FRUIT ADAPTED FOR ORCHARDHOUSE WORK 



loaded down with their massive fruit are sure to attract attention. But, as I 

 have said, the outdoor conditions here are so favorable for the perfect develop- 

 ment of this fruit that I can only look upon the orchardhouse product as more 

 of a curiosity than anything else. 



While the Apple responds excellently to this confined treatment, still the 

 dessert or table varieties should be cultivated chiefly. But we cannot pass by 

 such noble specimens as Gascoyne Scarlet, Peasgood's Nonsuch, Lady Henniker 

 or Gloria Mundi. These have stood out prominently^ for many years, especially 

 in exhibits of orchardhouse fruit. They will outclass the open-air fruit for high 

 color, size and finish, particularly if they can be ripened up in a cool, airy house, 

 or be placed outside, with the treatment recommended for the Plum; this will 

 intensify their color after they are fully grown. 



I have passed in review the different kinds of fruit, not with the view to 

 finding fault with any, but for the purpose of indicating those that are the most 

 reliable, together with the weak points that I have noted during my many years 

 of handling them. I now leave the grower to choose for himself. 



The following lists are condensed, for I have left out many that might also 

 be grown in the orchardhouse. Those that I give, however, will be found suf- 

 ficient ior all practical purposes and will not confuse with a multiplicity of 

 names. The different kinds follow about in the order of their ripening.
