THE APPLE BUSINESS 
Is a sure thing—if you have the right kind of 
a tree. People may plant too many oranges 
but the good old apple is a sure thing. The 
time to get in with that hillside is right now 
—this Spring. 
There is some discussion about the best 
aged tree to plant. Some want big trees and 
some little whips. We have them all! 
The size is a matter of opinion but every¬ 
body agrees that the health and lifp of the 
tree is more important. We put life and 
health in our trees—or they do it themselves. 
They grow in strong ground with no 
check from start to finish and with a long 
fall season to harden and ripen their woods. 
They are sound, free from disease and 
ready to grow. Every variety you want 
and every tree right. 
The Caftilog tells all about it.

'THiC RURAL NEW-YORKER 
CHEAP PLAN FOR STARTING TREES. 
On page 157 O. T., Congress Heights, 
D. C., asks for a cheap plan for starting 
trees. From 25 years or more of prac¬ 
tical and successful experience I would 
do exactly as O. T. suggests. I would, 
after all wood is removed and brush and 
trash ‘carefully burned, plant apple trees 
40 feet apart in rows each way, then fill 
in between apple trees with peach trees 
every 20 feet each way, skipping stumps, 
but the land must be kept clean from 
briers, weeds, grass and stump shoots. 
I would not mulch, but keep soil loose 
around trees with grub hoe for a few 
years, when land can be rooted around 
somewhat with plow.

SHALL WE MIX VARIETIES ? 
From your experience, do you think it 
necessary to plant other varieties with 
Baldwins to secure proper pollenization? 
What varieties? 
I have no knowledge of the question of 
pollenization ; but in planting on the Dun¬ 
kirk loam soil we put in either three or 
four rows of Greening and the same of 
Baldwin, alternating, whenever possible 
placing the Baldwin on the lighter soil and 
the Greening on the heavier. Greening 
blossoms a little ahead of Baldwin, al¬ 
though some years they come in almost to¬ 
gether. I would not like to plant fewer 
than three rows of one kind. 
Livingston Co., N. Y. s. fraser. 
I am not quite sure, but from observa¬ 
tion it seems that there are years that a 
large Baldwin orchard does not pollenlze, or 
for some reason does not set fruit even 
when they blossom well, so 1 believe it safer 
to put in, say, Ilubbardston or Greening, 
or a few Swaar, any of which do not blos¬ 
som quite when the Baldwin does; then if 
the early pollen is destroyed the later 
blossoms can catch the pollen from the 
later blossom from the other varieties. 
There is no harm at least in planting other 
varieties every third or fourth row. 
Ontario Co., N. Y. t. r. wilson. 
I do not believe it needs any at all. 
You might plant Duchess and Maiden Blush 
as fillers, as Baldwins ought to be 45 feet 
apart. luther coi.uamer. 
Monroe Co., N. Y. 
I do not think it makes any difference 
in regard to setting other kinds of apples 
with Baldwins or other kinds for pollon- 
ization. w. r. teats. 
Wayne Co., N. Y. 
As to the necessity of planting other 
varieties of apples with Baldwins for pol¬ 
lenization, I have a Baldwin apple orchard 
of 20G trees that is quite a distance from 
any other apple orchards, it has had a 
crop for the lust six years. From experi¬ 
ence and observation I do not think that in 
New York State it is necessary to plant 
other kinds of apples with Baldwins for 
pollenization. The record of this orchard

I would like to know the result of the 
nope Farm man’s plan with strawberries. 
The following was published in The R. 
N.-Y. about three years ago: “We are 
trying a new plan this year. As the old 
beds are cleaned out after mowing them 
over we intend to dig yearling roots and 
transplant them in rows two feet apart, 
and one foot in the row. The runners will 
be cut off and the plants forced for heavy 
growth. Mr. Kevitt tells me this plan 
ought to work and give us a good crop next 
year—better than if potted or layer plants 
were used. 1 do not recommend the plan. 
We are just trying it and taking the risk.” 
G. w. j. 
The season was quite favorable that year 
and these plants made a good growth. The 
following year they produced a fair crop— 
not as large as from layer plants started 
in the Spring, but larger than from potted 
lants. in a dry season where the soil is 
ried out after fruiting it is hard to make 
these large plants live.
