WAYSIDE FRUIT.
The cultivation of fruit trees along the high roads of France is being extended year by year. Following the example of the Government, the communes in certain departments adopt the practice •as a sort of revenue, and now it has become an important branch of national industry. In Germany, Belgium, and the Duchy of Luxemburg also the system is being rapidly developed. Last year the fruit harvest from the roads of Wurtemburg amounted to more than £120,000 as compared with £40,000 in 1878; for the last 13 years Saxony has gained a revenue of about £68,000 from the same source, and Belgium’s three-quarters of a million fruit trees, planted along the roads in 1894, now furnish £40,000.
