A home orchard of one acre of carefully selected fruits and varieties is usually sufficient to furnish a generous supply of fruit throughout the season, and a canning surplus for winter. By planting in fall and winter more time is had for the thorough preparation prepa-ration of the soil, time is saved, trees will become well established before the growing season and the conserved moisture lessens the per cent of dead trees.
