HOW TO GROW GOOD FRUIT.

There is still large quantities of fruit
cultivated that is not worth taking TO mar
kst. Hundreds of bushels of apples have
been made into execrable l,ies in Boston

purchased at a tritle less cost than those
OF better quality. But it is mistaken
economy, AS u mill, good favored apple
wouid require less sugar and then make d
better pie. Many persons have a pride
III, and attach too much consequence TO
an apple Which sprang up spontaneously
on Their own farm, or perhaps, which they
have cultivated with some cane, and .h4n
numbers OF seedlings occupy the places
that should be improved by liner varieties,
and which, if cultivated, would afford "a
greater profit. .....
