1' rauklj’, I believe that the marketing of the crop of fruit is the 
essential point in prolit-making. You may fivow good fruit, but 
if you neglect the packing, or ship it to points wliere there is a 
surplus, your prolits surely will be reduced. 
1' ancj’ apples are most salable when packed in boxes or bushel 
baskets in suniiner or early fall, although in some cases it may bo 
necessary to use barrels. 
The "Georgia carrier” makes the most practical and useful 
container for peaches when they are to be sliiiiped a considerable 
distance. For nearby markets the Jersey half-bushcl basket is 
.sometimes used. Many growers use the bushel basket, but we 
prefer the “Georgia carrier” as a container for our best fruit. 
Be sure that only jicrfect fruit is packed—one imperfect speci¬ 
men impairs the value of the basket or barrel, and. if too many 
specimens are defective, the value of the entire shipment will be 
les.soued. 
Pruning One-Year Apple Trees after Planting. Leave on 
all the limbs until spring, and when growth starts, if the tree is a 
whip.-.simply cut it off at the height which vou desire the head to 
be. We would prefer this to be not more than IS inches from the 
ground. If the tree i.s more or less branched and the head already 
formed, prune the side branches with regard to the frame of the 
future head, leaving sticks 4 to (* inches in length and cut off the 
top. We do not advi.se pruning the branches or cutting back tin* 
top until spring for best succe.ss.
