the best fruit and sells to the best people who 
will pay the best prices to get the best thing-s. 
His customers are not slow to learn that he can 
be relied upon to furnish the best in the market 
and know they must pay him the highest price 
to secure his products. He becomes rich by 
getting a large profit on everything he touches 
and employs labor enough to do everything at 
the right time and in the right way and is 
always ahead with his work. 
PROFITS OF FRUIT GROWING. 
The profits depend on the grade of fruit you 
grow. I always expect to get enough more for 
my fruit than the general market price to pay 
the entire cost of growing it. 
Do not lose sight of the fact that the average 
grower uses mongrel plants and gives the most 
indifferent cultivation. I can rent land and do 
all the work and get this high grade of fruit 
ready to pick on an average of less than one 
cent per quart. A crop of 300 bushels gives (at 
one cent per quart) $96 for expenses, so you can 
readily see that intensive fruit growing alone 
pays, to say nothing of readj- sales. I am sure 
the time I save on the market covers all the 
extra work I do in growing the berries. 
Don't try to lift the 
whole world at once, but 
only as much of it as will 
afford you profit and 
pleasure. Don't imagine 
you must have all the 
fancy tools to start with; 
j'ou will be able to ^et 
them later. Any good 
farm tools will answer 
the purpose. Don't set 
any more plants than you 
can manure th? ground 
for and cultivate thor- 
oughly. 
If j'Our ground is not 
small order for such varie- 
and propagate your own 
plants for next year. Of course you lose a 
year's time in doing this but you must not do 
their potency of pollen and fruiting power. 
I have expended years of time in breeding 
up these plants and to send them out late in 
in shape send in

the summer and fall, giving them only a few 
weeks of dry cool weather in which to become 
established, and supply themselves with root- 
age and fruit buds, is disappointing to planters 
and an injury to my reputation as a propaga- 
tor of fine thoroughbred stock. 
If you design to set plants for commer- 
cial purposes, let me admonish you there is no 
money in slipshod methods. Manure j'our 
ground during the winter, set your plants in 
the spring, remove blossorhs and give thorough 
culture all summer and get immense plants,

of fruit that will enable you to dictate prices 
and control the market. 
THE FRUIT GARDEN. 
I pity the wife and mother of a family who 
has to prepare 1095 meals every year with 
resources limited to the pork barrel, potato bin, 
and bread tray. If she could only step into a
