Profits of Apple Orchards. By Jno. B. Durand. In the discussion of this subject we are met by different questions, which in all probability will require different answers.

Under such circumstances we would most certainly reply that orchards do jot pay.

The varieties named fra by this society at the last meeting Ww for a commercial orchard will give the above results.
