B9% While other people are Dragging
on the quantity and varieties of Fruit they have
raised this season, we may as well mention that
there grew upon a tree in our garden this sum-
mer, an Apricot, which came TO full maturity
and ripened about ten days ago. We did not
think it worth itemizing until we heard it sug-
gested that this is the only tree of the kind in
the city and undoubtedly the only one in the
county. Who says that Wisconsin can not be
made fruit-growing State The great, indeed
the only, difficulty we apprehend in the way of
raising all the more delicate varieties of fruit
here. is to keep the trees back in the spring.
and so manage them by location and otherwise.
as to prevent them from poisoning so early in
the season as to be injured by the frost. We do
not see why this cannot be done with proper
care and attention. We should like to see the
experiment once fairly and thoroughly tested.
