The suburban fruit grower undoubtedly has many more difficulties to face than a man who lives in isolation in the country.
It isn't only the insect pests themselves, but it can easily be the virus diseases they bring with them. Fortunately it can be said that well-grown, really healthy trees and bushes arc not as likely to be attacked badly by enemies as similar specimens that have been poorly grown under unfortunate conditions. When managing just a few fruit trees or a large orchard, the compost grower must aim at healthiness throughout, and must constantly be reminding himself that three-quarters of the individual tree or bush is growing below soil surface. He will therefore have 'a worm's-eye view' of his trees and bushes in mind all the time.
This variety flowers in mid-season and never fails to flower, and therefore cross-pollinates all the early flowering and late bloomers as well as the other mid-season flowers of varieties such as Williams' Bon Chretien, Louise Bonne de Jersey, Josephine de Malines, and Winter Nelis.
`Doyenne du Cornice flowers late, and is best grown with two cross- pollinating agents near it.
I suggest Laxton's Superb and Glou Morceau. Bristol Cross seems to be useless as a cross-pollinating agent for any variety now, and therefore if it is to be planted it can be fertilized by varieties such as Conference or Laxton's Superb, but will not itself contribute to the well-being of the orchard.
Unfortunately, no man can live to himself. It is possible to manage one's fruit trees and bushes almost perfectly, and then to have to face the fact that the neighbor next door uses chemical fertilizers unnecessarily-either sprays at the wrong time or doesn't spray at all-and so, week in and week out, in the spring and summer, insect pests and the spores of fungi may be coming over in droves, and so make the perfect culture in an organic garden very difficult indeed. - 15266
