THURSDAY,  NOVEMBER  19,  1903. 
Types  of  Froit  Trees. 
HE  planting  season  extends  al 
winter,  so  long  as  the  weather 
is  mild  and  open.  Planters 
should  consider  carefully  the 
merits  of  various  classes  of 
trees  before  they  make  their  fina 
selection.  By  doing  this  they  may 
often  avoid  mistakes  which  have  to 
•  lO 
many,  proved  costly  in  the  past.  A 
point  frequently  forced  to  the  front  in  various 
quarters  is,  that  if  trees  are  obtained  from  a 
colder  district  than  that  in  which  they  are  to 
be  planted,  they  will  give  better  results  than 
when  brought  from  a  warm  to  a  slightly  colder 
district.  I  have  never  been  able  to  find  that 
this  assertion  has  any  foundation  in  fact,  and 
after  having  watched  the  behaviour  of  trees 
obtained  from  various  sources  closely  for  some 
years,  I  am  decidedly  of  opinion  that  this  old 
idea  is  an  absolute  fallacy.  The  vital  point  is 
to  get  well  grown  trees  with  plenty  of  fibrous 
roots,  and  top  growths  free  from  insects  or 
diseases,  and  correctly  named  ;  then,  no  matter 
from  what  district  they  are  obtained,  if  planted 
under  suitable  conditions,  good  results  will 
inevitably  follow. 
Another  fallacy  which  needs  combating  is 
the  idea  that  the  planting  of  big  trees  neces¬ 
sarily  means  quick  returns  in  the  shape  of 
fruit.  There  is  at  the  present  time  a  great 
demand,  among  persons  not  well  versed  in  fruit 
culture,  for  trees  with  long,  strong  shoots, 
which  have  been  quickly  grown.  Nurserymen 
must,  of  course,  cater  for  this  class  of 
customers,  and  they  do  so  by  transplanting 
the  trees  intended  for  them  less  often  thau 
those  which  are  disposed  of  to  men  who  know 
what  good  trees  should  be  like.  The  big, 
quickly  grown,  untransi^lanted  trees  have  but 
few  fibrous  roots,  aud  when  they  are  set  out  in 
their  permanent  positions  they  necessarily  take 
a  long  time  to  get  thoroughly  established.  The 
EADERS  are  requested  to  send  notices  of  Gardening 
Appointments  or  Notes  of  Horticultural  Interest, 
intimations  of  Meetings,  Queries,  and  all  Articles  for 
Publication,  officially  to  “  THH  HDITOR,”  at 
12,  Mitre  Court  Chambers,  Fleet  Street, 
London,  E.C.,  and  to  no  other  person  and  to  no  other 
address.
