The Longfield Apple and Its Trade Worth
Horticultural observers report on the Longfield apple seen at the New York State Fair. John Craig notes S. D. Willard of Geneva endorsing its value, while warnings include slow nursery growth and a pendant tree form. Blight resistance is limited, productivity is high but fruit size declines if overbearing, with issues on gravel soils in Vermont and Quebec reducing popularity.

It appeals to a niche market, requiring careful cultivation, fertilization, and thinning, with medium-sized fruit yellow and pink, mild subacid flavor, and a seasonal window in western New York October to December in Ottawa Ontario. The fruit stores well into winter in northeastern Quebec.

Ontario study links potato yield to seed size and spacing
Researchers at Ontario Agricultural College tested 196 potato varieties and found Empire State, Burbank Seedling, and Stray Beauty most productive. Five inch spacing outperformed 1 3 or 7 inches deep, and medium sized whole potatoes planted one foot apart yielded best over five years. Larger seed produced higher yields than smaller seed, and seed size mattered more than number of eyes. Sprinkling cut potatoes with plaster and lime increased yield.
