Fruit Department. 
Fruit trees in variety of the popular trans¬ 
planting sizes. 
pTlUIT growing on a large 
scale is one of the coun¬ 
try’s profitable industries. No 
part of our country offers a 
better opportunity to grow high 
flavored or colored fruits, espec¬ 
ially apples, than New England. 
In a smaller way the home 
acre, yes, even the small city 
garden, can be made to return 
crops of fruit well worth all the 
labor expended. There is the 
other side, the genuine pleasure 
and delight many of us get, and 
more would if they only knew 
what they are missing, in watch¬ 
ing the trees grow. From the 
blossoming time, when the or¬ 
chards rival in beauty the flower 
gardens until the ripening colors 
appear and in the full maturity 
we have the actual luscious 
fruits of our watchfulness and 
care one’s interest is kept at 
the top notch.
