Whilst it is in every way most desirable that cottagers should cultivate fruit for their home consumption as food by their own families, there is very little doubt that those undertaking its culture on small holdings, will mostly do so with the view to realize their produce, more or less as a source of profit. As a profitable occupation it will, however, be found that on a limited area, or where land is very dear, or where a regular avocation is sought for, the year round, those fruits. Will be cultivated, mainly around large towns, that are grown under glass, in preference to orchard trees or other hardy sorts.
