Also, that trees may remain in a good state, the ground should be kept clean by carting away the imperfect, stung and rotten fruit. All shippers of fruit have found out that there is very apt to be a glut in the markets, and that during that time, if the fruit sells at all, it sells at a very low price. Now, the reason of this is that there is so much poor fruit put before the public. People seem to think that quantity of fruit is more desirable than quality. But the condition of our market has to be elevated; the public demands fine fruit, and must have it. For that reason it is recommended that thinning of fruit be largely resorted to. This may be done in two ways; either prune the limbs containing fruit spurs in winter, or, after the fruit is set, go over and, with thumb and finger, detach a part of the fruit. By doing this, the fruit that remains will be much larger and finer grained than otherwise, will command higher prices in the market, and yield as large returns with less expense for marketing.
