POLLINATION OF FRUIT TREES 
The value of pollination in the production of a fruit crop is now well recognized. 
Although many varieties are self-fruitful, experiments show that they are greatly 
benefited by cross-pollination. 
Here are some brief remarks on how to select your varieties: 
APPLES: Most varieties need cross-pollination. Plant therefore at least two different 
varieties. Good pollinators are Cortland, Delicious, Macoun, and Wealthy. In- 
clude one of these varieties in your planting. 
PEARS: Plant at least two different varieties for proper pollination. Bartlett and 
Seckel do not pollinate each other. Where these two varieties are planted, a 
third variety such as Beurre Boscs or Gorham should be included. 
PLUMS: Abundance and Burbank need cross-pollination. They pollinate each other. 
All other varieties which we offer are self-fruitful. 
CHERRIES: Plant at least two different varieties. Napoleon and Bing do not pollinate 
each other. Where these two varieties are planted, another variety such as Black 
Tartarian or Windsor should be included. All sour cherries are self-fruitful. 
All other kinds of fruit can be considered self-fruitful. 
For complete information we refer to Circular No. 132 issued by New York State 
Experiment Station, Geneva, N. Y. They will be glad to send you a copy free of 
charge if you ask for it. 

FALL PLANTING 
Fall is an ideal time to plant most kinds of trees, shrubs and roses. Only such 
plants are offered in this catalog which will do well when planted in the fall. 

There is a simple reason for the better success of fall planting: The earth be- 
comes firmly packed about the roots during the winter, and the soil gets plenty 
of moisture during that time. 
pe h fat the aT ae aes early and vigorous start the following spring: 
much earlier and much better than when planted in the spri .

Therefore, when you have the choice, plant in the fall for best results.
