,,s.ss varieties Of Apples to Plant.
Ii > vel, established fact thai

r;s q well established fact that
certain varieties cf lfiits are peculiar
|. aaapted TO particular location, anil
when remove4 from sach districts i.lay
n ,l4ly ie,erierate n Na'ne, or iaii en-
iirely. and furthermore, ii Is becoming
pretty well settled among hor,icultur-
lists that no one variety can be perfect
ii adapted to All conditions Of soii and
climate. For instance tho variety Of
-fs3se that prodaeus the famous Jo-
hannisberg wine removed but few
uaiies from It's chosen home. produces
q wine Of only ordinary character,
The Concord grape makes fine wine
in Missouri: IN New York it will not
maSe wine II an. The Newtown Pip
pin is hne in New York ana poor in
New England. St Lawrence Is ;hirl
rate ia OHIO, bu; in Northern Iowa is
mag aiiicient.
81 it IA with all traits, anl i; is only
by experiments in each section OF
country tha: we can decide what VAR
ie,ips are adapted to is peculiar cir
e2Nstances.
Suppose a maa from New England
should come to Northern Iowa and
bring with him Young apple trees OF
Baldwin, r. l. GreeHing, Fall Pippin.
Dc, 81, sorts that he had beei accns-
toned to crow in the perfection IN the
land az Ills birth. lie plants them out
on the prairie near Ai- new home, and
in feV years they al die. He at once
saws that apples can't be raised here
for he has proved i. by a fair trial
Now the fact is that he has proved no
such thing. lie has only proved that
cert il iinde "a frait that will grow in
New England mil, not grow ia North
.rn Iowa.
Suppose this mans neighbar also
should plan; an orchard. consist 2 ot
Ol3eaburg. Saxten, Fameuse, &c.
With rational treatment he would
sion have large healthy trees and
abundant frnit Of finest quality, and
e5uld testify that ,lis is 4 splendid
place for apples and perhaps woadcr
why lis neighbor failed.
In a country new as this it is not 10
be expected that list ofvarie,ies can
be made ont that is perfect. Yet dur
iar the last dozen wears mach has
been learned through an extensive and
costly experience. And from the
thousands OF kinds Of apples caltiya-
ted. few have proved themselves
worthy of orr confidence. Though we
have learned much, Yet much more
remains 10 be learned, and any list
now made viii Without doubt be con-
etantly amended, as each succeeding
wear adds 20 our knoS Sle6ge. Some
Of the sorts that ue now esteem will
be superseded by Others of greater
value and new kinds viii be constant
II added until our catalogues become
SIS long and perfect rs those Of our
Eastern fiends.

saiion in Northern Iowa. 1t embraces

ductive. and q good quality; and any
