Cultivation Is one Of the four great
essentials in orchard management
The effectiveness OF sprays and
emulSiOns Is gained only by regular
application.

To fall short IN measure Is 70 provoke

Fruit not perfect enough for other
uses may DO made into cider and then
into vinegar.
The taste for good fruit may be so
cultivated that It viii be had. even at
a larger price.
Midsummer pruning heals quickly
and Is being practiced extensively by
good orchardists
First-ciass fruit IN hrst-class shape
will probably create an inquiry for
