Days  to  maturity,  130.  This  stock,  the  culmination  of  fifteen  years’  work,  represents 
our  highest  attainment  as  seedsmen.  It  will  prove  invaluable  in  all  intensive  operations 
whether  under  glass  or  in  the  field.  This  is  the  first  year  of  distribution  of  this  strain 
Stokes  Super  Standard  Bonny  Best  is  a  remarkable  selection  made  frpm  a  crop  which  was 
officially  recognized  as  one  of  the  heaviest  yielding  fields  in  New  Jersey  this  past  season  The 
individual  specimens  were  gathered  only  from  healthy,  productive  hills  bearing  large  earlv 
fruits,  some  crown-set  and  some  branch-set  to  combine  earliness  and  yield.  Before  thev  were 
finally  passed  they  were  individually  cut  by  hand  and  examined  for  inside  color  soliditv 
and  freedom  from  disease.  ’  J 
We  have  concentrated  our  very  best  efforts  on  this  Super-Standard  Bonny  Best  We 
are  confident  that  it  will  make  a  good  account  of  itself  after  it  leaves  Windermoor  Farm

Distinguishing  Varieties  by  Leaves 
Last  year  we  described  the  proposed 
method  of  distinguishing  varieties  of  ap¬ 
ples  by  the  shape  and  general  appearance 
of  their  leaves.  This  method  has  been 
worked  out  by  Prof.  J.  It.  Shaw  of  the 
Massachusetts  Experiment  Station.  aVid 
is  well  described  in  Bulletin  No.  208  of 
that  station.  The  theory  is  based  on  the 
fact  that  apple  trees  produce  leaves  which 
are  just  as  fixed  in  their  characteristics 
as  are  the  fruit.  Most  of  us  can  easily 
hi  7 
Ben  Davis 
tell  a  Ben  Davis  from  a  Roxbury  Russet 
at  a  single  glance.  If  we  were  to  examine 
the  leaves  closely  we  should  find  that  they 
also  are  definite  iu  shape  and  appearance. 
With  a  little  study  we  are  able  to  separ¬ 
ate  the  trees  by  their  leaves  as  easily  as 
we  do  the  fruit. 
To  illustrate  this  we  give  herewith  pic¬ 
tures  of  a  leaf  from  Russet  and  another 
from  Ben  Davis,  both  taken  from  this 
bulletin.  This  shows  clearly  how  this

Transplanting  Grapevines 
I  am  obliged  to  move  my  grape  arbor 
back  about  six  feet.  Can  you  suggest 
when  and  how  to  remove  my  plants? 
Seaford,  N.  Y.  *  w.  c.  h. 
Medium  aged  grapevines  may  be  suc¬ 
cessfully  transplanted,  but  the  period  of 
recovery  from  the  operation  occupies 
so  long  a  time  that  is  is  usually 
a  saving  to  set  new  plants  rather 
than  attempt  to  move  the  old  ones. 
Early  Spring,  before  the  frost  leaves 
the  ground,  is  the  best  time  for  the 
transplanting.  With  the  trunk  as  a  cen¬ 
ter,  the  roots  are  severed  at  a  distance 
of  2  or  3  ft.  from  it,  and  to  a  depth  of  1 
ft.  or  more.  If  the  soil  be  frozen  the 
vine  with  a  ball  of  earth  can  be  lifted  and 
Placed  in  the  desired  location  that  has 
been  dug  deep  enough  to  receive  this  bail 
to  the  depth  it  originally  stood.  After  it 
has  been  placed  the  soil  should  be  thor¬ 
oughly  compacted.  This  should  be  re¬ 
peated  often  as  the  frost  leaves  the  ground. 
Loose  earth  should  be  thrown  over  the 
surface  to  check  evaporation  from  the 
space  between  the  edges  of  the  opening 
and  the  mass  of  the  ball.  The  vines 
should  be  pruned  very  closely,  and  no 
fruit  allowed  to  develop  the  first  season.

new  system  can  be  used.  It  is  now  being 
employed  iu  a  plan  for  certifying  trees 
in  the  nursery  row.  An  expert  can  go 
to  the  nursery,  examine  the  leaves  of  the 
young  trees,  and  separate  them  accurately 
by  their  leaves  and  label  them  properly. 
We  think  this  method  is  quite  sure  to 
develop  and  prove  very  useful  in  prevent¬ 
ing  the  purchase  of  misfit  trees.  We 
think  it  will  pay  every  large  fruit  grower 
to  study  the  system.
