FRUIT 
/ \ FRUIT tree is not only beautiful of itself, but highest utility multiplies its value and even 
adds to its beauty. What more delightful to the eye than a globose shaped, deep green cherry 
tree, or a pyramidal pear tree on a lawn, all on fire with its load of irridescent fruit! Never a 
more perfect shade than the back-door” apple tree of our grandmothers. 
As a windbreak, a massed orchard is perfect, giving air drainage while protecting the estate 
or farmstead from the shock of storms without the rock-like resistance of evergreens, which 
produce back-drafts and eddies. 
A background of small fruits, mounting from currants to raspberries, and then to a corner- 
thicket of blackberries beyond, is something more than just a screen. It invites your friends and 
your bird-friends too. A pergola bowered in purpling grapes is doubly attractive, combining 
beauty and bounty. Did you ever see a homestead with too much fruit—or grow any quinces 
or gooseberries or peaches you couldn’t give away^ No other feature of the newly-built dwelling 
—be it in town or country—gives it such attractiveness and saleability as a copious supply of 
fruits. To reduce sentiment to shillings, fifty dollars invested in well-assorted fruit trees and plants 
will add ten times the cost to a sale or rental value—besides that in the meantime the proprietor 
is himself regaled most sumptuously. 
APPLES 
BALDWIN. Too well-known to need description— 
still the most popular apple this side of the Atlantic 
and steadily gaining in favor in London markets. The 
standard strain of this fruit is of a deep, uniform red. 
Oblate spheroid in shape, with flesh of a light canary 
yellow. One of the few apples whose blossoms are 
reliably self-fertile so that it may be planted in a solid 
block, although this is not recommended. 
BANANA. Very I arge size; color deep yellow 
splashed with red. Vigorous grower, heavy bearer. 
Flesh tender and aromatic. 
CHAMPLAIN. A new cross between Northern Spy 
and McIntosh that is the size of the latter and fully 
as red. Fruit ripens as late as Spy and has the same 
high quality. Originated in the Spaulding Orchard, 
Clinton County, New York. 
CHENANGO STRAWBERRY. Tree a moderate 
grower and good bearer. Fruit tender, mild flavor. 
Attractive color, tender flesh. Good for home 
orchard. 
CORTLAND. Bright red, blushed with very dark red, 
splashed and striped with carmine. The flesh is a 
pinkish tint, and while fine, crisp, exceedingly tender 
and juicy, it is protected by a skin more tough than 
that of the McIntosh. The tree is a vigorous, up- 
spreading, hardy grower, healthy and very produc¬ 
tive, holding its ripening fruit better than the Mc¬ 
Intosh, and maturing about three weeks later.
