Hawaiian traditions declare that In

settled Hawaii. The adventure Of the

the possibility Of such migration.

this gentleman who through his horti-
cultural experience, knows whereof he
speaks. Mr. True began BY saying:
AT least three conditions are positively
necessary In order to establish . psrma.
nent and profitable orchard, whether
the attempt be made In Delaware c0un.
| ~ or In any other county VI our state.
the conditions are these: Q suitable tree,
. favorable location ADD 0 sensible
man, the latter being OF greatest Inn
portsnce. With many Il has become
y custom to attribute the causes OF
failure In the production Of orchard
fruits to lack Of sdaptability In the
| tree to Ito surroundings, when In reality
tho chief cause Of failure In large ma
jOrity of instances has been srOss ne.
| glect ON the part of the planter. An
ordinary tree In Q moderately favorable
location and under the management OF
an observing, intelligent and painstak-
ing man will prove Q far better invest
ment than the very best tree planted In
the most favorable location and left to
1 tho care Of IN Indifferent and shiftless
cultivatOr. To some, such remarka
may seem harsh and unWSrrsnted, new.
ettheless they are true. / wish to note
four Of the principle causes that In the
psst have proved destructive TO oul
orchards in general throughout thu
northwest, namely: sunscald OF body
blight, girdling OF gnaving BY mice O
rabbits, root killing By severe freezing
and the work Of the apple tree boIer
There are other minor causes, such o

lack of proper fertilization In the soil
the severe pruning Of large bEsnc he
