The two following questions were discussed by
the Fruit Growers Society Of Weston, N. Y.
held at Rochester Jan. 5 and 6.
lSt How many varieties should he embraced
in an orchard of 1000 trees
2L Which are the most profitable varieties
for Nh orchard Of 1000 trees?
The following account of the discussion we take
from tho GcncSce Farmer:
l.. b. Langworthy We nre speaking of one
thousand trees aud Of course mean market fruit
Although the Baldwin is far from being our best
apple, yet il sells we and | would have five
hundred Boldwius, or Fall Pippins we have new
cr enough, aud would have five hundred Fall
Pippins.
Dr. Spcnce-'rhc Fall Pippin is n shy bearer
and not irst-ratc keeper. The X. |. Grecning
and Baldwin Olwoys bear and always keep. The
'romphins County King is good early in the tall
and from the first of Doc. to the first of April, is
very iavorto apple with buyers; IS an abundant
bearer, superior 10 the Baldwin, and u fine large
apple.
j. J. Thomas, OF Cnyuga did not wish to be con.
coed in some seasons and some in another. OF q
dozen sorts, some will be sure 10 succeed, and wa
shall have plenty in each year. The three sorts
named by DR.. Spence are best for two-thirds OF
any one thousand trees.
! II. Il. Hooker endorsed heartily the remarks OF
! Mcssrs, Thomas and Spence us to sorts; would add
Twenty Ounce or Cuyuga Red Streak. Any buy
cr will take it first. 1t is very productive ,rpens
in all November and December, and takes the
place OF lho Fall Pippin, (which, though uncqualed
| for quality, is n poor bearer. Would also add
the rolman Sweet Itripens IN the first OF
! December to The first of May. Would add the
| Roxbury Russet for late keeping.
MIR, |. Barber would plant Gvo hundred Bald
wins, two hundred aud fifty Roxbury Russots, and
two hundred and fifty X. l. Grcenings
Mr. Stone, of Oswego, would remind the mem
hcrs Of three kinds of cullvators- first anna tours
second, ia nly cultivatorS; aud third market or.
chnrdistS- and we are only recommending such
fruits as are best for the latter Would add Low.
ell md Wogcner The latter isproiic and hand
some, aud is an admirable cooking apple
Mr.. Elwauger, of Monroe, added Sweet Bougl
and Red Asrnchau.
4. G. Ycomans, Of Wayne The requisites
are, the tree must be good grower and II good
bearer; fruit of good quality; and firm us to bC
| carried to distant markets without bruising OF
damage. The Baldwin never fails to fruit well
| when anything else bears OF the one thousand
! trees. would have niue hundred and ninety nine
! Baldwins, and the other one baldwin
| Mr.. Fish would have at least len varieties
| w. B, Smith, of Onondaga, would havo all
Badwins because it is the greatest bearer pro.
luaes most fruit in given time, aud the trees are
uniformly healthy and vigorous.
| Prof Coppock the country would have
the Baldwin aud Grccning; living near the city
would have cNriy upplcs--tho KcswCk Cooling
Early harvest MS we'll ns the Red Asrachun,
Mr. Barry From Buldwns the most profit is
made, generally speaking; but an orchard is n
great nvo. tmcut--nn Investment Gl well made)
Tor two liletmcS-- and it is better TO have trees
not bear quite as early. as Ia have them wear
out 50 carly Would have five sorts, at least.
II. \, inngworlhy, Of Monroe 1t would moi
appear well tor this Society to recommend only
one or two SortS--lhc taste of purchasers would
get cloycd. Would have ten or twelve varieties
Quite discussion sprung up rs TO the nature
and merits Of the Northern Spy some not think
ing very highly OF it, and others rcmsrking; do
say md repeat that the Northern spy is the finest
nipple ever grown, TO nay taste Have seen crops
sent from here to every part of the Union, aud
laudcd TO tho skies AS to it's decacy Of skin,
ten barrels were carried to Milwaukee from West.
crn New York last winter and arrived in fine con.
diton.' "lr the tops Of the trec are spread by
proper trimming, and the fruits hinncd so the
tree will not bear too heavily the fruit is OF euor-
nous size, high colored, and very fine. The tree
Will bear every year
