Profit and Culture of the Ounce:

This fruit is beginning to attract
some attention, being in good demand
and bringing high prices. In one case
the past fall, 1G barrels were sold from
some thirty trees Of various sizes; the
largest yielding barrel and half to
a tree. The money received for the
fruits? per barrels nearly all
clear profit.
That care and cultivation pay, may
be seen by the following: Ten years
ago Mr.. +. ,. Potter set Sc ounce
trees on one.eighth OF an acre. -Four
or five trees have since died. The
fifth year from setting, those living
bore two barrels OF fruit, and they
have averaged over five barrels year
since. Last fall Mr.. Potter gathered
over nino barrels, that SOLD Tor $50.
This is at the rate Of $640 al acre ;
while the average for the last five
years has been nearly half that
amount, or at the rate Of over $500
an acre each year. The trees had
only common cultivation, that is not
the common neglected cultivation Civ.
EN- those ect in fence corners, bnt com.
mon field cultivation OF course there
arc few kinds Of fruit that yield a
larger per ceDtage in profits.
Ounces are very easily grown
Downing says they should be planted
in deep and good coil, kept in con.
slant cultivation, and should have a
top dressing Of manure every season,
when fair aud abundant crops are de.
sired. As to pruning or other care,
it requires but very little indeed-an
occasional thinning out Of crowded
and decayed branches, being quite
sufficient.
