while other sections only a few miles removed have
been out for years.  The same is true of other soils &
other localities in this county.

Success or failure in raising orchards therefore
often depends on causes entirely local.  It sometimes
happens that two orchards from the same nursery, planted
in the same neighborhood, at the same time,
differ widely in results - the one being <s>completely</s>
<s>healthy</s> comparatively healthy, long-lived
& vigorous; the other sickly, diseased and
premature- much of this is doubtless owing to
different treatment and cultivation, but in
many instances no sufficient reason can be
assigned.

Respectfully.
H. H. Appleton.
