Choose Popular Varieties. — The grower slionld also choose 

 popular varieties and in particular select sorts that are suited 

 to the market or markets to which he expects to ship his fruit. 

 Probably more people are partial to the Baldwin than to any 

 other one variety. Wismer's Dessert may be a better apple, but 

 so few people know it that the orchard man can sell a thousand 

 barrels of Baldwins to one of Wismer's Dessert. And some 

 markets are especially partial to certain varieties while other 

 markets will not handle them at all. Chicago, for example, wants 

 the Yellow Bellflower and will pay fine prices for it, while Boston 

 and New York do not want it at all (Fig. 8). There are growers 

 in Maine who make a specialty of growing the Bellflower for 

 Chicago and secure high prices, but if they disregarded this 

 point and shipped to their nearest large market, Boston, they 

 might make little or nothing. 



Buying the Stock. — Having settled on the varieties, the next 

 thing is to buy the stock. Here are some of the points to be 

 considered under this head: (1) Southern-grown vs. northern- 

 grown stock: (2) age of trees that is best; (3) size or grade that 

 is best ; (4) price to pay.
