A RESUME OF THE SEASON AT DANSVILLE 
Dansville, N. Y August 6th, lyoy.. 
Ed. National Nurseryman, 
Sir: 
We have had a very dry season at Dansville and I am 
confirmed in my opinion that a dry season, with intensive 
cultivation, stirring the soil frequently and only deep 
enough to thoroughly remove the surface, is better from a 
grower’s standpoint than a wet season with its attendant 
evils of weeds, trees dropping their leaves and the difficulty 
in coping with insect foes. Cherries and Standard pears 
like a dry soil and we have a better growth this season 
than we have had for several previous years. We have 
been singularly free from insect pests and blights this 
season. While we looked over our trees and dipped those 
showing signs of becoming infested with aphis in a solution 
of sulpho-tobacco soap, it was done with a purpose of 
prevention as at no time did the aphis become troublesome 
or nupierous. When blight appeared we cut it out and 
burned it. 
In the matter of fertilizers we have never found any food 
as good as stable manure for fruit tree growth, and we use it 
plentifully, generally, however, as a top dressing. All weeds 
\ I in nursery rows are kept down by frequent cultivation by 
horse and hand. Our aim is to secure a lengthy continuous 
growth during the forepart of the season by planting trees in 
soil adapted to their specific needs and assisting nature to 
the best of our ability by making all conditions favorable to 
attain the result desired. 
We grow fruit trees, cherry sweet and sour, standard and 
dwarf pears, apples, plums and quinces, for the wholesale 
trade. Stock is being closely bought up in this locality, 
especially apples and plums, and we think everything will 
go, for as you know we have an unexcelled reputation for 
growing splendid trees here that will easily stand the shock 
of transplanting. Then there is no San Jose Scale. 'I he 
latter feature alone should send trade to Dansville sufficient 
to use up all surplus unbought stock. 
Sincerely, 
Frank M. Hartman.
