PROFITS IN FRUIT GROWING 
Twenty-five years ago the great cry was "you will overdo the business." This same 
prediction has been made many times since, but largely by people who neglected to plant, 
or those who after planting failed to care for their orchards intelligently. 
We have had f the [pleas- 
ure of seeing the development 
of the peach growing business 
in this locality from a begin- 
ning when to be a planter of a 
thousand trees was to be con- 
sidered next of kin to a lunatic 
until the present time, a period 
of about twenty-five years, 
during which it has been 
abundantly proved that the 
planting of suitable waste or 
idle lands with fruit trees, par- 
ticularly peach, is a most sound 
business proposition, one that 
will pay back again very large 
profits. From a business con- 
sidered as most hazardous in 
character it has passed to 
that of one suitable for sound 
business men to engage in 
and expect to get large divi- 
dends in return. 
Year by year the plant- 
ing of orchards increases. 
Trees can hardly be grown 
fast enough to supply the de- 
mand and yet the market de- 
mands for choice fruit seems 
to indicate that the time is far 
distant when too much such 
fruit will be produced to yield 
a profit, 
It has been abundantly 
demonstrated that it is not 
too much to expect a peach 
orchard to have paid for itself 
at five years of age, leaving 
the crops of heavy yields 
which come with the more 
full maturity of the trees as -^^^^ photograph shows three each o£ two grades o£ our Apple trees,
