that they often saw Chapman floating

II have seen commercial orchards set

the necessary capital and patience. The

Were selling 500 kinds of apple trees.
The number has been reduced, but
enough varieties are left to confuse the
amateur who is thinking of going into
the business.
Then another important matter relates
10 transportation facilities and market
conveniences. An orchard that is ten
miles from shipping point and several
hundred miles from a city has a serious
handicap. At best. apple growing is hard
and uncertain work. Only the wisest
management can keep down the over
