The Old Idea of an 
Orchard and the 
New 
The center of the 
picture shows the new 
type of orchard—the trees 
so small that a good part 
of the fruit can be picked 
without the use of a lad- 
der. At the right is the 
eld type of orchard, in 
which much of the energy 
of the tree was allowed 
to go to the development 
of needless branches, mak- 
ing it difficult to care for 
the tree properly, and 
particularly difficult to 
gather the fruit.
