CALLUSING.

b. K. Bush, Bay Center, WASH,
writes:
"In the current issue of The Ranch
you speak of slip propagation OF
gooseberries and speak of care in
having them "calloused' 1 do not
know what is callousing as applied
to such so would be glad to be told,
and how to do it,
there are two forms of spelling the
word; viz, callus and callous, and
both forms are sanctioned by Webster.
Horticulturists usually employ the
shorter form. L. HI. Bailey in his
Nursery Book defines the word as
follows: "The mass of reparative or
healing tissue which forms over a
wound On page 80 of this book he
SAYS: "Wounds upon plants begin
to heal by the formation OF loose,
cellular matter which give rise to a
mass of tissue known as a callus.
This tissue eventually covers the
entire wound, if complete healing
results. AS rule the first apparent
change in a cutting is the formation
of callus upon the lower end. 1t
is disputed question whether this
callus is an absolutely necessary
prerequisite to the formation OF roots
or merely a coincident. The idea
once prevailed among nurserymen
that roots sprang from the callus but
it is now known that this position is
incorrect. Bailey says on page DO OF
the book already quoted: But roots
do not arise from the callus itself,
but from the internal tissue and in
many plants they appear to bear no
relation to the callus in position. -
This much, however, is definitely
known, that if cuttings are already
callused when they are set out the
roots will Immediately start If the

box will be made warm while the top
is kept reasonably cool this bottom
heat will do the work.
There is another way to apply this
"bottom heat" when it is not applied
at the bottom but at the top and that
is to make loose bed of earth and
bury the cuttings in this, top end
down. Cover the butt end Of the
cuttings about two inches deep with
fine earth or pure sand. This must
be done in the spring. The sun shin
ing on these inverted cuttings will
heat the butt ends and in month or
more these cuttings will be we'll callus-
ed when they may be taken up and
set out and they will soon produce
roots at the lower ends and shoots and
leaves at the top ends and by fall will
be good plants ready to set out the
next spring. Almost any one can do
this kind of callusing. These cut
tings should be made in the fall and
kept over the winter in good cellar
where they will not get too warm or
dry out. If this callusing is properly
made great many kinds OF plants
can be made to grow when they would
not grow at all or very 1ndlfferently
if set out In the spring without being
SO treated. I trust that l have made
this matter plain to Mr.. Bush and all
others interested in such work.

weather conditions are favorable.
Bailey says: "Yet. as a matter of
practice, best results are obtained
from callused cuttings, particularly
if the cuttings are made from mature
wood. " So we'll known is this fact
that many nurserymen carry on the
work of callusing their cuttings be-
fore they are planted out in the
nursery. They also in some cases
sell callused cuttings to those who
are starting in the nursery business.
Just twenty years ago this spring
when we were starting small nursery,
we bought 5000 callused Mariana
plum cuttings from Stark Bros. and
planted them in our nursery and so
far as we know every one of them
grew without delay and made fine
stocks upon which to bud prunes the
following fall. Had we planted those
cuttings without their being callus-
ed, there is no doubt but they would
have been much delayed in starting
to grow and many of them might not
have grown at all. | think from what
has been presented, our readers can see
why I recommended the callusing of
cuttings.
MIR. Bush raises another important
question and that is, "How is this
callusing done" AS general answer
we may say by applying "bottom
heat. - This expression may be mis-
leading for it often happens that
bottom heat may be applied at the
top. We may ask bottom OF what?
The box or any other receptacle con-
tanning the cuttings? No, it means
the bottom of the cuttings. Here we
want to be reminded of a somewhat
singular fact and that is that roots
can be made to grow only from the
butt end of cuttings. If cuttings are
planted wrong end up the roots will
still grow on the butt end though it
may be the top end as the cuttings
stand. Bailey in his Nursery Book
says on page 81: ''lt is a singular
fact that the lower end OF the cuttings,
as 1t stood on the parent plant, pro-
duces roots and the upper end pro-
duces leaves and shoots, even il the
cutting is inverted" Knowing
this we must apply the heat to that
part of the cuttings that will produce
roots regardless of how the cuttings
stand. There are at least two ways
to do this. One is to put the cuttings
in box with the butt ends at the
bottom of the box and then fill up the
box with dirt. This box may be
placed over a heated pipe in the
green house or may be set on a hot
bed while fermentation is going on.
In, any way that the bottom of this

CROSS POLLINA ALTON.

E. S. Higgins, Grandview, WASH,
writes:
"Being a subscriber to The Ranch
I have a question [ wish to ask which
can be answered through the paper:
In planting apples by the equilateral
plan and putting one variety in the
center and different varieties around
as pollenizers. say for instance, Rome
Beauty in the center, with Spitzen-
burg, Winesap and Jonathan around,
does it improve the flavor of the apple
more than if it is pollenized by itself?
Or does it have any effect upon the
flavorsin any way? Was the subject
ever brought up in any way for
test?"

sent his inquiry practically In his
own way. The question boiled down
amounts to this: Does cross pollina-
ton in apples effect the flavor! Just
how the trees may be arranged In

the question. My answer is that
cross pollination neither effects the
flavor nor the color of the fruit. To
get the effect we must plant the seed
and raise apples from the new trees.
NV understanding is that the con-
census of opinion among horticultur-
lists is very decidedly with the posi-
ton I have stated. Some one may
want to ask: ''Then why secure cross
pollination at all if it does not i'm
prove the apples?' The answer to
this is, cross pollination greatly in
creases the quantity of the apples and
this is so because some varieties OF
apples are to some extent self-sterile.
The same is true of some varieties OF
pears. This is not guess work but
has actually been demonstrated by
the Experiment Stations. | have a
