Honest skillful grading, honest intelligent packing, and uniformity of shape of package, good quality clear through, a stamp giving the name aiid address of the producer, etc., will do more than anything else to beget confidence of the public in selling the package, and must make profits for the producer. I should speak of the subject of advertising, and I name this simply to suggest a legitimate necessary and neglected part of the business. We see very few fruit growers who are advertising their wares, and yet how important is advertising How long would the manufac turers and dealers in other commodities succeed without advertising their wares? Fruits should be properly advertised and properly sold upon guarantee of high quality, skillfully produced, and full quantity, properly graded and packed. This kind of business develops more, and is the final element in successful horticulture. INDEX TO VOLUME I, OF THE BI-MONTHLY BULLETINS. Adherents, 12. Age of Orchards, 125. Agitators, 95.
