Excerpt from Bush-Fruits Large areas of some Of the bush-fruits are grown at times, but their more important place is in diversified fruit growing. Under exceptional conditions, with an assured market at hand, the growing Of large areas of a single fruit may be wise, but under normal conditions it is likely to be fraught with disappointment. The production and consumption Of strawberries is nearly or quite as great now as ever, but the tendency is apparently away from larger areas, the total product being grown by a much larger number Of men, most Of whom supply the de mands of their own locality, rather than depend on the wider wholesale markets Of the country. This tendency is doubtless wise, for the home market is Often the best. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
