P. J. BercJcmam7 Descriptive Catalogue. 13 trees Our own orchard trees, ranging from six to ten years of age, refute every assertion condemning grafted trees. Many trees have doubtless been grown by being grafted upon pieces of apide or quince roots or pear suckers, and as such trees have proven to be worthless from lack of affinity between stock and graft, their failure should be assigned to the proper causes, and not to theoretical assertions, which are as untenable as they are unscientific. Another fallacy is the- Pedigree theory. Some growers contended a few years ago that unless a tree had beeen regularly propagated by cuttings from one generation to another, it was worthless, limine a cutting taken from a grafted tree would be contaminated to such an extent as to cause it to blight. We would ask those who hold to that idea, why blight has lately destroyed thousands of Pedigree trees throughout Southern Georg a, and why the graf ed trees in other sections are still but little affected?

We can also supply a limited quantity of LeConte t rees upon their own roots. We do not use the LeConte as a stock, because of its deficiency in roots, which makes it undesirable for average soils. The annexed photograph conveys a practical representation of the root -vstem of Pear trees, accordingto class of stocks used. Many thousands of our Keiffer trees, grafted in February, 1892, on both Japan and Belgian im- parted pear seedlings, are now, July 1 ~th, from six to seven feet high. Com- ment is unnecessary.
