Mr.. M. B. BArEHAn:-Will you
please make ont and publish in
the Cultivator a list Of apples
adapted for Southern 0hio-say
for an orchard Of 100 trees, for a
farmers family, and oblige, yours,
s. BARR, Amanda, q.
In complying with the above
request, / will name such apples
a. are known to succeed we'll in
most parts Of Southern Ohio, aud
generally throughout tho South
western country; but II should be
understood that in certain locali-
ties, especially in the rich valleys
OF rivers, some OF tho best yarie-
ties arc subject to such maladies
as bitter rot, fungus, leaf rust,
etc., for which no remedy or pre-
ventive has been discovered. /
have omitted some varieties Of
excellent Southern apples which
are not generally known us yet,
and the trees cannot be procured
at the nurseries, except Of very
small size-Indeed, | do not sup
pose that all Of those named in
the selection can DO found ofgood
size at any one nursery in tho
country, at the present time, as
there is a great scarcity of the
best varieties Of apple trees
Hence l have 10 some cases NAM
cd several varieties Of similar
qualities, which may serve assuh-
stitutes for each other. The
number Of sorts may seem great
or than is needed by most fami-
lies, but it Is not as great as |
would plant for my own family
use; and | am convinced that
most farmers families would use
more apples for food, and find
much advantage thereby, IL their
orchards contained a larger assort-
ment Of the best varieties adapt
ed for all seasons and purposes.
The selection is intended for
an orchard Of 100 trees, to em-
brace about 40 varieties designed
for family use, and extending
through the entire season. The
figure before each name desig-
mates the number Of trees | wo'd
plant Of that variety. Names in
italic are synonymous with those
just preceding.
