HORTICULTURE 
And Kindred Interests 
(Department managed by a North Shore Gardener) 
At the North Shore Horticultural 
society meeting on Friday evening, 
Jan. 2, F. A, Smith of the Eissex 
County Agricultural school spoke on 
“Apples from a Commercial Stand- 
point.” He said in part, “T will di- 
vide my subject into four essential 
divisions, — cultivating, fertilizing, 
spraying and pruning. There is now 
coming in a fifth division, thinning 
of the fruit, and this may outrank 
the other essentials. 
“Under the first consideration, cul- 
tivating, the question arises, ‘Shail 
we cultivate our orchards in Eastern 
Massachusetts or not?’ Grant Hitch- 
ings has achieved some notable re- 
sults in New York state with apple 
orchards in sod, using a scheme of 
mulching and surface feeding, Nev- 
ertheless, it is said the Grant Hitch- 
ings orchards take the prizes, but 
that other orchards pay the profits. 
Soil in. New York state is different 
from our New England soil, al- 
though experiments by the New 
York state experimental station on 
leased orchards at Syracuse and 
Rochester, one-half of the orchards 
being cultivated and one-half in the 
sod show that under sod the yield 
was less, although fruit was of high 
color. The cultivated part yielded 
more fruit and the fruit kept better. 
One drawback on the sod system in 
Massachusetts is that we would not 
get as full benefit from the rainfall 
as under a cultivating system, with 
a dust mulch established early in the 
spring. Which ever system is chos- 
en, orchards should be cultivated for 
the first five or ten years, at least. 
“On the question of intercroping, 
this is found desirable, as the crops 
between the rows and other fruit 
trees planted between the apple trees 
may be made to pay the cost of grow- 
ing the apple trees to bearing size. 
Orchardists who have practised this 
method have encountered some dif- 
ficulties, such as lack of room to go 
through and spray. Peach and plum 
fillers will not stand the same streng- 
th of spraying materials as apple
