F 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 opportunites 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 abund¬ 
ant crop of fruit which should not be neglected. Aside from the utility feature 
there is the genuine pleasure, delight and healthful recreation which is the reward 
for those who set out and care for a few trees, vines, and berry plants. With the 
garden well supplied with fruit trees, one can enjoy a continuous supply of fruit 
superior in every respect to that obtained from the market. Fruit trees can be 
used most effectively as the frame work for a garden landscape picture and should 
not be lost sight of in one’s garden plans. The following list of fruit trees has 
been most carefully selected, to comprise the best feorts. If quick results are 
desired the largest size trees you can obtain are to be recommended. Ultimate 
results, however, are just as satisfactory where the medium or smaller trees 
are used.
