Care of Orchards.

In many parts of the State the apple is 80
well suited to the climate and soil that
orchards will exist and bear partial crops of
fairly good fruit even if they are utterly neg
lected. To grow an abundance of smooth
fruit of good quality should be the aim of each
orchardist, whether he have one tree or a
thousand Prof. Munsons bulletin on the
care of orchards will be carefully read by all
interested in apple growing 1t gives concise
directions for renovating old orchards and
for the care of newly set trees. The photo
graphs showing two orchards situated side by
side, one cultivated the other neglected, are
instructive object lessons. This bulletin
(No. 49, will be sent free to all who apply to
the Agricultural Experiment Station, Orono,
Me. In writing please mention this paper.
