Pàgina 79 - ... sets very early the crop may be expected to be destroyed unless the most vigilant means are employed of fighting the insect. The best way to dispose of the curculio in apricot orchards is to catch him. Spraying with arsenical poisons is uncertain. The insect must be caught by jarring the trees, in the same manner as on plums and peaches, but the work must be even more thoroughly done than upon those fruits. The jarring should begin as soon as the blossoms fall and continue as long as the insects...
Pàgina 80 - lands. 4. The curculios can be kept in check when they are caught and killed ; and this is best done by jarring them onto sheets, in the same manner long followed in plum and peach orchards. 5. It is not yet certain what are the best stocks for apricots in Western New York. It is probable that no one stock is best under all circumstances. The apricot root itself seems to be impatient of our cold and wet soils, which are drenched by the drainage of winter. It needs a very deep and rich soil, but...
Pàgina 80 - ... same manner as on plums and peaches, but the work must be even more thoroughly done than upon those fruits. The jarring should begin as soon as the blossoms fall and continue as long as the insects are numerous enough to do serious damage. It will usually be necessary to catch the insects for four or six weeks, two or three times a week, or perhaps, even every day. The work must be done early in the morning, while the curculio is indisposed to fly. It is said by some growers that the curculio...
Pàgina 114 - ... four inches high, and bear a close bunch of small dense flowers (see Fig. 47). The very dwarf types are stiff and bunchy, but they are often used for borders, and the plants can be lifted on the approach of frost and put in pots, where they will continue to hold their flowers for three or four weeks. It is impossible to construct a satisfactory classification of the China asters. It is no longer practicable to classify the varieties by ' color. Neither is it feasible to classify them upon habit...
Pàgina 79 - Natural size. leaves ovate and more or less tapering at both ends, thin, dull green, on slender and pubescent mostly glandless stalks, finely appressed-serrate, and hairy on the veins below. Flowers large and plum-like, blush, solitary or in twos, on pubescent...
Pàgina 376 - Characterized by the excessive proportion of the corneous endosperm, and the small size of the kernels and ear. The kernel split laterally shows the chit and corneous matter enveloping, and in some cases a fine, starchy line.
Pàgina 79 - The apricot is a fruit somewhat intermediate between the peach and the plum. The tree is a round-headed, spreading grower with dark somewhat peach-like bark, and very broad or almost circular leaves. The fruit, which generally ripens in advance of both the peach and plum, is peach-like in shape and color, with a smoother skin, rich yellow flesh and large flat, smooth stone. The flesh is commonly less juicy than that of the peach, and, as a rule, perhaps, of higher quality. The ideal soil for the...
Pàgina 79 - ... will also be found to be advisable, no doubt, to head in the tops more or less, to prevent them from exercising too much leverage. With these conditions and precautions fulfilled, there need be only very small loss of orchard trees from poor unions. The apricot, when grown under the best conditions, may be considered to be nearly or quite as productive as the peach. Like other fruit trees, it bears in alternate years, unless the crops are very heavily thinned. New York apricots are of superior...
Pàgina 113 - Garden," in 1851, speaks of the great improvement of the aster '" within a few years," " by the German florists, and others," and adds that " the full-quilled varieties are the most highly esteemed, having a hemispherical shape, either a pure white, clear blue, purple, rose or deep red ; or beautifully mottled, striped, or edged with those colors, or having a red or blue centre.
