AAOONS FRUITS 



The beauty of flowering Apple .trees'and the fragrance of their blossoms are known to everyone who has seen 

 them radiant with flowers like the trees in our illustration. There are many places not now planted with trees that 

 could be made more profitable by setting out some fruit trees, which are highly ornamental in leaf and flower aside 

 from the enjoyment of the fruit.
