Apple List-Worthy Of Attention

larly those who don't read the papers,
go away from them generally about as
wise as they went to them, because
they found no one or any means taken to
explain the merits, especially of the
productions of the country and in regard
to which they had much to learn. But
there was one enterprising exhibitor at
our last District Fair, Mr.. J. l.. Smith,
an extensive nurseryman and orchard
est, who set a good example to others,
which should be adopted at all our
fairs. In order that all who examined
his different varieties Of apples display
ed there, and accurately named, might
learn the value of each, as we'll an the
trees, posted on board opposite his
collection, the following, which we copy
or the benefit of our readers. Under
