Peaches from Seed 
Will you advise me about planting 
peach stones? I have read advice to put 
them as eoon as used into a box and bury 
them in the ground over Winter; next 
Spring take them out of the box and 
plant them where you want them. I 
suppose the idea of burying them over 
Winter is to keep them from drying up. 
Rockville, Conn. » a. n. r. 
Peach stocks are always grown from 
seed. It used to be thought these stocks 
should be grown from Southern natural 
'peaches only, but of late years nursery¬ 
men have used pits from all sources aiid 
from all kinds of trees. Pits saved from 
healthy orchard trees produce quite as 
good stocks for budding as the Southern 
naturals. In saving the pits it is not 
good^ to dry them too much; about- two 
days’ exposure to the sun is all that is 
necessary in the way of curing. If the 
kernel becomes thoroughly dried they are 
very slow to germinate, and many' will 1 
never sprout, but when exposed to the j 
sun and air just long enough to dry the j 
f^hell («f the pit thoroughly and then stored 
in a cool cellar or covered with dry sand 
until time to bury them in the open 
ground, every sound seed will germinate. 
It is the common practice of nurserymen 
to bury the pits in the open ground in 
the Fall, selecting a situation for the 
purpose_ that is naturally well drained. 
A hole is scooped out about eight inches 
deep and as large in diameter as is 
necessary. The seeds are spread out iu 
layers, first a layer of seed, then a thin 
layer of soil, the top layer of seed having 
a covering of soil about three inches deep. 
The seed usually commences coining up 
early in May, and if it has not been done 
earlier the seed should be lifted with a 
fork, carefully picked up and planted in 
nursery rows about SV 2 feet apart, and 
four to five inches apart in the row. If 
planted in good ground they will be large 
enough to bud in August. When the 
seeds are taken out to be planted in nur¬ 
sery rows any that have not sprouted 
should be carefully cracked with a ham¬ 
mer and the kernels planted same as the 
sprouted ones. If they are carefully re¬ 
moved from the shell without breaking 
them, apart almost every kernel will 
germinate and produce a good stock by 
budding time in August. K. 
Best Fruit Varieties 
Iu regard to what variety of apples to 
plant, there are many points to be con¬ 
sidered. for the person who is getting 
along. in years. He should set those 
varieties that come in bearing early. For 
the home orchard in our section (Morris 
Go., N. .T.). Yellow Transparent for early 
S''ummer, Twenty Ounce, Wealthy and 
Duchess are good Fall sorts. Winter 
Banana, which bears early, and Baldwins, 
Northern Spy and Rhode Island Green¬ 
ing are standard varieties, takiug 10 to 15 
years to come in full bearing. Fp to 
the present time in two orchards, 10 and 
12 years of age. we have set. our Weal- 
vhy, Ben Davis. Wagener, Gano and Win¬ 
ter Banana have paid us better than 
Baldwin. Northern Spy, Delicious. King, 
Wolf River and Rhode Island Greening, 
but from now on I expect these varieties 
to be the better payers. We are heading 
all our. trees very low and using sod mulch. 
There is some risk from fire and have had 
a few girdled by mice. By heading low and 
using mulch you can spray and gather 
with less expense, which is to be con¬ 
sidered at the present time.

A first-class variety of apple for the 
Hudson Valley, under certain conditions, 
is the Northwestern Greening. The tree 
is a very good grower, early bearer, 
hardy and very productive in alternate 
years. The fruit usually brings nu»re 
than R. I. Greening, barrel for barrel, 
and, I believe, will grow at least 50 per 
cent more apples to the tree of the same 
age. Its bearing habit is such that the 
trees need much propping to prevent 
breaking, and the apples vary in size 
from small to very large, though three- 
fourths of them will usually grade 2% 
inches and over. This variety grows to 
perfection on a fertile sandy soil, and 
may do as well on other soils as far as 
I know. The Baldwin. R. I. Greening 
and Ren Davis are the leading varieties 
here. Of late years McIntosh. Wealthy 
and Oldenburg have been set in large 
numbers. They have not yet had the 
test of time, but seem promising. Fall 
Pippin, has been a favorite here many 
years in a limited way. Rome Beauty 
has been planted some, with the expecta¬ 
tion of bettering Ben Davis. L. H.

Potato Scab 
I am sending you a sample of my 
potatoes, which are very scabby, although 
the seed was treated with formalin. They 
have been the same way on this piece of 
ground for three years. R. 
Long Island. 
The potato was nearly covered with 
scab, showing that the soil is badly in¬ 
fested with scab germs. In this case 
treatment of the seed will not prevent 
a scabby crop. A 1 tation that will keep 
potatoes from tl. .ITcab-infested ground 
three or four years should be practiced. 
Where this cannot well he done, some 
growers report fair success from plowing 
under green rye in Spring and then plant¬ 
ing potatoes. The green crop makes the 
soil slightly acid when turned tinder, so 
that the scab germs are less active.
