Apple trees are easy to grow. They thrive in almost every climate and soil. The 
Apple is the King of Fruits. Never were all conditions more favorable for the person 
who would plant an acreage of fruit for market purposes. A few acres of fruit with 
reasonably good care, will bring a larger cash income per acre than anything one 
can grow.
