One of the greatest needs of orchardists and gardeners in this new region, is very full and frequent quotations from markets. All such quotations regularly given for a series of years would be a guide of great value. The value would be greater still, if it were possible to make quotations from different points of supply and markets of consumption, for instance: New York, Baltimore, Chicago, Kansas City, Salt Lake and San Francisco, or others. Being without information, the orchardist is at the mercy of the commission or packing house, and the buyer for retail purposes is not much better off. Besides, in this Rocky Mountain region where fruit-tree planting is occupying a great deal of attention, and where it is of the greatest importance to plant the best varieties for the markets which must consume the produce ten years hence, the need of some reliable guide is greatly felt. There can be no surer guide than the open market, and any concern which will give regular and reliable quotations of some of the largest markets will be regarded by the gardener and orchardist as a benefactor to his business. - Arthur Boyle, Santa Fe, N.
