Factors Influencing the Early 
Bearing of Fruit Trees 
1. Plant well-grown trees from a reputable nur- 
seryman. 
2. Avoid planting in poorly-drained soils. No fruit 
trees will tolerate ‘““Wet Feet.” Usually upland clay, 
sand or gravely loams are preferable to the so-called 
black and lowland types of soil. 
8. Set out varieties adapted to your section of the 
country. In most cases we have indicated the limita- 
tion of certain varieties which are not widely adapted. 
4. Use an abundance of peat moss mixed with the 
soil when planting in well-drained soils. 
5. Select varieties which normally come into bear- 
ing at an early age such as Wealthy Apples, Hale 
Haven Peaches, Stanley Plums and Oka Cherries, etc. 
6. Most fruit trees require several varieties 
planted together for proper pollinization. This will 
insure heavier fruiting. (Continued on page 24) 
Planting and Cultural Directions 
With spray schedules for all fruit trees are in- 
cluded in our 16-page “Successful Planting’ 
Booklet mailed free with each order. 


Fruit trees must not be neglected after planting. 
Provide a mulch around the tree or keep the soil 
well cultivated to prevent excessive drying out. 
After pruning of all fruit trees should be with the 
aim of forming a symmetrical top, with an even dis- 
tribution of branches; then thin out water sprouts 
and branches so as to allow plenty of air and sun- 
light into the tree; to cut back lateral branches only 
enough to keep them from becoming too whippy and 
to top the leaders of the trees so that they may not 
become too tall. In case of Peach trees considerably 
more annual pruning is done on all branches to pre- 
vent the tree from setting more fruit than it can prop- 
erly bring to maturity.
