What Fruit to Plant

What Fruit to Plant.
II. t. Harrise of Kentucky to
the Kentucky Horticultural So
ciety says:
l desire to give you the names OF
the very few varieties of fruit that
an experience and observation of a
quarter of a century have taught
me are the best for central Ken
lucky if not for nearly the entire
state. My object in dong this is
to save time, labor, expense, and
disappointment to those who intend
to plant in the future, and who NAV
be ignorant of the facts herein
stated.
In planting an orchard, or small
fruit garden, either for family use
or market, "a great many varieties
should not be planted, but only
those of known merit in your vi
entity. Beginning, then, with ap
Piles, l name for summer-the Ear
ly Harvest, Golden Sweet, Red AS
trachan, Early Stra berry, Ear
ly Margaret, and Maiden Blush
For Autumn-The Rambo, Fal
Queen, and Fall Pippin
For early winter or late autumn
the Rome Beauty, Ben Davis ant
Northern Spy.
For late winter keepers--the Ram
DO, Janet, Timber twig, Penick
Shockley, and Smiths cider. TIL,
latter is, however, misnomer, a
the name indicates that it is only &
for cider or vinegaring apple, AM
is hardy as a keeper. l sugges
that it be called Smith apple, an,
recommend that it be largely planted
all over the state.
The foregoing are about all
advise you to plant; not that Their
are none others that would do a
well as they, and in some seasons
perhaps better, but those 1 know
will give you all you want in the ap
pie line of fruit.
In peaches. advise you to plan
one year old trees, with low heads
OF the Early Crawford, Alexander
Amsden, Hale's Early, (the latte
often rots badly Beatrice, Early
York, Smock, Old Nixon Free, Lat,
Crawford, and Henrietta.
OF cherries, among the bes
sweet kinds are-American, Amber
Yellow Spanish, and Black Tarta
rian. For pies, tarts, preserves
and canning, the Morelloes should
be planted, and of this class, tht
Dyehouse, which ripens about the
last of May, is the best of all. 1t i:
asemi-dwarf, hardy, prolific, anG
almost a sure bearer every year
Next best Of this class is Early
Richmond and English Morello
Of plums, the Wild Goose, or any
others of the Chickasaw family
will be almost sure to give you a
full or partial crop every year. The
soft, thin-skin varieties will, "next
to certain" prove to be only lodg
ing place for the Curculio, the great
pest of the plum orchard. These
little Turks deposit their eggs in
the fruit as soon as 1t Is large as a
pea, the egg matches into worm in
a short time, and the plum is de
stroyed Not so, however, with the
Chickasaw family. They ale i'm
pervious to the stings of the curcu-
Ii. However, if you can devote a
a good deal of patience, con
considerable labor on your plum
trees, you may get some to eat
Of Gooseberries, the Haughton
Seeding.
OF Currants, the Red Dutch,
White grape and Victoria.
OF raspberries, the Mammoth
Cluster, Turner Cor Southern
Thornless),.. and the Philadelphia
The first is black cap,and the 9th
er two arered.
OF strawberries, the Wilson S
Albany, Cumberland Downing, and
Dowder's Prolific.
