Updated: May 28, 2025

Remember that it is far more profitable to raise twenty baskets of fine, well-shaped, clean, handsome apples or peaches or any other hand-eaten fruit, than to raise a hundred barrels of stuff that is good only for the common drier or for the mill or hogpen. Care and common sense are the jackscrews to use in raising fine fruit. The apple is the great American fruit for extensive orcharding.
