grower the most money because in
some cases you do not get enough
apples. My Spitzenburgs sell the
highest of any apples grown but do
not, on an average, pay me one dollar
where my Winesaps, Romes or Jona-
thans pay me two dollars.
Ii we're planting an orchard near
Ellensburg, l would certainly plant
the Mcintosh. l would plant some
of the Delicious in any orchard.
This apple is selling marvelously we'll
wherever grown so far as | know.
AS to grape growing | can say that
down the valley where my orchards
are located, grapes do we'll. OF course
no one will make the mistake of try
ing to grow the tropical grapes in a
cold country. But such grapes as the
Concord, the Worden, Moor's Early,
the Clinton, the Delaware and many
others do very we'll with me. 1t would
be we'll to make inquiry about Ellens-
burg as to how grapes do there.
Grapes need good deal of heat and
I am not sufficiently advised to say
whether the heat is adequate in the
higher attitudes.
When it comes to pears as money
makers, 1 would give the Bartlett the
preference. Some other pears sell
higher but are shy bearers. But do
not plant the Bartlett alone-it needs
a fertilizer. | prefer the Clapp's
Favorite for the purpose. One tree
of Clapp's for five of the Bartlett will
be sufficient.

There is much that can be done in
the winter that will be profitable to
the fruit grower. 1t is good time to
read up on horticultural matters. The
Bulletins and the Year books which
can be secured without cost will
furnish much valuable reading. A
man can OF become an efficient fruit
grower by reading alone. He needs
experience that can net be secured
from books alone, but we'll read
man will make better experimenter
than the ignorant man. Good papers
