Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from The Farmers Cabinet, and American Herd-Book, Vol. 3: Devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, and Rural and Domestic Affairs The very superior apples which are grown in the State of Ohio, have attracted me attention of those who have had an opportunity of examining them; they are said to be finer and fairer, and are produced in greater abundance than those of similar kinds in the Atlantic States. The orchards are also said to possess a much more youthful appearance than those in the Atlantic States, where the trees have not been longer transplanted. Some have supposed that their superiority arose from soil and climate, but it would be well to consider whether the difference does not arise from their much more recent derivation from seedlings. The early settlers in the West, carried with them seeds of various kinds, and amongst them apple seeds of the most esteemed varieties; these were planted, and produced numerous seedling varieties, more or less differing in character from those they were taken from, as is generally the case, in consequence of the mixture of the pollen of different kinds, during the period of flowering. Those of a very superior character, have been extended and propagated, by grafting, so as to furnish the fine fruit which is extensively cultivated in the West, and the inferior sorts suffered to run out and decay. The celebrated horticulturist, T. A. Knight, reasoning from the fact, that many fine varieties of the apple have greatly degenerated or disappeared, thinks he is justified in the conclusion, that all plants of one species, however propagated from the same stock, partake, in some degree, of the same life, and will attend the progress of that life in the habits of its youth, its maturity, and its decay; though they will not be any way affected by any accidental injury the parent tree may sustain after they are detached from it. if this theory be sound, and there seems to be but little difficulty in reconciling it with our observations on the gradual disappearance and decline of some of our most esteemed varieties of fruits; it would be well to resort to more recent seedling varieties of valuable sorts, to renovate our orchards. The age of an apple tree should be dated from the period of planting the seed, and not from the time of inserting the graft or applying the bud to the stock. Knight supposed the age of the apple tree to be about two hundred years, and of course those esteemed varieties which were introduced into this country by the early settlers, and which were probably not then young varieties, may be expected to disappear rapidly.
