A PEACH ESPALIER TREE. 
POLLINATION OF FRUIT TREES 
APPLES: Most varieties need cross-pollination. Plant therefore at least two different 
varieties. Good pollinators are Cortland, Delicious, and Wealthy. Include one of 
these varieties in your planting. Latest Observations by the New York State Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station, Geneva, N. Y., indicate that Baldwin, Jonathan, Rome 
Beauty, Rhode Island Greening, and Wealthy are self-fruitful. However, crops are 
benefited if another variety is planted as a pollinator. 
PEARS: Most varieties need cross-pollination. Plant therefore at least two different 
varieties. Bartlett and Seckel do not pollinate each other. Where these two var- 
ieties are planted, a third variety should be included. Duchesse d’Angouleme and 
Flemish Beauty were found to be self-fruitful. However, these varieties, too, are 
benefited by cross-pollination. 
PLUMS: Abundance and Burbank need cross-pollination. They pollinate each other. 
All other varieties which we offer are self-fruitful. 
CHERRIES: Sweet Cherries need cross-pollination. Plant at least two different varie- 
ties. All Sour Cherries are self-fruitful. 
PEACHES: J. H. Hale requires pollination. Any other peach will pollinate this var- 
iety. Other varieties of peaches are self-fruitful. 
APRICOTS, CRAB APPLES, NECTARINES: They are self-fruitful. However, crops will 
be increased by planting different varieties for pollination. 
FILBERT NUTS, BLUEBERRIES: They need cross-pollination. Plant two or more differ- 
ent varieties to insure satisfactory crops. 
Other kinds of fruit trees and berry plants are self-fruitful. 
QUINTUPLET APPLE TREES 
A tree that produces 5 varieties of apples on one tree. The varieties are Jona- 
than, Rome Beauty, Delicious, Yellow Delicious, and Yellow Transparent. One 
Quintuplet Apple Tree planted by itself can be expected to produce satisfactory 
crops without requiring another tree for pollination.
