Bearing Trees for Propagation.

Writing on the reasons why nur-
seryment should propagate only from
Ipearing trees of proved fruiting ca
'paclty, Mr.. r. M. Kellogg of Three
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1903-02-15

Rivers, Mich, says that careful
study of a bud will show that the OBJ
lection to propagating through a long
series of years from young and I'M
tested buds from nursery rows is well
founded. A bud contains the life
germ and perfect embryo tree pos
sessing the same vascular system OF
the tree or plant upon which it grows,
and before modern investigation prov
ed the contrary, it was thought no
variation ever took place.
We now know that tree changes
its organism and becomes weak in
some parts, and that, when these
changes are effected, they are as per-
manent as any of it's characteristics.
When tree becomes unfruitful, its
fruit producing or seed organism is
weak in it's buds, and the tree growing
out of these buds will possess these
weaknesses, as repeated experiments
have shown.
Take buds from well-developed
and very fruitful tree and another
from the nursery row, where it has
been propagated through dozen
or more years from the young non
bearing wood. In the first case you
will see a marked difference in the
wood growth.
The tree will not look so smooth
and straight as the other, but under
good treatment it will come into bear
ing much earlier and be much more
fruitful afterwards. The second tree
will grow smooth and straight and will
look much nicer, but it's growth will
be wood until late in it's life, or until
something is done to bring it into
bearing.
Many nurserymen have experiment
ed and proven the correctness of the
principle, but people want cheap,
large, straight, smooth-barked trees,
and insist on having them, and are so
grounded in prejudice that sales can
not be effected at price which will
justify the additional expense of main
tanning an orchard under conditions
to furnish the well-developed gratis.
So long as the man who furnishes
the big, smooth tree at the smallest
price gets the order, there is no in
ducement to make the change. The
change, however, is coming, and in
the not distant future every nursery
man will have to give evidence that
his trees are not all wood, but that
they have fruit producing organism
developed in them, so we shall not
have to wait ten years longer than
necessary, in order that we may get
return. for labor and care.
