The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-12-01
Pediqreed Trees and Plants

There is a movement on foot to
secure the best strains of our various
fruits to be propagated by nurserymen
and to accomplish this end an
organization to be known as the
American Plant Register Association
has been formed at Sunnyside, Wash
ington. The purpose is to enlist
nurserymen and fruit growers to as
large extent as possible to further
the aims of this organization. 1t is
claimed by the prom oters of this
scheme that if nurserymen will thus
oragnize and make the best selections
to be found of the various kinds of
fruits and register them and carefully
preserve the selected fruits so that
the plants will not get mixed up with
inferior types it will be of great
benefit TIC those who purchase such
stock. H. M. Lichty of Sunnyside is
one of the prime movers and the chief
promoter of this movement. He has
spent much time and means in visit
ing the best fruit growing sections IN
the great Northwest including British
Columbia, to work up an interest In

cultural editor or Inc hanCn ana We
spent several hours in canvassing the
field under consideration. | have
known Mr.. Lichty quite we'll for the
past twelve years and regard him as
an honest and conscientious man who
is too good to stoop to any trickery
merely to secure a commercial gain.
There are many fads abroad that are
worked frequently for money making
end regardless of the merits in them.
Lichty would do any thing of the
kind. There may be some things
aimed at that cannot be secured
there may be the wrong use of term
as | shall point out later, but the
purpose aimed at is a worthy one as
1t is my honest conviction while. not
coGceding all that is claimed and
sought, that much good will be &C,
complished.
Any one who has had much to do
in fruit growing knows that serious
mistakes are made in furnishing
nursery stock and many times the
damage is very great. When a man
buys trees under given name and
waits two, three or even five Or SIX
years and then finds they are not true
to name and sometimes absolutely
worthless, he must be good Christian
if he does not feel like cussing. These
mistakes will occur without any dis
honest purpose on the part of nuI sery
men. The scions may be cut from
the wrong tree, the label put on them
may be the wrong one, i'm tying up
the CRAFTS they may be labelled wrong,
when the CRAFTS are set in the nursery
row the wrong stake may be set there,
and when the trees are dug and tied
up in bundles in the nursery the wrong
label may be put on or the label may
be lost or get exchanged in shipping.
None of these mistakes ought to occur
and some of them are not apt to occur
but any one of them may occur with
out any dishonest intent. Mr.. LichtY
and others associated with him in his
enterprise have worked out plan to
avoid these mistakes. He has told
me about the plan and while it is
too elaborate to be fully presented
here, am confident that it is in a
high degree meritorious. 1t may not
do all that they hope it will in doing
away with mistakes, for they will
still have to employ fallible men, yet
it is the best thing of the kind | have
ever met with.
One of the good things aimed at in
this scheme is the selection of the
best types of fruit. Any one who is
in the apple business for instance,
knows that there will be strains of the
same apple much better than other
strains of the same variety. All
Spitzenburgs are not alike, all Wine
saps are not alike and the same may
be said of most of our leading varieties.
Now these variations are not the re-
suit of cross breeding for no hybrid
izing has taken place. Just what
causes these variations we do not know,
all that we really know is that they
exist. We are not able in most cases
to produce such changes. They are

simply sports. Let US here quote a
very significant passage from Gray's
Elements of Botany, page ITO:
''Races, in fact, can hardly, it at all,
be said to exist Independently of
man. But man does not really pro-
duce them. Such peculiarities often
surprising enough now and then
originate, we know not how the plant
sports, as the gardeners say; they are
only preserved, propagated, and
generally further developed, by the
cultivator' skillfrll care. If left alone,
they are very likely to dwindle and
perish, or else revert to the original
form of the species. Vegetable races
are commonly ANIMALS, which can be
kept up only by seeds, or herbs of
which succession of generations can
be had every year or two, and so the
education by selection be completed
without great lapse Ct time. But all
fruit-trees could probably be fixed into
races in an equal number of genera
tions. Bud-varieties are those which
spring from buds instead of seed.
They are uncommon to any marked
extent. They are sometimes called
Sports, but this name is equally ap-
piled to variations among seedlings. -
These sports play an important part
in the differences in the same apple.
For instance, the Esopus Spitzenburg
originated more than a century ago
at Esopus, Ulster county, New York.
1t was probably chance Seeding for
the name of the originator is not
preserved. 1t has been widely scatter
ed over the United States, Canada and
parts of Europe and is the standard
of excellence of the Baldwin class of
apples. During this period of more
than hundred years this apple has
sported, SO to speak. till now there
are three or four types of it. We find
the long pointed Spitzenburg and the
fat one, with some other variation
but these two are the chief ones. No
one seems to know just when these
sports occurred and no well-informed
man will claim that he can produce
the one type from another. All we
can do now is to select the type that
is preferred by the trade. The pointed
one is preferred by the trade to the
fat shaped one. The difference in
color which is sometimes very marked,
may not be the result of sporting but
is caused by climatic conditions. 1t
is not what is in the ground either
but rather what is overhead. Even
the surrounding hills by rejecting
the sunshine and thus intensifying
the light and heat may greatly help
in this matter of coloring. The man
who thinks that he can take scions
from the the Spitzenburg trees in
those localities where the color is so
superb and grow them under entirely
different conditions and reproduce
the color Of the most favorable local
tiles, will find out his mistake. The
color secured with red apples and to
some extent the yellow ones, where
cloudless skies prevail can not be
duplicated where fogs hang over the
orchards during a considerable por-
ton of the summer time or where
clouds take the place of constant sun

YOUR


Every man starting an orchard
has in mind the profit he expects to
make out of it.
He pays a good price for good
land in favored spot and spares no
reasonable expense to prepare the
ground and plan his orchard.
When he is ready for his trees, he
often has $500 to $3.50 per acre in
the land alone.
He decides on the number of trees
to the acre, figures with the nur-
seryman or tree dealer and then
very often buys the cheapest trees
he can find, regardless of quality.
He may have saved one to three
cents tree on the purchase price,
but lost a seasons growth on half
his planting.
When YOU'VE put 5000 to $3.50
per acre in raw land, don't try to
save dollar or SO per acre on the
very thing that makes the money
the trees the expense of several
years crop.
1t costs money to grow nursery
trees right and to give the customer
a square deal.
Buy our trees on merit, not on
price.
