Planting an Orchard.

George Van Houtens. a succa.s,u
orchardist, gives as his best adyice IN
following in the Farmer: Choose hish
ground. or at least if not higk, ii ahou m
have lower ground in the vicinity. Inv
hills near deep valleys or rayines vii
do. This is for air drainage and to 4.
cape spring frosts. Avoid valleys. hi.
toms, or sloughs, where fog OF yspon
can accumulate. North slope preferred.
Plant close, in rows running slightly
west of south. Lean trees well in al.
rection the rows run. Trees inclined to
go east of north should be leaned ten %
twenty degrees. Choose but few Va
rieties known to do well in the locality;
four are enough for a commercial and
twelve for a family orchard. Cultivate
well, bank up trees in autumn, plant
corn, leaving until spring to gather; cut
stalks, plant again, and continue thus
antil trees begin to bear, then GOV
to cover. Close planning in row is bee,
protection against sun-scald. Sun and
air, with convenience OF going through
the orchard with wagon, can bs had
by having rows as far apart as the Va
rieties demand, or the fancy Of the
planter may dictate. Ten to fifteen feet
in the rows, rows twenty-eight eet apart
is satisfactory. By the time bali Of the
trees should be cut out they have paid
the entire expense of the orchard and
have afforded a profit, and the remain.
ing trees are in better condition than il
they had occupied the whole ground
from the first planting.
