Another factor which hint enleritl Into the, success of I ho apple rowei of those status in that they have fiiiin, that certain localities are adapted to certain varieties, and thoso are the nncH they yrow alinOHt exclusively.

Thin is one of the tlii iih which tin horticultural leaders are onileavorinn to impress upon the minds of tin KioweiH everywhere- to row these vurietics of fruits of all kinds to which tlieir soil, location, climate, etc., are especially adapted, 'i'liii cuinpuUn of education is a slow unit tor not ice how, in spite of this, (In i ton Davis apple, for instance, Inn boon planted all over the country- 1ml these northwestern growers have learned the lesson early and are prolll liiK by it. Still anohter factor in the huccc.- of these Krowers in the northwest ih tlieir system of oraniat ion. Nearly every locality lias a strong ordaina Hon fur the niailictiiiK of fruits -at least, every locality where the best results have been obtained has such an oixanizat ion, and hero again wt can well all'oid to study the inetliod of our western bret hern. Ill reading the articles in this issue of the Fruit lirowei, therefore, wi hope our reuders w ill consider, I'm their own good, some of the factors which have entered into the success of the fruit growers of the Northwest. For they have been huccoshIuI, very success some of (lie stories in this art iele sound like fairy tales, yet I lie w l iter is a M Uso rian, and, true In the tradition ol the slate, he had te betaken to many of the orchard.-, where lie could see fur hiinstdl ju-t what; is lining done. We should attribute much of the success of 1 he Western growers, then, to the follow ing four points : 1. They try In tin, I vai It les w hieh reach the highest digive of perfection under the conditions which i-i-l in their orchards, mid lln-u grnw Hi,..,,, variet ies exclusively. 'J. Having selected the right ari etion, t hey endeavor to grow I In- I'm est fruit. Unit can bo produced, mid to this end they sprnv and cultivate their t rocs very cai el'nlly. I. Alter the fruit has been iluced, it. is carefully giadcd packed, honestly luniked, and sold m, its merits. I. To secure t he l est vices for tlieir fruits, the growers hae lonned strong orgaiual ions tor the market ing of their produce, and IIu'oul'Ii this co opcrat it in they have been umi derfully success! nl. These art icles were not vv 1 it t n to boom the northwestern country, t,n we have nothing to sell in that see tion, but solely w it h a desire Ingi,,, the niembors ot the Fruit tlrowci l''ainily the benellt. of .some points which were picked up in a live weeks' trip through a section where hint Krowing has been very prolitable.
