Show FOR A FRUIT evaporator i what may terminate in the location of a bis big fruit evaporating plant in this community was the ordering of go 60 peach trees from california by russell ensign plant pathologist of the box elder high school the trees ordered are the varieties which the golden state has found most profitable in the evaporating and canning business and the consignment will ct insist of erf the following 10 lowell peach 2 aa aluir cufr peach 20 phillips cling peach 10 sims cling peach i I 1 the lowell peach Is suitable to either canning or evaporating while the muir aluir is regarded as the best evaporating peach and the phillips cling the best canning peach produced in the state of california the sims clingie a new variety in the golden state but it is giving wonderful satisfaction and is recommended as a very high grade fruit all these varieties are early coming along in the latter part of july and the tore fore part of august in leading out in this matter mr ensign is doing so from a purely public spirited standpoint he went before the board of education and asked tor for an appropriation with which to purchase the stock and the order was sent off aff this week mr air ensign made the above selections after a careful study of the varieties and anci the wole thing will be experimental for as yet it is not known just how the trees will thrive in our high altitude and rigo rigorous r winters that can only be demonstrated by planting them and giving them a fair trial it if the trees mature properly and the fruit buds and ripens in the same period of time as it does in california mr air ensign states that the way will then be opened for far brigham city and the surrounding fruit lands to come into their own as a fruit section the one outstanding objection and it is a serious one to the elberta elbert peach is th that at it comes on the market so late alfei and just as the rold cold weather begins nothing is hardly morre more repulsive to bite into than a fuzzy peach on a cold day and so it a variety can be found that will mature earlier in this climate and produce as it should it would mean that the present orchards will be supplanted by acres of these california peaches there is another way in which the change from one variety could be ac provided the trees being imported prove tor to be adaptable to this climate and that is by grafting scions of the varieties desired could be secured from california and with very little labor and at a tremendous saving of time and money grafted onto the trunks of elberta trees now nov standing an experiment will be made along this line also to determine just what can be done the trees will arrive from the coast in ten days orr or two weeks and in the mean time mr air ensign will be very glad to get in touch with a number of the most successful peach growers in this section who would like to plant these experimental trees in their or orchards he and care for them an endea endeavor vcr will vill be made to place all the trees with peach growing experts in order that they may be assured the proper treatment and cultivation so that nothing will be omitted in the experiment to make it thorough and the most propitious for the warm climate trees |
