237 pp. A narrative of farming life for young readers, illustrated with black-and-white photographs throughout. Map of Apple-Top Farm on endpapers. From the jacket: "This intimate story recounts the experiences of a boy and girl, city bred, in helping to build a successful fruit and vegetable farm. They have an absorbing time of it. There is an old orchard to rejuvenate, a new one to carry along; there are small fruits to propogate; there is a vegetable garden. There is the big question of marketing to solve. The reader goes through it all with them - their daily experiences in making the big venture. It is an engaging narrative, with a valuable background of a host of facts about growing vegetables and fruits."
