 Same On Peaches.
 Similar results are expected in Con-
 necticut peach orchards as a result
 of work on peaches that has been done
 in the Hale orchards at Seymour and
 South Glastonbury. The agricultural department now has three years rec ords of selected peach trees in those
 orchards, which records show a con-
 sistent individual variation in different
 trees as to the quantity and grade of
 their fruit. It is understood that these
 records will form the basis. of great improvement in Connecticut peach
 orchards through selection in bud
 ding.
 Baldwin Crop Every Year. The new system of improving trees or other plants is wonderful It is
 similar to breeding fine livestock Bald
 win apple trees are known as alter
 nate croppers; tthat is, they are apt to produce good crops only once every two years Expert Shamel says that
 he has seen some Baldwin trees in Connecticut which. In a so-called off year for the Baldwin crop, were sfully laden with fruit. By breeding from
 such trees as these Mir. Samuel be- lieyes that the alternate cropping l habit of the Baldwin variety can be
 reduced to minimum and most of l the trees made to bear full crops every year. The possibilities in this discovery with reference to apples and peaches are tremendous. Along the line of this discovery, MT. Shamel said recently:
 ] Tn the Hale peach orchard at South Glastonbury we have secured three
 seasons performance records of foul petch varieties having the alternate habit of production. In these vari- cites our records show that not only did the fruitful peach trees bear large l fine crops in the of season, but also i in the following general bearing sea- l son these fruitful type trees produced the largest and best crops in our foul performance record plots, without ex- ception. There is absolutely no expla- nation for this condition aside from bud variation and hereditary fruit
 bearing habits. May it not be possible 1 that the same condition exists in con nection with the behavior of different types May we not expect to find reg ular producers. from which regular bearing varieties may be propagated ? Mir. Samuel An Expert.
 MT. Snamel believes that the meth cd of breeding by bud selection car be pursued successfully with alnos al kinds of fruits, nuts, grapes, Der. | ries and all plants propagated by bud l ding or related means. He seems qual. flied to speak about the results ol 1 breeding plants by the selective meth | cd.
