much larger number Of bearing trees.
A well-managed orchard will give
clear income above all expenses of
from s1OO to $1,000 per acre. Not
many bearing apple orchards are for
sale, but good apple land is for sale,
and one is able to purchase it all the
way from $40 to 800 per acre, ac-
cording to location and improve
ments. 1t will pay a profit on the
cost while the trees are growing and
in a few years will be the source of
a very agreeable income If planted
to this fruit. Why go to the mac
cessible mountains of the South and
West, away from railroads, away
from the people, and spend a fortune
clearing unkind land of trees, stumps
and stones, when clean land, tillable
as an ash heap, may be had for
song, where a railroad runs across
it, in the heart of civilization? The
apple is the King of Delaware fruits;
certainly Delaware will be one of the
great apple producing States.
Professor G. A. McCue, Horticul-
turist of the Delaware Experiment
Station, recently wrote as follows:
Delaware has many peculiar advan-
tages that would cause a thoughtful
man to select her as a place to grow
apples:
"First-Upon suitable soil and
carefully selected location, Delaware
can grow an apple as good as the
best in color and second to none in
flavor.
Second - Delmarvia Peninsula
markets are right at her door, and
there is no long railroad haul to get
products upon the market.
"Third-With carefully selected
varieties we suffer less from apple
scab than many other apple growing
sections.
"Fourth-Easily obtainable water
supply for spraying purposes.
"Fifth-Easily tillable land
"Sixth-Long growing season.
"Seventh-But little damage from
frost"

Peninsula the long warm summers
and frequent rains cause this process
to be extremely active, and great
quantities of plant food are made

enable hardy legumes, such as the
cloyers, and especially crimson
clover, to grow during the greater
part of the time. This clover not
only takes up the plant food as IL
becomes available during the fall,
winter and spring, but il gathers the
inert nitrogen from the air and makes
IL worth from 10 to 20 cents per
pound. The air is largely nitrogen
and the clover plant takes a little
of this nitrogen--enough to be worth

in Delaware the apple is the king of
fruits. Fully half of the land in the
State. or 100000 acres, is admirably
adapted to growing apples, and much
of the other half can be devoted to
the same purpose with the certainty
of success. The apple has been
grown in Delaware since the State
was settled and fine native varieties
thrive everywhere. For several years
