Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, 1881, Vol. 4 Having occasion to visit the City of Rochester in the interests of the canadian horticulturist during the past month, the opportunity was improved by making some inquiry into the disposition of the large crop of apples harvested the past season. There has been an unusually large yield of apples in the vicinity of Rochester, and we expected to hear that a great many bushels had gone to waste because there was no method whereby they could be turned to account. But such was 'not the case. A good market, had been found in the cities for all'the really sound first-class'fruit at fair prices. Then the evaporators had bought up all of the next grade and prepared them' so that they would keep for an indefinite length of time, diminished in bulk and weight so that they can be easily transported. And last of all the Cider Company had bought up all the rest, so that there was not an apple of any quality, good or bad, that had not found a market.
