For Exhibition Fruit.

Prof. F. w. Taylor, chief of the de
partment of horticulture, at the com
ing worlds fair at st. Louis, sends
out the following advice regarding the
growing and preparation of fruit for
exhibition at that exposition: 1t is
important that fruit growers every.
where begin at once to prepare to
grow fruit for exhibit purposes. SUI.
ficient plant food should be supplied
to enable the trees to bear perfect
specimens and this should be fol.
lowed throughout the season with
the most thorough cultivation. Thor.
ough cultivation will hold the mois.
ture in the soil which will be avail.
able for the use of the trees and
plants in development of perfect speci.
mems of fruits. The thinning of fruit
should not be neglected. This is an
important consideration where it Is
desired to grow perfect specimens. In
doing this work 1t is advisable to
leave only such specimens as prom.
Use to be large and perfect and also
those that are not shaded by foliage.
States that are planning to exhibit
must have a sufficient quantity Of fruit
in cold storage, so that the space al.
lotted to them will be entirely Gov.
cred at the time of the opening Of
the exposition, and in order that they
may have a sufficient quantity in re.
serve in storage to keep the space
covered until the 1904 crop of fruit
is available.
A, circular on cold storage Of fruits
will be sent out from the department
of horticulture in good season giving
the latest information obtainable con.
corning that subject.

Eject Of Stock on Scion.

For many years q fierce contro
versy has been going on as to the
effect Of stock on scion. It has gener.
ally been assumed that the thing
grated on another would retain all
the characteristics it had when q
seedlings. Facts now point. strong
ly the other way, and evidence is &C.
cumulating in favor Of the very de.
cided influence of the stock on the
product Of the scion. Not long ago q
congress of French horticulturists
took up and discussed the matter. The
work Of 67 experimenters was re-
viewed. One man had grated La
France, a very double rose, on Pan
achee d'Orleans, semi-double rose.
As result the roses grown on the
grated branch were semi-double, like
those on the other branches of the
stock. The same man grated a large
red tomato on an eggplant having
long violet fruits. The resulting to.
matoes changed their shape entirely,
and took on an elongated form like
that OF the eggplant fruit. A round
pear was grated on a spindle-shaped
pear, and the resulting fruit was
spindle-shaped. Some of the expert
mentors claimed to have produced en-.
tirely new fruits by grating. "A
Sylphide rose budded on Homere gave
! stems with fewer thorns than either
parent, leaves intermediate in size
and blooms intermediate in size and
color. Like results were obtained
with other, varieties of roses, Bel.

ing and that these. can be fixed in
their characteristics and propagated
true to kind. Two potatoes were
grated together and produced a va
riety known as Edouard Lefort. II
reproduces itself true to kind. A
tender sort Of Kohlrabi was grated
on a hardy form of cabbage and pro
duced a forage cabbage. This proved
very hardy, and was midway in form
between the two. These characters
tics were transmitted through the
seed and became permanent threaten
from seed. In spite of these exam
pies, however, the opinion of the con
gress seemed to be- that naturalization
of this class is not very common
though It does occur. AS q genera
thing also the forms thus obtained
are not often constant in character
1t appears certain that the accepta
ton of the idea of the greater influ
ence of stock on scions, enormousl,
increases the problems connecte
with the propagation of our know
varieties.
