Horticulture

Mcintosh has only one bad fault-it
drops its fruit considerably before the
final ripening period. Perhaps that
can be prevented to some extent by
more severe thinning in the early part
of the season. 1t is properly classed
as an early winter variety"
| had noticed this tendency to drop
badly in my own orchards, but thought
that this might be on account of its
early ripening, and that perhaps this
might not be the case in higher and
colder attitudes. This tendency to
drop is a serious objection to any
apple unless we can devise some way
to prevent it. The one suggested by
friend Cass may work, but L have my
serious doubts about heavy thinning
acting as a preventative. Grimes
Golden has this dropping tendency
with me and thinning does not seem
to do any good. The cause of such
dropping seems to be inherent with
some varieties. Can it be prevented?
| do not know.

ton of some is to plant only the per-
feet Towering varieties, but do not
believe this is good advice for this
reason: Many of the best strawberries
grown and the most prolific are
pistilate varieties. Here is where the
skill of the grower has come in with
good results. 1t has been found by
actual experience that if perfect
Towering plants are grown within six
to ten feet of these pistilate varieties
they will bear enormously. l have
had large experience in growing
these imperfect Towering varieties
and we're | going into the strawberry
business on commercial scale, | could
not be induced to reject the pistilate
varieties. l have found by actual
experience that where my strawberry
rows are three or three and a half
feet apart ami every third or fourth
row is perfect towering variety, |
can grow almost double as many
berries as I could grow with only the
perfect blooming varieties alone. Now
there may be exceptions to what l
have stated but this will bold as a
general rule. 1t would seem that
these pistilate varieties, by reason of
not producing any pollen, have reserv-
ed their strength for other work when
pollen comes from other plants. The
wind and insects carry the pollen
from the perfect to the imperfect
flowers.
There is much diversity of opinion

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.

| have been urged by some OF the
patrons of The Ranch to write some
thing on strawberry culture. On ac-
count OF the many inquiries pertain
ing to the tree fruits the subject OF
berry culture and strawberries in par
ticular may have been overlooked to
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-04-01

berry culture OF any kind, only to
limited extent. This has not Always
been so with me. Thirty years ago
was engaged in raising strawberries
and raspberries as a side issue and
frequently wrote on such matters. At
that time wrote a small book entitl-
! ed 1.-The Small Fruit Guide" and it
was sold to quite an extent. 1t is
out OF print now and is not likely to
be republished.
The first point in considering the
raising of strawberries is the location
and the kind of soil needed. Fort
unately this delicious fruit can be
grown almost anywhere. In very cold
regions the vines can be covered in
the winter time by using straw or any
kind of rubbish that will shade the
ground and prevent frequent freezing
and thawing No rubbish should be
used that would scatter weed seeds.
The soil should be moderately rich,
but not excessively so. An over sup
ply of heterogeneous matter will make
very rank vines but will not tend to
fruitfulness. Potash Is an essential
element in strawb berry growing. Back
in Iowa we were accustomed to say
that good corn land would make good
strawberry land. No special kind Of
fertilizers is needed for the produc-
lti r. Inc
going to buy any commercial ferti
lizers would get what is called a
"balanced ration consisting of nj
trates, potash and phosphorus.
Remember that the strawberry is in
digenous to both North and South
America and is sat home" in nearly
all this country. The best strains of
the strawberry have been produced by
crossing the native strawberry of
North America (Fragaria Virginia)
with the South American strawberry
(Fragaria Grandiflora or F. Chiloen-
Sis. There is European variety
(Fragaria Vesca) and an Indi ian variety
IF. lndica). The last named grows
in southern India, has a yellow bios
som and bears all summer and autumn.
One of the things that every success
full strawberry grower must know is
the difference between the perfect
and imperfect flowers. Some varieties
produce both pistils and stamens on
the same flower and such are called
perfect flowers known as
hermaphrodite flowers. This word is
defined by Webster as Gan animal or
plant having the characteristics of
both sexes" Now if your plants have
perfect flowers they will bear without
being fertilized by another variety
near by. II the flowers are imperfect
they have pistils and no stamens and
will not bear at all, unless fertilized
by another variety. They will bloom
abundantly, but the fruit will not de-
velop but will be very small and
knotty and worthless. All strawberry
plants have pistils but have no stamens
or so few that the blooms are not
properly fertilized. The pistils are
called by our botanists the female
parts of the plants, while the stamens
are called the male parts. The
stamens produce the pollen and if this
does not come in contact with the

Do You
Known

that it takes a great deal OF
science and skill to produce the
kind of trees that will make the
best growth and give the best
satisfaction?
Many people imagine that with
a good location one has only to
plant the tree in the Spring and
dig it up in the Fall. This may
do for same, but not with us.
We took particular pains to
secure the best location here in
the Yakima Valley, where the
soil is exceedingly rich and well
drained, and where the growing
season is long.
By our constant cultivation
during the growing season, and
otherwise assisting Nature when
ever possible, we turn out fine,
stocky tree with splendid lot of
healthy, fiberous roots, unsur-
passed anywhere.
A good root system is the
foundation of tree, and without
this good root system you cannot
secure the best results.
If you intend to plant now or
next season. write for our cata-
log. 1t will save you money.

as to whether we should grow our
plants in the matted row or the hill
system. IT we want the very largest
berries, the single hill system is the
best, but by the matted row system
we can get more berries and at less
cost. When was raising strawberries
commercially, thirty years ago, I pre-
ferred the matted row system, but if
I were in the business now l might
change.
Another point may be raised and
that is as to whether it is best to set
strawberry plants in the fall or in the
spring. After trying both methods
in Iowa, | discarded fall setting and
planted only in the spring. Under

PENSION INCREASE
BILL IN LEFT OVERS
Sulloway Measure Not to
Become a Law at This
Session of Congress.

The SulIoway pension bill, providing
for an increase in the pension now be-
ing paid to old soldiers of something
like $4,000, ,0O0 Is one Of the important
bills which has failed in the last days
of this Congress.
1t went through the House with a
good majority, but in the Senate 1t
was stacked up against strong oppos!-
ton. In fact there were reasons ad-
vanced early in the session to the el-
feet that the big increase should not
and could not go through.
With these things against 1t, the bill
languished on the Senate calendar for
weeks, and at last was called up when
the Senate was considering the gen.
eral pensions bill. An effort was made
forthwith to attach 1t as an amendment
to the general bill.
This was. of course, new legislation,
and was, therefore, subject to a point
of order. This point was made by Sem
ator Lodge of Massachusetts, after
Senator Curtis had urge its passage in
strong terms.
Vice President Sherman sustained
Senator Lodge, and the measure was
lost. With that action no further hope
was entertained for its consideration.

Hit With Brick By Negro
Thrown Off Street Car

Bernard Rover, twenty-eight years, of
21 I street northwest, Is suffering today
from a dep cut on the head as the re-
suit of being struck with brick thrown
by a negro following small race riot
on a North Capitol street car last night.
Three negroes boarded the car, and,
according to the conductor, Roy Hutch
inson refused to pay their fare. The
men had apparently been drinking. At
the corner of Massachusetts, avenue
Hutchinson put one of them OFF. The
other two attacked the conductor, but
were unceremoniously thrown off with
the assistance of some OF the passen-
gers.
Picking up a brick, one Of the negroes
hurled II through a window of the car,
striking Rover on the head.
