Its period of ripening, unlike that of other fruits, extends nearly or quite through the year. By making judicious selections of summer, autumn and winter sorts, a constant succession can be easily obtained of this indispensable fruit for family use. There is no farm crop which, on the average, will produce one-fourth as much income per acre as will a good Apple orchard. The average price paid for the fruit is steadily on the in- crease, and the immense demand for home consumption, foreign shipping, canning and evap- orating, assures us that it will continue to increase. We especially recommend planting late- keeping winter varieties. If Apples are planted at the rate of fifty trees per acre, thirty feet apart each way, rows of peach trees can be planted between the apples, which, growing more quickly than the Apple trees, soon protect them from winds, and thus prove a great benefit to them.
