Do not make the mistake of se- lectinc some much talked of - varieties that may require entire ly different climatic conditions that exist here, for if you do you dan at best expect but in ferior fruit while in all proba-. bility your trees will very seldom set fruit at all. This pertains also to the bush and small fruits. ' With our altitude and cold win ters ft is advisable to set the trees in the spring, fall set trees are apt to be winter killed. In settincr the trees, cutback the longer roots and others which have been broken off, with a sharp knife. Make the holes large enough to admit all the roots without their ends being bent upward. Set the trees sev eral inches deeper than they were when in the nursery row. If you have a prevailing wind, set -the trees leaning slightly in that di rection. Cutoff the trees about two feet above the ground. Al ways where possible secure one year old trees as iney can oe made to the desired form better than older trees. The selection of varieties is of much importance and often de termines whether your planting will be a failure or success. Con ditions as they exist over the greater part of this country, call for hardy, northern grown, rather early varieties of apples. The Russian group fills these requirements quite well and in elude such varieties as the Astracan, Yellow Transparent, Gravenstein. Other hardy vari eties are Wealthy, Mcintosh Red, Pewaukee, and possibly Kome Beauty. This gives suc cession of fruit from the earlier till winter. The Crabs do well also. The Bartlett and Flemish Beauty have proven desirable varieties of pears.
