PRODUCING AND MARKETING
CHRISTMAS TREES.

Tho general impression Is that there
is a considerable profit in Christmas
trees as a side line for farmers.
The trade is very irregular from
year to year and the demand huctu-
ates greatly.
In New York city commission men,
handling fruit and farm produce, may
buy and sell the trees Many of the
tcoes are sold at the terminal freight
lexis by jobbers temporarily inter
csted.
In many caves statesmen accompany
the larger shipments and dispose Of
the trees themselves on what ie called
the farms" All open strip OF the city
street along the waterfront.
Spruce and balsam arc most de-
sired. but only the best specimens
bring remunerative prices. Cedar Is
worthless.
An ideal tree is evenly branched on
every side, Ia green and we'll filled out
to the tips. having al least one foot OF
clear stem At the base. The branches
are tied In to make the whole compact
for shipping.
Usually Christmas trees arc shipped
In car o on open freight cars
braced with side poles, so the ever
green's "a be piled to the level Of an
ordinary box car.
The trees are carefully graded into
bundles. A good specimen over fifteen
feet makes one bundle. but with those
ten or twelve feet long two trees are
| needed. Trees from seven to ten feet
long are bound In bundles Of three or
four. and smaller trees run four or
I'VE together. The average freight car
holds from $50 to 800 bundles or about
1900 trees. From sixty to eighty OF
the large single trees are included In
each car. ...
wholesale trading continues until

POTATO VARIETIES.

In growing almost any staple crop.
the fewer varieties raised the more
easily are they marketed. Il is a
much easier task to sell large quanti-
ties Of one variety than an equal
quantity made up Of a large number
Of varieties.

Agriculture, In which the leading COM
mercial varieties Of potatoes are sys-
tematically classified in e.even groups,
and n list Of varieties studied which
are thought to belong to each group.
In many the varieties in each
group are so nearly identical that
there seems to he no Justification for
the retention OF more than 10 per cent.
Of them.
The commercial grower should de-
termine what group or class OF pota-
toes is best adapted TO his climatic
and soil conditions. and then confne
his efforts to not more than one or two
varieties within that group. In this
way IL will be possible for him to be-
