are not difficult, though this is a hard 
problem to distinguish between the Black 
Tartarian and the wild Mazzard which 
has been sold for it in many cases. 
Peaches are difficult, but much progress 
could be made if one would give intensive 
study to the problem. For small fruits 
the problem of labeling would be more 
difficult than that of recognizing varieties. 
This is on account of the small value of 
the individual plants and the difficulty 
with some in attaching a seal. 
One may ask how difficult it is to learn 
to know varieties by the leaves and other 
tree characters. It depends greatly on 
the individual, his natural aptitude, his 
previous experience with trees and the 
amount of time he may put into it. The 
writer has taught men to know the dif¬ 
ference between two varieties in five min¬ 
utes so that they knew these two ever 
after. As one adds to the number of 
varieties the complexity of the problem 
increases rapidly. Probably it would re¬ 
quire at least two years’ experience in the 
nursery with considerable help from some¬ 
one familiar with varieties before om 
could be fairly sure of 20 or 30 varieties 
of apples in common cultivation. 
The nurserymen have given much ef¬ 
fort to the question of misfit trees, but no 
satisfactory solution of the problem has 
been proposed until the plan of certifica¬ 
tion was brought forward. It is our firm 
belief that we have here a scheme that 
will enable us to eliminate completely the 
misfit tree. J. K. siiaw. 
The Apple in Rhyme 
It is not likely that Tennyson or Long¬ 
fellow would ever have let the following 
go out under their signature, but, after 
all, it is helpful poetry if the world can 
be led to follow the advice it contains: 
To regulate the human gizzard and all 
man’s frame from A to izzard the good 
red apple is a wizard. When Mother 
Eve picked her lunch I’ll say she had the 
proper hunch. The one she ate she found 
a seed in, and having sneaked it out of 
Eden, she planted it and so I wist be¬ 
came the first pomologist, and put one 
over on her partner, who thought him¬ 
self the only gardener. To eat each day 
a juicy pome will keep the doctor from 
your home. So shed your nightshirt, rise 
betimes, and pick yourself a Golden 
Grimes. No more I ween will old Doc 
Green come ramping up in his machine, 
all set to amputate my spleen. No more 
he’ll jab with hand expert to find the 
spots he knows will hurt. No longer 
overwork his brain and all its fine ball¬ 
bearings strain, determining a diagnosis 
before he tells me what the dose is. In¬ 
stead of pills of varied size I'm eating 
Winesaps, Yorks and Spies. And you, I 
hope, will follow suit, and fill yourself 
with wholesome fruit.—Bob Adams. 
Baking and Pie Apples 
After reading Mr. Olcott’s remarks on 
pie apples, on page 210, I want to say 
that if he or anyone else has ever eaten a 
better pie than Missouri Pippins make, 
his experience is different from mine. We 
think Missouri Pippin the very best there 
is, both for apple sauce or pies. If Mr. 
Olcott will remind me about the first of 
October, and if it happens that there is 
a crop this season, I will be glad to mail 
him enough Missouri Pippins to make a 
good pie. Then I want to hear from him 
again. My favorite for baking is Winter 
Banana. Bore out the core, fill the hole 
with sugar, and bake slowly but thor¬ 
oughly, and she is sure good.

The La France Raspberry 
With us the La France raspberry acts 
just like other everbearing type of rasp¬ 
berry ; that is, everbearing most of the 
time, but not every season, and not pro¬ 
ductive enough to rank as a good com¬ 
mercial venture. Most everbearing rasp¬ 
berries act this way, due largely to the 
fact that they are either pure European 
sorts, Itubus idaeus, or have a strong ad¬ 
mixture of that species. All of the suc¬ 
cessful commercial varieties grown in 
America are developed from our native 
raspberry, though with some improvement 
by infusions of European blood. The 
whole case resembles that of our grape. 
It is a good quality berry, and of fairly 
good size, so that it should be worth try¬ 
ing in the home plantation. Yet as a 
commercial venture, conservative men 
will avoid it. 
At the same time there are localities 
where these varieties do well. For in¬ 
stance, the St. Regis seems to do very 
well in Southern Jersey. Yet there are 
those who will say that the reason even 
the St. Regis does well there is because it 
happens to be fairly free from mosaic in 
contrast to the other sorts grown there 
commercially. Just as soon as it gets 
mosaic, they say, it too' will succumb.
