or the Summer varieties. those marked
with star may be recommended for almost
all situations where apples thrive at oil, ex'
cep. that the Early Harvest requires good
soil and culture TO bring il to Perfection
Having these, il is very productive and cx-
ccllcnt. The early Strawberry is a weak
grower, and for that reason should be grated
on grown trees where it can be done. The
Rcd Asiraehan is a very snowy, productive,
and profitable variety, and :Ooi for the mar
Ike, and for cooking, but second rate for the
table, being rather nustere.
or the Autumn varieties, the Porter,
Gravcnstein, Mother. and Leland's Pirpin,
are in srtry respect 6rs. rate fruits, being free
growers, good bearers, fuo favored, and eI'
csllcn,. They are very profitable. The lat
ter might, perhaps, havo been classed with
the winter fruit. for although it is in eating
in Oct. and Nov. it will keep till past mid
winter. bn, loses its fns favor ai(er Janu-
ary.
The Duchess Of oldcnburg Is good sized
striped iruit,a Gns grower, very productive
frs, rate for cooking aud pretty good for the
table. One OF the most desirable and prof,a-
bic market fruits.
The Merieo Is Connecticu Apple OF su.
pcriOr excellence, much resembling the Bal
dwin in size and looks, and fully equal to It
in quality. 1t is productive. 1t ripens in
September. and the only objection to !. Is,
thatit is no. afrce grOwer,and should, there
fore, bc grated on grown trees.
The Holden PiPpin and Mdidtn's Blush
are both very valuable and profitable market
fruits. They are very FREQ growers, grca,
bearers, large, snowy, and frst-ra,c for cook
ing,and very good though no. quite frs,-ratc
for the table. Tho Former requires good.
strong soil, and good culture, to bring II up
70 its full sine.
The Dyer or Spice, called Pommo Royal
in Coles Fruit Book, Is Of the very finest
quality, but no. so productive Us some other
kinds. No amateur should be without Il,
and we arc no, sure but ], would be prO6'a-
bic for the market, as,when knoun,i. would
always bring an extra price.
Tho Shepherd Ssreefing is q Connecticut
apple, raised in Plainfeld and that vicinity.
II is. we think, tho finest swee, apple for
the table that we have ever eaten. II is
very large and snowy, striped with dark
red, and exceedingly tender, juicy, and
sweet, ripening in 0,iober and November.
