Mexicans. tor nearly a quarter cen

AS result Of these studies it can
be stated with considerable assur-
ance that it is possible 10 raise fruit
for family use at attitudes up 10 ), ,0O0
feet by giving attention TO certain de-
tails OF planting and care.
In the first place il must be under
stood that tender fruits, like peaches,
apricots, and sweet varieties of cher
ries, cannot be included on account
Of the ease with which they winter
kill, unless one is willing to go to
the trouble OF laying them down as
has been sometimes practiced in case
of the peach.
Again, only those varities df ap-
piles, pears, plums, and cherries
should be chosen which are of prov
ed hardness, or which have certain
peculiarItles of resistance. such as
hardness of blossom, late blooming
period, relatively early maturity of
