Variation in Seedlings.

Fruit trees from seed vary enor-
mously and the higher the develop
ment the greater the variation, says
an exchange. The ones that have not
been developed at all produce seed
that to a considerable extent give
trees having some uniformity of shape
and fruit. But even then no two are
exactly alike. Variation is practically
universal. More than this, if thou
sand seeds are planted and a thousand
trees grown from them, even the fruit
on all the trees will differ from every
other tree. If any one fruit proves
to be exceptionally good. it can be
propagated only by grating or bud
ding. 1t cannot be propagated by
planting the seed from it's fruit. The
work of man through planting of seeds
has not been very greatly successful.
Millions and millions of seeds have
been planted and a few good trees and
varieties have been obtained from
them; but, for the most part, we have
stumbled onto the varieties that have
proved to be the most valuable. A
good many of the fruits that are to-
day regarded as standard have been
stumbled on by accident and many of
them are of unknown origin. Chance
has played a large part in the devel-
opment of our fruits and berries, but
man has selected the best and has
propagated them by grating and bud
ding.
Without doubt nature has been pro-
ducing fine varieties for myriads of
years. but man was not near to find
them and take advantage of the work
that nature was doing. Here and there
a seeding grew into a tree bearing re-
markable fruit; but in time the tree
died and the seeds of the fruit either
never succeeded in producing trees at
all or produced only such as were of
no more value than the general an
cestry.
1t is not, however best to ask ma
ture to do all the work. Horticultur-
lists can keep a lookout for the sports
that may come from natures work
but man himself may take a hand in
the game with some chances of sue
cess. In addition to planting seeds and
testing the seedlings, man can cross
hardy varieties with those of high
quality and now and then get a result
that will prove valuable.
At the present time a good deal OF
this latter work is being done with the
hope of getting varieties that viii re-

Locating the Peach Orchard.

In spite of the disastrous experiences
by peach growers during the last five
years, peach orchards are being plant
ed in considerable numbers and on
large areas. This is a wise thing to
do, as a big crop now and then helps
to average up the lean years and the
years when the freezes destroy large
areas of peach orchards. Gradually
localities are being found in most of
our states where the disasters come
rarely and where crops of peaches are
common, says an exchange.
Soil for peach orchards may be of
almost any character, except swampy.
Wherever situated it should contain
enough sand to permit of a sort of
natural drainage about the roots.
Where there is a hard compact clay
beneath, peach trees should not be
planted, as the roots of the trees find
it difficult or impossible to penetrate
it, and are compelled to feed only in
the surface soil. When the water in
the surface soil is gone, the roots are
exposed to the drought. When they
go into winter in this condition they
are more easily affected by the cold.
1t is now believed that moisture in
the soil has a very important infiu-
SHC6 III OTlilSulS Trees through severe
winters unframed. teIn addition, where
there is a hard anrthat will hold wa
ter, some of the trees will most likely
be set in basins that will keep their
roots immersed for weeks during the
wet weather. This often results in the
destruction of the tree, as the roots of
peach trees must have air as we'll as
water to enable them to grow. The
texture of the aubsoil has much to do
with the success of the peach orchard.
1t must not be so impervious to wa
ter as to hold it for long periods. and
1t must not be so porous as to permit
it to leach away too rapidly. The
soil should be loose enough to permit
the passage of water, but must be
close enough to keep the law of capil-
larry attraction in operation. A good
peach soil is neither too rich nor too
poor. A too rich soil gives wood
growth at the expense of fruit.
