New Apples Cannot be Propagated
From Seed-The HARRISON, or Mime
sofa No. 80, a new hardy winter ap-
pie developed by university fruit
breeders Of the state fruit breeding
farm at Zumbro Heights, cannot be
propagated from seed, said r. S. Mac
kintosh, horticultural specialist with
the agricultural extension division.
"A recent statement appearing in a
popular magazine Of wide circulation
that this apple can be so grown is
entirely erroneous" he said. 1.-The
| impression created was quite incorrect.
This variety, like all standard varieties
or apples, cannot be propagated from
seed, but must be grated or budded.
The HARRISON, like all new varieties
| OF apples. originated from single
seed. If seed of this apple were plant
ed, however. there would probably not
| be good variety produced out Of
| Thousand seeds. To propagate va
rlety we must resort to grating or
budding"
