FRUIT CROP FAILURES.
Causes Of the Dropping of Young
Eruit From Trees. Etc.

from Tie hhtladelp1ia hec 1r1-
The causes which prevent fruit trees
from bearing are many, and yet the
grower may not be aware Of the parti-
euIar cause OF failure to have bearing
trees during apparently favorable years.
Mr.. ). w. Fletcher, OF Cornell Univer-
sity, who has investigated such failures,
recently gave bis views before the Pen
insular Horticultural Society at Sails
bury, Md, on the influences which de-
crease the setting Of fruit TIE thing
which concerns fruit growers at pres
ent IS why trees which bloom full do
not set = reasonable amount Of lhlit.
Ordinarily bat a small proportion Of
the blossoms set fruit, perhaps only Que
blossom in eight, yet such would be
considered q good crop, for if all bios
SONS set fruit it would be necessary to
90 considerable thinning to prevent
breaking down OF the trees Some Of
the causes Of trees dropping their fruit
are excessive vegetative vigor, unfayJr-
able weather previous % and during
the blooming season aud self sterility.
Every observing fruit grower has
noticed that young trees generally set
little or no fruit the first few years,
when they are growing fast, though
they may have abundant blossoms.
This is peculiar in some varieties more
than with others. The Northern spy
apple may have this propensity for ten
years or more, but with the most va
rieties the dropping Of the fruit con-
t;nues only two OF three years, but
Older trees will show the same result if
stimulated 10 a very vigorous growth.
Many fruit growers confuse this with
self-sterility, but the two result from
wholly different causes.
