This is an important matter with up

are not true to name. The nursery
man from whom the trees were
bought, or one of his hands, may
have made a mistake. 1t is a great
disappointment to find that tree
we have planted for certain kind
is something entirely different. The
first impulse, if the apple is worth
less, is to dig up such trees, root
and branch, to give the nurseryman
a blessing with some forbidden words
mixed in, and then to plant new trees.
Don't do that. If the trees are good

are vigorous, top work them and if

Whenever the scion dries out this will

O~NN'
your recent articles raise another
question in my mind, viz: In view
of the seeming fact that no other
apple tree equals the Ben Davis in
growth or productiveness, would it
be a safe thing to plant Ben Davis
trees in this proposed new orchard,
with a view to top working them
when. say. four to six years old, or
any other age, the idea being to get
the growth and vitality of the Ben
Davis. with some better variety of
fruit? Several of the catalogues
speak of Stayman's Winesap as being
more desirable in nearly every way
than the ordinary Winesap. What
say your"
Friend Scott raises a new question
to me and I judge that it is new
to fruit growers generally. 1t has
been the custom in cold countries to
plant some hardy variety of apple
as a stock on which to work the
tender varieties. The Duchess of
Oldenburg, the red Astrachan and
the Hass are the varieties commonly
used for such hardy stocks. 1t has
been successfully demonstrated that
tender varieties, like the Jonathan
Grimes Golden and the Winesap, top
worked on these hardy stocks, do far
better than where they are grown in
the nursery in the usual way. This
kind of top-workng has passed the
experimental stage. Then we top
work trees in order to change the
variety. as friend Scott proposes to
do with his Ben Davis. In our eli
mate here in washington all the
common varieties of the apple are
hardy enough and top working with
that idea before us is not needed.
Now, to grow stocks with the idea of
getting more vigor into the top
worked part, without any reference
to hardness, presents a new prob
lem. have no experience along that
line and do not know of any one who
has. All I can do is to conjecture
and Mr.. Scott can do that as we'll
as I can. 1t seems to me If l were
in Mr.. SCOTS place, I would top-work
the Ben Davis that I now have and
then set Jonathan, Rome Beauty,
Winesap and Arkansas Black as they
come from the nursery with no idea
of working them. I am in doubt
if it would pay to grow Ben Davis
for five Or six years with the especial
idea in view of top-working them.
Then there is another side to this
question: I doubt if Ben Davis is
any better stock than the Northern
Spv. the three named above, and the
Wolf River and many other vigorous
growers The best results l ever
saw in top-working the Spitzenbere
we're where the Man apple was used

in the following queries: Il would
very much appreciate your opinion,
through the horticultural department
of your paper, of the following nst
of apples for a commercial orchard:
Gano, Winter Banana, and Spitzen-
berg Esopus. l note that in Spokane
papers, under heading OF wholesale
produce prices, Spitzenbergs are
quoted at $1.50 and common apples
at 75c0100 per box, these being the
only quotations given. Why is this!
Are the Spitzenbergs the only top
notchers in this market? Do they
require better soil and are they more
difficult to grow than other varie-
ties? | am located in the northern
part of Stevens county, on the west
hank of the Columbia river, at an
elevation of about 1900 feet above
the sea level and about ESQ feet
above the level of the river on large
bench. We have good soil, well
drained and are much more immune
from frost than many districts much
further south l shall plant COM
mercial orchard and am anxious to
make as few mistakes as possible.
In answer to friend Peterson's in
auiries, l would recommend him TO
carefully read what is said by the
editor of this department in the Issue
of Dec. Is, 1904. There he will get
nv opinion of the Spitzenberg, the
Winter Banana and the Gano. 1t
would be difficult for me to add any
valuable information to what is there
given. A commercial orchard made
I'D of these three apples would, In
my Judgment, be very disappointing.
The Spitzenberg may bear well In
Mr.. Peterson's locality, but in my
mind it is very doubtful if it would
pay nearly so we'll as the Jonathan,
Rome Beauty and Winesap. Neither
of these will sell as high uniformly
as the Esopus, but they bear young,
bear every year and with me and in
my neighborhood, pay far better In
the long run than the well known
Spitz. | should think that the loca-
ton described by friend Peterson
would be a good one for apple rails
ing. provided there is moisture
enough in the soil from the annual
rainfall, or he can supply the deh-
cheney, if it exists, by irrigation. II
the rainfall is light and irrigation can
not be practiced then he will have
to keep up a constant cultivation
during the summer, not merely to
kill weeds, but to keep the surface
pulyerized so as to conserve mols-
ture. A man who has no other idea
of cultivating the soil than to Kill
weeds has much to learn In the
benefits derived from soil cultiVa-
ton.
