Fruit Department. 
t^RUIT growing on a large scale is one of the country’s profitable industries. The 
* fortunate few who have large orchards of bearing apples and other fruit trees, 
which have been properly cared for, are now reaping rich rewards. No part of the United 
States offers better opportunities than New England for the producing of highly flavored 
and richly colored fruit. In a lesser way, the home acre and the smaller city garden, 
offer opportunities for the producing of an abundant crop of fruit which should not be 
neglected. Aside from the utility feature, there is the genuine pleasure, delight and 
healthful recreation which is a reward for those who set out and care for a few trees, 
vines, and berry plants.
