The observing traveler is at once impressed with the intelligence of the people who are engaging in fruit-grow ing in the inter-mountain country. We find here people from all walks of life, attracted by the advantages of climate or the possibilities of money-making in a pleasant and healthful occupation. One may meet in a day's ride among the orchards, former doctors, lawyers, teachers, preachers, merchants, farmers, and young men recently graduated from an eastern university or college. It is such persons that create a demand for horticultural information, and their letters to officers of the Experiment Stations, while direct and intelligent, Often would require one to write a book in order to supply the information. We have endeavored to meet this demand in the following pages.
