Excerpt from Fruit Farming for Profit (Rev. To 1911): A Practical Treatise Embracing Chapters on All the Most Profitable Fruits, With Detailed Instructions for Successful Commercial Culture on the Kent System The author's reply is, that, living as he does in the greatest fruit - growing County, and being in touch with the largest growers elsewhere, he is still perfectly convinced that there is room for extension, but on modern lines.
