Apples. 
The first fruit, both in importance and general culture, is the apple. Its per- 
iod, unlike that of other fruits, ex 
tends nearly or quite through the 
year. By planting judicious selec- 
tions of summer, autumn. and winter 
sorts, a constant succession of this in- 
dispensable fruit can beea sily obtain- 
ed for family use, There is no farm 
crop which on an average will pro- 
duce one-fourth as much income per 
acre as will a good apple orchard if 
right varieties and pro,er land are 
selected. One grower in West Vir- 
ginia reports 5800 barrels the past 
season from 35 acres and netted $2.00 
per barrel. Thisis better than 25c. 
corn. Isitnot? In planting an ap- YELLOW TRANSPARENT. 
ple orchard put three peach trees and one apple tree. This way you save land.
