"A few years ago, this question, with
many other vital orchard problems,
was not thoroughly understood. We
knew, though, that If we planted vari-
cites in solid blocks we usually got
poor crops. After many years of fail
ure, orchardists began putting other
varieties in their orchards, and it was
found that the trees in the immediate
vicinity of the new variety unexpected
~ became productive. In any solid
block, if few trees were top-worked
to another variety, the trees adjoining
the top-worked ones began to bear
fruit. In that way the problem was
gradually solved. They will not bear
fruit If planted alone.
There is no rule for this A variety
is self-fertile in one district and SELF
sterile in another. There is only one
rule we can follow. and that is, never
plant one variety alone. do not care
what variety it is, I would not plant it
in block alone. That is the only
safe advice we can give YOU"

How Pear Trees PoIIenize.

Cashmere: 81 am a new conner in
this country, and before coming West
owned in the East an orchard of Kief-
fer pears planted in solid blocks, which
was very unproductive. In fact, we
got not nearly enough fruit to make it
a paying orchard. I presume that this
question of 'inter-pollenization of fruit
applies in the West, but l would like
a little advice on the subject before
