Swaar.
HANro"=-Productive; an early bearer; my trees are stock-
grafted; soil a stiff loam; quality, " beat."
HAwLzY-An early and an annual bearer; not productive; trees
grow well; soil a clayey loam.
SLocuW-My experience agrees with that of Mr. HA1N7oan,
but my trees are root-grafted.
BRAYTON-Will rarely make good trees when root-grafted; is
apt to be upset by the winds; if stock-worked the Swaar is likely
to overgrow the stock and break off; should always be worked
standard high on strong growing sorta; when properly worked, is
a productive variety.
