A Short Apple Talk 
Tho articles on fruits, especially the 
apple, whieli appear from time to time 
in The It. X.-V. have been of much in¬ 
terest to me. On page 559 I notice the 
Ortley aj)i)le is spoken of as identical with 
the Ilelrnout. I am not acquainted witli 
tiio Ortley, but I am (Tuite familiar with 
lie Itelmont. It oi-iginatcd in Ilolmout 
County, Ohio. It was quite largely 
(ijfopagated in tho older orehard.s, hut iu 
recent years few trees have been pl.anted. 
It is known in different sections of Oliio 
under the names Gate, IMamma Beam 
and Waxen. When the fruit is at its 
best it is an oxeellent early Winter va¬ 
riety, but tlie fruit and trees are .so sub- 
.ie( t to diseases that it is questionalile 
whether .'t wi.se to continue its propa¬ 
gation. The Rloyer apple resembles it 
in many respects, has few of its weak- 
nes.ses and is more productive and uni¬ 
form. I recall tliree Belmont trees that 
grew in one of my father’s orchards 
which were very nmmiform and were 
badly ‘•uih.ject to water-core and water- 
spots, wliilo in a neighbor’s orchard some 
of tlie trees grew fine fruit. 
It may not ho amiss if I give you tlie 
list of aiiplcs T have selected for my own 
orchard, as they may la; suggestive, al¬ 
though they may not appeal to all who 
may be contemplating iilanting a home 
orchard. My list comjirises the following 
varieties: Yellow Transparent, Sweet 
Bough, Garden Royal, Mother, Red .Tof- 
feris, .Tersey Sweet, I’e.ase, Sumimu' 
Rambo, Ohio Nonpariel, Wealthy. I.ow- 
ell, Rambo, JMoyer, Stayman 'Winesap, 
Delicious, Sutton Beauty, Red Gauada, 
Yellow Delicious, Rentlcy and a variety 
which I shall style No. 1, as I do not 
know the name of the .apple, two trees 
of wliich grow in one of my brothers-in- 
law’s orchard. It is a sweet cider apple 
distinguished for its peculiar and pleas¬ 
ant aroma. I took much interest iu .se¬ 
curing samples of apples wliich bear 
flowery descriptions in some of the nurs¬ 
ery catalogues. In many eases I wuis 
very much disappointed in the fruit. It 
is better to be guided by tho State agri¬ 
cultural experiment stations than by nurs¬ 
ery catalogues. The former are iuierested 
in the orclmrdi.^t, while in many oases 
the latter are more interested in selling

Rhubarb Culture 
( !in you 1(>:I me what to do about rhu- 
bard tliat .all gm's to bloom .and dot's not 
make many It'.avesV I havt' had rhubarb 
for a good many years, but nevi'r bad it 
to bloom .so till tills year. A year ago last 
Ball I re.set the plants. Last year it ilid 
line, hut this ye.ar nearly every iilant lias 
gone to bloom. w. s. 
Virginia. 
Rhubarb thrives best in a rich loam, 
deep and inclined to moisture. I found 
when living in your section tliat I got the 
best results from planting in the fertile 
bottom land on Moeehmns River. But iu 
a home garden one has to take the soil he 
has. In my garden I cover the b<'d heav- 
il.v in the late Fall with stable manure, 
find keei) it on in Summer .is a mulch to 
preserve the moisture in the soil. It is 
very common for rhubiirb to attempt to 
run to bloom find seed. I cut out at once 
every flower betid before it can expiind, 
for the plants will be greatly weakened 
if they are allowed to grow. Every three 
or four years the roots sliould he ttikeii up 
in the Fall and divided and replanted. 
Heavy feeding makes the big leaf stalks, 
and rhubfirb is a product of stulHng like 
asparagus. The moi-e nmnure you use 
oil it the heavier the stalks. Years ago I 
used up a good many roots for forcing in 
Winter, but now I tivoid this waste, since 
wo find how easy it is keiit iu AYinter. 
We simply preiiare the stalks as for cook¬ 
ing and pack them into fruit jars, fill up 
with cold water and screw the top fast. 
Only this and nothing more, find it is 
rofidy to use all Winter and till the new 
growth comes, and. cooked iu the Spring, 
alongside the fresh stfilks, I do not think 
iiiyoue could tell the new from the old. 
Feed high and keep every flower head cut 
out as soon as it shows. w. i'. m. 
Greater Strength 
Where Road Strain Conies 
See those strong supporting shoulders in the picture 
below. Those '’rt Ajax Shoulders of Strength. 
They give Ajax tires more tread on the road. 
They are a special patented Ajax feature. They 
put greater strength where the road strain comes. 
They mean more miles—no matter what your 
road conditions are. 
Dirt Track Champions 
In 1917, Ajax tires won sweeping victories—237 in all—- 
at state fairs from Texas to Massachusetts. Speed kin^s of 
the dirt track—the fellows who must have the best tires— 
invariably use Ajax. 
And, 97 times in 100, Ajax tires are chosen by the In¬ 
dividual owner like yourself, to replace some other make 
that came on his car. 
^ Ajax inner tubes are superior in value and service. Ajax 
tires and tubes will save you money. Try them.
