Early Illinois OrchardipD

The early settlers Of central auG
southern Illinois were neither fruit
eating nor a fruit-producing people.
They depended upon the forests for
their supply of fruit. The children.
gathered the blackberries, grapes,
plums, persimmons and paw paws. A,
few more enterprising had peaches.
They were seedlings as rule Peaches
we're peaches to the pioneer. AS the
country developed, some of the farmers
began to plant apple sprouts and seed
lings. When the chief end of the apple
was cider or vinegar, it made little Diff
ference what kind of an apple they
had. Some who had been used to bet
ter fruit, brought gratis with them.
On our farm are some apple trees
about sixty years old which still show
the point of union between the stock
and the scion. Many of the early va
rieties thus developed were unsuited to
our soil and climate. All of the ORCH
ards were small and only intended to-
supply the family. This was the state
of orcharding in Illinois up to the
building Of the Illinois Central Rail-
