Women’s Institute Richmond Hill Eeatb c1w9 Aspen and Poplar Tree Grafting In the heart of the wooded hills three miles west of Richmond 'Hill a neighbouring horticulturâ€" ist and forester is carrying out experiments that are watched with interest by the world of sil- viculture. He is Dr. Carl Helm- burger. tree breeding expert with the Department of Lands and Forests at the Southern Re- search Station. Maple. u. u.- aw-.-" _,__, One of the most interesting of Dr. Heimburger’s projects is his work with the hybridization of silver poplar and aspen. This was initiated through the re- quirements of the Pulp and Pap- er industries of southern Ontario for an aspen that is disease re- sistant and that would propagate rapidly from a stemlcutting. Pop- lar is valuable as a wind-break and fence row tree, while both aspen and poplar, with the devel- opment of wood products have proved to be useful for pulp, ven- eer, cellulose products and match stock. Will Not Thrive Out_side_ Habitat Aspen has not so far, been suc- cessfully grown outside its native habitat in the northern latitudes. In an eflort to graft aspen on pop- lar Dr. Helmburger is experi- menting with a large variety of both species obtained from fellow scientists throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas. He is exchanging cuttings with world neighbours. The poplar is not originally native to Canada. but was introduced from the Medit- erranean countries sometimes directly, and sometimes via France, England, Germany and Austria. The most successful cross so far has been between the silver poplar and the large-tooth- ed aspen. Using methods devis- ed by himself and now of world interest, Dr. Heimburger has de- veloped hybrids from these two trees that will grow ten feet in two years. ._-. .t . The essential factor is speed, and Dr. Heimburger, a whirlwind of energy himself, has innovated several methods to accelerate pro- duction. It had been the usual practice to make cuttings in the early spring and to graft in Ap- ril. Dr. Heimburger makes his cuttings in November, simulates winter conditions through re- frigeration and snow packing un- til late winter. separates the male from the female clones (branch clusters from parent tree). and makes his grafts in January and February. In the poplar, male and female clones are found on the same parent trees. Distinguishes Buds by August A Where cuttings are concerned, he is able to distinguish male and female buds to be used the fol- lowing year. as early as August. In winter and spring he does cleft grafting with the species of poplar and aspen desired. He has discovered that this is twice as fast as the old bark graft. It consists of making a “V” shaped notch in the ‘popiar, inserting the scion cut in a wedge shape into Mr. Garness, who was 91 years old had pioneered in the Can- adian West where he farmed for many years. After his ret' ement several years ago he came ast to live with his brothers and sister at Elgin Mills. He‘is survived by one sister, Alice and two brothers, Richard and George all of ElginrMillsi. The remains were returned to Bengough, Sash, where he will be laid to rest beside his wife who predeceased him some years ago. EDWARD GARNESS One of Elgin Mills oldest resi- dents, Edward Garness passed away in Toronto General Hospital August 20 after a brief illness Horticultural Highlights @hituarp the notch, and cementing the un- ion with asphalt emulsion. The dwarf variety of trembling aspen. which flowers early, has been most successfully used as stock. Sterilized and well-fertilized soil increases the size of the seed- lings. They remain in the pro- tection of the greenhouse until the fall, when they are placed out- side and completely banked over with soil. When the spring comes. the survivors are tested. Those hY- brids that did not winter through are discarded as being unsati’sâ€" factory. Those that survive are used again in various ways. Some are moved to another site, where they shift for themselves, with- out the tender care of their first year; some are used for further grafting; some are allowed to flower and used for seed: and some are distributed to the sou- thern Ontario Pulp and Paper Companies, and to the world neighbours, who are anxious to obtain an improved strain.
