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 apples 
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. One must be in- 
different, indeed, not to find pleasure in 
the fruit garden and orchard. Some work 
connected with it? Certainly, but it is. 
play-work if we make it so and the kind 
many of us need.
