WASTE BETWEEN NURSERY AND ORCHARD. 
State Entomologist John B. Smith of New Jersey at the an¬ 
nual meeting of the State Horticultural Society brought out 
points to which American Gardening calls attention. Has it 
ever occurred to the average fruit-grower what an enormous 
waste there is between the nursery and the bearing orchard ? 
In the State of New Jersey 5,000,000 young peach trees are 
raised annually ; more than in any other state in the Union. 
A very conservative estimate would place the number at 
10,000,000 east of the Rockies. At 150 trees per acre this 
means 6,700 acres of orchards for New Jersey. As an actual 
fact, there are less than 1,900 acres of peaches in the state- 
Those trees which are raised in the state during a single year 
would set this acreage three times over. There is no doubt 
whatever that less than 10 per cent of all the peach trees set 
out ever bear fruit, and the same is true of other fruits. 
“ What has become of the trees ? They have been ruined by 
the shiftlessness of growers. A large per cent of farmers don’t 
know what they want peaches for anyway. They simply clear 
the land, set out the trees and literally wait for them to bear.”
