By thinning out the inferior specifeaving only that which looks promising, the sap is directed into fewer channels instead of the many, the fruit being supplied with a greater proportion of nourishment, grows more rapidly, ripens sooner is improved in appearance and quality, Nor will the actual production be less, for the chances are that by measurement the quantity will be more than if no thinning | Whe reherm been practiced, the chief t being the doubling of the price owing to the superiority of the fruit, Strawberries so treated have been grown to such ns as to readily command cents per quart when inferior kinds were not in demand, And pears have been sent to our markets that sold singly at good prices, while others . were sold measurement.
