Apples for Southern Ohio.
Mr.. M. B BATEHAM:- Will you please
make out and publish in the Cultivator
list OF apples adapted for Southern Ohio
say for an orhard of 100 trees, for farm
er's family and oblige, yours &C.,
SAMUEL BARR, Amanda. o.
In complying with the above request,
viii name such apples as are known to sue
ceed we'll inmost parts of Southern Ohio,
and generally throughout the Southwest
srn country; bnt it should be understood
that in certain localities, especially in the
rich valleys of rivers, some Of the best va
rieties are subject to such maladies as bitter
rot, fungus, leaf rust etc, for which no rem
edy or preventive has been discovered.
have omitted some varieties of excellent
Southern apples which are not generally
known as yet, and the trees cannot be pro-
cured; at the nurseries, except of very
small size-indeed, do not suppose that
all Of those named in the selection can be
found of good size at any one nursery In
the country, at the present time, as there
is great scarcity of the best varieties of
apple trees. Hence l have in some cases
named several varieties of similar qualities
which may serve as substitutes for each
other. The number of sorts may seem
greater than is needed by most families,
butt 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, If their orchards contained large
assortment of the best varieties adapted
for all seasons and purposes.
The selection is intended for an orchard
of100 trees, to embrace about 40 vari-
eties designed for family use, and extend
ing through the entire season. The fig
urs before each name designates the num-
beroft trees would plant of that variety.
Names in itaic are synonymous with those
just preceding.
