L is not advisable to plant solid
block of 100 trees of one variety I'M
less there are other trees in the i'm
mediate vicinity. Some varieties are
self-fertiIe. and will give satisfactory
results if planted alone; but it is al
ways safer to provide for cross fertili-
cation. In large orchards every
third or fourth row should be of a
different variety. Two or three vari-
cites are enough for q commercial
orchard, however, and it is seldom ad.
visabIe to plant more.
