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 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 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 a reward 
for those who set out and care for a few trees, vines, and berry plants.
