sell on the market and bring as much
money as the ones from 80 down, and
believe it would be best TO mark in some
way on the boxes the number Of peaches
in each box. This would save the parties
who sell them the trouble OF opening
each box to get a person just what he
wants. / noticed that several growers
this last season did not pack their boxes
full and they lost money by SO doing.
1t is the last fruit which is packed in a
box to make it well filed which pays
best. Would advise planting very few
Of the early varieties as the later ones
pay the best. Think the Elberta peach
is the best peach grown for shipping
purposes.
Pears.-No's. and Pack in same
size box as California nse. and SO that
the boxes will bulge. Think Bartlett is
one Of the best paying pears to plant.
Plums and Prunes-Pack in four-bas
ket crates, same as California. and grow
only the large blue and red varieties.
Cherries-Pack in 2i-quart crates or
in grape baskets, and pack full.
Grapes-As to grapes, would not plant
at all for our market. as the east can
raise them and ship them to our market
SO cheap it does not leave anything for
U.S.
have taken the pains to get the
opinion of several OF the largest and most
reliable firms of different parts OF the
country who handle large quantities Of
fruit, so you may be able to judge more
carefully for yourselves. Would sug-
gest that some action be taken at once
to enforce the law in regard to keeping
down and and out Of pests.

In treating upon this subject We find
that in all vocstions Of life success and
failure accompany each other on every
hand. Many disappointments..are due to
uncomfortable causes, but in the majority
OF cases our failures are traceable to
lack OF knowledge and good judgement
on our own part.
In viewing this question from a prac.
tical standpoint. on the basis OF dollars

sought by all fruit growers Of Colorado.
we should be governed by the following
conditions:
First-To know what the soil is best
adapted for and how our products CON-
pare in quality and quantity with other
parts OF the world with which we come
in competition. The next thing TO con-
slider is to make as few mistakes as pos
sible in selecting the variety that will
prove them TO be staple and that there
is demand FOR such product.
After We have settled these points TO
our satisfaction we will still learn that
there are many things We had overlooked
as progress continually brings changes
that will have TO be met to keep up with
the times. However, the leading mis-
takes OF former paintings are in a great
measure excusable, but now we have the
experience Of others before us and we
should profit by their mistakes and
success. and il now the greatest mistake

As the last few years OF our fruit in

Apples-I have watched for the las.
year in different markets what apples sold
the best and what package gave the best
satisfaction. As to the variety. I find
that the Jonathans, Winesaps and Rome
Beauty are in greater demand by the
buyer than all others and command the
highest prices. Ben Davis you cannot
sell az all as long as there are any other
apples in the market. Would not advise
the planting OF any more Ben Davis
when you can raise other varieties as
well. - they can and do raise Ben Davis
all over the United States where they
raise applce at all. Our best package to
use viii be the standard box OF the same

During the first season these young
shoots must be watered and kept in a
regular state OF vigor; il any threaten to
become too vigorous they should be

Is the time to secure a well formed and
nicely balanced head. A very slight cir

moment, when it can be done without

Supposing we commence the head
With three branches at the time OF plant
ing. there will be six at the end Of the
FIRST season. The attention required
sitter this will be to maintain a uniform
growth among these six branches and
their divisions and to prevent the growth
of shoots in the center. The leading de-
feet in all our orchards is too much wood.
The heads are kept SO dense with small
shoots that the sun and air are. to great
measure. excluded and tn. fruit on the
outside OF the tree only, is marketable
or tit for use. The head should be kept
open. so that wood. leaves, blossoms and
fruit may all, on every part OF the tree,
enjoy the full benefit Of the sun and air,
without which they cannot perform their
proper functions or attain maturity and
perfection.
Too many people imagine that trees
car take care OF themselves, as trees in
the forest. They base their opinion on
the ground that nature preserves bal
ance in all her works, but it should be
borne in mind that fruit tree is not
exactly natural production. 1t is far
ronoyed from the natural state by Guilt
vation and the farther is is removed,
that is. the more its nature is improved
