GLOEDE CONSERVATORIES, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS 



America, the middle west, your com- 

 iininity, the prospect's place. 



It seems to me that we can say con- 

 siderably more than we usually do in 

 our catalogues about commercial or- 

 idiardiug. A half-page or a page in the 

 catalogue pointing out what can be 

 done, giving some definite figures show- 

 ing what has been accomplished in cer- 

 tain sections of the territory, will help 

 materially to encourage people to plant 

 such orchards. Nurserymen who sell 

 through agents can also keep these 

 .'igents posted and give them good in- 

 formation on the profits of orcharding 

 in the sections in which they are work- 

 ing. There are always plenty of good 

 data to be had, and if we will simply 

 get these data together and put them in 

 shape so that the agents ean use them; 

 if these agents are sent circular letters 

 or bulletins occasionally, giving some 

 real figures on what has been accom- 

 plished and what might be done, un- 

 doubtedly they will use such informa- 

 tion to good advantage. 



The nurseryman should advise him- 

 self as to the best ;ind most up-to-date 

 orchard practices. He should know va- 

 rieties, so that he can at least identify 

 the principal ones. He should be able 

 to advise intelligently as to the most 

 profitable varieties for each part of his 

 territory. He should also be in a posi- 

 tion to advise relative to cultivation, 

 pruning and spraying, and if he sells 

 through agents he should pass such in- 

 formation on to them so far as possible 

 and practical. Such information should 

 point out the requirements for success, 

 and it should help to combat the gossip 

 and misunderstanding of those who say, 

 "It doesn't pay to plant orchards." 



The central west also contains a num- 

 ber of large cities that receive and dis- 

 tribute a great bulk of the apple pro- 

 duction of the United States. It ia 

 hardly more than 500 or 600 miles from 

 any of this territory to Minneapolis, 

 Chicago, Indianapolis or Pittsburgh.
