It produces full crops of all kinds of fruits. This red clay may not always come to the surface, but may lie a few inches below a fi*iable sandy ioam. Fruits gain a richer color where this is the case than with the clay surface. Every grade of Delaware soil, however, responds in a remarkable manner to tillage and manures. Peo- ple who are acquainted with the agri- cultural conditions in other states and countries speak of Delaware soil as "kindly," and this word is very ap- propriate and expressive in this con- nection. Fully half of the land in the state, or 640,000 acres, is admirably adapt- ed 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 set- tled and fine native varieties thrive everywhere. For several years early apples have been a prominent feature, as the conditions are especially favor- able for their profitable production. These early varieties mature after the winter apples are out of the market
