  • Propagation Experiments with Avocado, Mango, and Papaya
    Proceedings of the AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR HORTICULTURAL SCIENCE 1933 30:382-386 Propagation Experiments with Avocado, Mango, and Papaya HAMILTON P. TRAUB and E. C. AUCHTER U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. During the past year several different investigations relative to the propagation of the avocado, mango and papaya have been conducted in Florida. In this preliminary report, the results of a few of the different experiments will be described. Germination media:—Avocado seeds of Gottfried (Mex.) during the summer season, and Shooter (Mex.) during the fall season; and Apple Mango seeds during the summer season, were germinated in 16 media contained in 4 x 18 x 24 cypress flats with drainage provided in the bottom. The eight basic materials and eight mixtures of these, in equal proportions in each case, tested were: 10-mesh charcoal, 6-mesh charcoal, pine sawdust, cypress sawdust, sand, fine sandy loam, carex peat, sphagnum peat, sand plus loam, carex peat plus sand, sphagnum peat plus sand, carex peat plus loam, sand plus coarse charcoal, loam plus coarse charcoal, cypress sawdust plus coarse charcoal, and carex peat plus sand plus coarse charcoal. During the rainy summer season, with relatively high temperature and an excess of moisture without watering, 10-mesh charcoal, and the mixture of carex peat plus sand plus charcoal proved most rapid, but for the drier, cooler fall season, when watering was necessary, the mixture of cypress sawdust plus charcoal was added to the list. During the rainy season the two charcoal media, sphagnum peat, sand plus charcoal, cypress sawdust plus charcoal, and carex peat plus sand plus charcoal gave the highest percentages of germination at the end of 6 to 7 weeks, but during the drier season the first three were displaced by carex peat plus sand, and sphagnum peat plus sand.

  • Artichokes the Authors Are Harwood Hall, Farm Advisor, Susan Wada, Technician, and Ronald E
    The University of California Vegetable Research and Information Center VEGETABLE GARDENING Growing Artichokes The authors are Harwood Hall, Farm Advisor, Susan Wada, Technician, and Ronald E. Voss, Extension Vegetable Specialist. POINTS TO REMEMBER The bud, or immature flower, is the part of the artichoke that is harvested. The edible portions of the bud are the tender bases of the leaves (bracts), and the fleshy base upon which the flowers are borne (heart). The artichoke does best in frost-free areas having cool, foggy summers. Freezing temperatures kill the buds, and hot, dry conditions destroy their tenderness. PLANTING CALENDAR Artichokes don't reproduce true from seed, so they're best planted by using root North Coast (Monterey County-north): divisions available at nurseries. Or a healthy August through December plant can be dug up, the root divided into two or more parts and replanted. Artichoke South Coast (San Luis Obispo plants reach a height of 3 or 4 feet and a County-south): October through December spread of up to 6 feet in diameter, so allow plenty of space for them to grow. In the Interior Valley and Imperial and Coachella vegetable garden, plant them to the side so Valleys: planting not recommended for that they won't be disturbed by the more these areas. frequent planting of annual vegetables.

  • Swiss Chard Swiss Chard (Beta Vulgaris Var
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 13 Aug 2012 Swiss Chard Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris var. cicla in the Family Chenopodiaceae) is a type of beet that does not produce an edible root. Also know as silverbeet (mainly in New Zealand and Australia), chard is a biennial plant grown as an annual for its rosette of big crinkly leaves and/ or wide crunchy stems. The leaves are very similar to beet greens, but have prominent, enlarged midribs and are borne on Chard is grown for its edible leaves and petioles. stout petioles. Chard is also a decorative plant that can be used as an ornamental in the fl ower garden. Native to the Mediterranean, it was a popular food even before the days of the Roman Empire. It was once grown exclusively to be eaten at Christmas in the south of France, and constituted the highlight of the Christmas Eve meal. Only the petioles, with a fl avor reminiscent of artichoke hearts, were eaten. Chard leaves have prominent midribs. Chard prefers cool temperatures, as high temperatures slow down leaf production, but it tolerates heat better than spinach does and rarely bolts like spinach will. Swiss chard grows well regardless of soil type, daylength or temperature. You can plant chard from seed (actually seed clusters which contain several seeds), about a month before the average date of last frost through midsummer. You can also start plants indoors to transplant out later, but I’ve always had success with direct seeding early in the spring. Chard does best in full sun, although it tolerates partial shade and likes fertile, well-worked soil with good drainage and high Young chard plants.

  • Avocado Production in California Patricia Lazicki, Daniel Geisseler and William R
    Avocado Production in California Patricia Lazicki, Daniel Geisseler and William R. Horwath Background Avocados are native to Central America and the West Indies. While the Spanish were familiar with avocados, they did not include them in the mission gardens. The first recorded avocado tree in California was planted in 1856 by Thomas White of San Gabriel. The first commercial orchard was planted in 1908. In 1913 the variety ‘Fuerte’ was introduced. This became the first important commercial variety, due to its good taste and cold tolerance. Despite its short season and Figure 1: Area of bearing avocado trees in California since erratic bearing it remained the industry 1925 [4,5]. standard for several decades [3]. The black- skinned ‘Hass’ avocado was selected from a seedling grown by Robert Hass of La Habra in 1926. ‘Hass’ was a better bearer and had a longer season, but was initially rejected by consumers already familiar with the green-skinned ‘Fuerte’. However, by 1972 ‘Hass’ surpassed ‘Fuerte’ as the dominant variety, and as of 2012 accounted for about 95% of avocados grown in California [3]. By the early 1930s, California had begun to export avocados to Europe.
