الصفحة 53 - It will in this res[iect follow the history of grains and edible roots, and from a local and limited use the apple and the pear will become articles of universal demand. The reasons of such an opinion are few and simple. It is a fruit always palatable, and as such will be welcome to mankind, whatever their tastes, if it can be brought within their reach. The Western States will before many years be forested with orchards. The fruit bears exportation kindly. Thus there will be a supply, a possibility...
الصفحة 52 - Bent up for inspection. Our rule is to reject every apple -which, the habits of the tree and the quality of its fruit being considered, has a superior or equal already in cultivation.
