NEW VARIETIES OF PEACHES _,Rewlt of ,\Experumentll Work Can- ducted by -Horticultural Depart: mcnt at Jemy Station. From- experimental ywork in the last five vears several ~hundred seedling peaches came into beaxing this sea- son in the orchards managed by the. llortlcultnral department at' the New - Jersey ,station. Among the most prom- ising that have borne this year are the result-of crossing Beélle by Greens- boro; Some of ‘these produced large oval, bright, attractive fruits of good quality, -which ripened about the' Car- man season. They even promise ‘to.be syperior to that well-‘known variety. " A cross between Belle and ‘-Early. Crawford has given rigse to a yellow peach which comes about a week: to | 10 days earlier than the Belle, A fine quality fruit has been produced by ‘the crossing of Elberta 'and Enrly Crawford, which has the same shape and color as the Elberta, but is of finer quality and’of 10 days earlier ‘ripening period. AlthougH rot has af- fected orchards’in seuthern New Jer- sey, causing 50 per cent loss in some areas; seedlings at the experiment sta- - ‘tion have been largely spared. RABBITS HURT APPLE TREES With Tar Paper, Burlap or Use of Lath Screen. .(By 3. A. ANDERSON, Horticulturist, Morris, Minn.) As 800n as there is a sufficient snow- fall to. make winter feed somewhat scarce, rabbits, and mice will attack ' “young apple trees and damage or en- tirely kill them by feeding on the bark at the ground-or on the snow line. Such injury can be prevented by wrapping ‘the trees to a_height above the snow line with tar paper or bur- lap, or by placlng a lath screen pro- Apple Tree Wrapped for Winter With ;= Paper to Protect Against Rabbits. tector around them. If the ‘drifts around the trees are very high it may be advisable to bréhk the snow drift around the trees so that. the rabbits <cannot reach the branches. Washing the trunk with whitewash containing copperas or sulphur is also_effective. ‘Hunting and trapping rabblts jn: the snow break' or orchard during the ‘early winter months’is helpful, too. Young fruit trees are gréatly bene- fited during the winter by a heavy mulch of strawy manure. This should be spaded in in the spring as’it will stimulate growth and development. During thé winter it will help to pre- vent root-killing. \ SELECTION OF, FRUIT.
