Professor Walden, horticultural editor, answers Sunnyslope reader C A Leedy on forcing Spitzenbergs to bear. He explains bearing varies by variety, notes apical growth delays, cites Sprauer, compares Pacific coast vs eastern conditions, and shares grafting results showing Spitzenbergs lagged other varieties in bearing.
The article argues that apple varieties differ in bearing time due to climate and soil, not stock. It stresses healthy leaf growth to form fruit buds and a necessary rest period in late summer. Excess watering late in summer disrupts bud formation, as leaves dominate sap and hinder fruiting.
The article discusses how late irrigation or water seepage may damage fruit bud formation and yield. It notes that summer pruning reduces sap flow to fruit spurs, potentially increasing fruitfulness, and questions whether Mr. Leedy’s summer pruning last year affected the crop.
The piece contrasts irrigation's mixed effects on fruit yields with Pacific coast conditions and urges understanding local factors. It then surveys Ohio political maneuvering ahead of the 1912 governor race, noting Harmon’s renomination prospects and Republican efforts to thwart him, with Taft's influence likely shaping candidate choices.
