HORTICULTURE
BY F. WALDEN

Under date of July 2, B. w. Ches-
nut, of Seattle, asks the following
questions Through the columns of
your paper will you inform me as to
what varieties of seed of the apple,
cherry, peach and pear are best
adapted to growing for stocks for
grating purposes; also the time and
method of planting?"
We have here introduced a very
large and a very important subject.
No attempt will be made to give an
exhaustive answer but few plain
facts will be stated and some direc-
tions be given for carrying them out.
The first thing to be done is to gather
the seeds. A common custom in this
country is to take apple seeds from
the pummace at the cider mills This
is done by washing out all the refuse
but the seeds. Many of our best horti-
culturists condemn this practice. One
thing must be borne in mind in this
connection and that is that the alb
normal development of fruits or
flowers tend to sterility. Some of our
finest apples like the Bellflower and
Grimes Golden produce very few seeds
that will grow. The development of
the pericarp, which is what we call
the fruit, is done at the expense of
the seed. Sometimes no seed at all
will grow from the highest developed
apples. The nearer we get back to
the native types such as we find in
wild apples, the better the seed. Such
apples as the Little Red Romantic
and the Milan produce far better
seeds than the highly developed types.
In Europe the custom has prevailed
of getting all apple, pear and cherry
seeds from the trees growing wild In
the mountains. These seedlings are
so much more vigorous than those
grown on our highly developed types
that hundreds of tons of such seeds
are imported and used to the eXclu-
sion of what we have here at home.
Much cider press seed is used, but
great care must be exercised to see
that it is not damaged by the press
and that it will grow vigorously.
+
What is said of apple seed will ap-
ply to pear seed. 1t has been the
custom to import pear seed for the
same reason that apple seed was i'm
ported. Of course, no pear seed can
be secured from the cider mill pun
NN~AA
be secured from canning factories, but
it will not all grow, or growing, will
not always make strong healthy seed
lings. Pear sprouts can often be used
as stocks and usually do well.
+
1t will not be a good plan to plant
the seeds of such cherries as the
Royal Ann, Bing, Lambert, etc. These
are called the prunus avium or sweet
cherries Many of the seeds will not
grow. The sour cherries (prunus
cerasus), are more likely to produce
seed that will grow, but they are OBJ
iectionable on account of sprouting.
The usual custom is to import the
seed of the Mazzard and Mahaleb
cherries from France, or, instead OF
importing the seed the stocks are
very commonly imported. These are
wild cherries in France. or at least
are not developed and they do not
sprout. Some of our leading hortll-
turists have recommended the grow

To Try ~RIack Handv Assassi

New Orleans, La, July 15.-Six Ital
ian members of the BLACK Hand" So
ciety, four men and two women, charg
ed with the kidnapping and murder of
Swear old Walter Lamana, will be Civ
en- a speedy trial this week at Hahn
vile, the seat of st. Charles parish.
The cases will probably be taken up
Thursday, and the accused assassins
tried separately. Now that prompt JUS
tice is likely to be meted out to con
spirators, public sentiment against
the prisoners has subsidized and there
is not likely to be any attempt at mob
violence. The accused Italians will
be kept in the New Orleans parish pri
son until the date of the trial.
People in the vicinity of Hannville
are anxious that capital punishment
be inflicted upon the women as well
as the men. 1t is alleged that both
Nicolina Gebbia and the Campigci-
ano woman knew of the plot to kid
nap the boy, knew that he was being
kept in the shanty of the latter's hus-
band near st. Rose and that he was
to be murdered, yet lifted not a hand
nor breathed a word to ave the life
of the innocent child.
