sold some in the spring for $2.50 per 

 bbl, which I could get but $1 for in the 

 fall. I sold some in May to a dealer

 well in his life. Some of the barrels 

 didn't have a dozen specked apples. I 

 shall try the same method this year.

To Grow Apples Successfully. 



To grow apples successfully East or 

 West, North or South, the following 

 hints from a paper by N. F. Murray to 



the Missouri Horticultural Society will 

 hold good: Select good and suitable 

 varieties, plant none but sound trees 

 and plant them carefully. Give theni 

 plenty of room so that the tree and the 

 fruit will have sufficient air and sun- 

 shine. Prune, cultivate and feed the 

 trees and tight the codlin moth. Visit 

 the orchards of our most successful 

 fruit raisers at the time of their har- 

 vest. Join the Horticultural societies 

 and attend their meetings. Learn all 

 you can and put it in practice. Labor 

 diligently and wait patiently, and you 

 will " get there."
