The Illustration represents a fair sample of the 
fruit trees we supply our customers, the sizes 
varying somewhat with the dilTerent varieties. 
The Extra Standard pear measures 134 Inches in 
diameter, and the Sour Cherry 1 inch, which may 
be taken as a standard to judge of the size of the 
others here shown. 
FRUIT growing on a large scale is 
one of the country's profitable 
industries and in old New England 
large tracts of country are now being 
rapidly put into orchards, which only a 
few years ago were practically abandoned 
as worthless. It is probably true that no 
part of our country offers an opportunity 
to grow better flavored or colored fruits, 
especially apples and peaches, than the 
New England hills. 
The large profits from peach orchards 
within the last few years is well known. 
In a smaller way the home acre, yes, 
even the small city garden, can be made 
to return crops of fruit well worth all 
the labor expended ; then, too, there is 
the other side, the genuine pleasure and 
profit many of us get and more would 
if they only knew what they are missing, 
in watching the trees grow, from the 
blossoming time, when the orchards 
rival in beauty the flower gardens, then 
the doubtful time of fruit forming, and 
on through their development until the 
ripening colors appear and in the full 
maturity we have the actual fruits of our 
watchfulness and care. One must be 
indifferent, indeed, not to find pleasure 
in the fruit garden and orchard.
