eral y,ars pis', and have had a ,olerably flir
opportunity Of ascertaining to some good de-
gree what apples are best suited to ibe'c 20
calities. would therefore recommend for

trachan Rel, Benoni, Early Harvest. Golden

person could select good orcl ard Of cloce
fruit, from the very earliest to the very latest.
II | were g1ing to plant m orchard for my
self, ] would not aim to have near 80 many
varieties rs most persons do, but would select
from the foregoing list few Of the bet Sum
.mer and Fall varieties, aud would elect from
the Winter TT some Ave ~ ak Of the leading
and mos, profitable varieties, 80 AZ to get at
least seventy Winter trees to every hundred
trees planted, as Winter fruit il always the
most profitable. In my Winter lit .hould
want Fen Davis, Rawles Janet Wine Sap,
None Such Smiths Cider, and Rome Beauty,
and Il my aim was to have long keeping,
would al LansinbuFp, Shocklcy, and Small
Romantic. As to the time that apples should
he gathered. I would state that my judgment
is that very many persons let their fruit injure
greatly by not eatheringsoo enough. think
that all apples arr better hy being taken from
the tree as soon as they will bear it--as soon
as they are turning ripe enough to use. Hence
would no, let them hang on the tree 10 get
fully ripe, but would prefer to rpen my Sum
mer and Fall appl-s in house, and am OF
the opinion that Winter apples should he
gathered from the first to the 18th Of October,
varying to suit the seasonsl, and, when gath
cred, put them in house, 20 as u shut oG the
light, endcavoring at the same time to avoid
mixing the different vari, tics together, as Il is
an established fac; that they always keep bet
ter when sersrated for this reason, among
many others, would prefer to have bot few
varieties Of keeping apples. BY early gather
ing and tfren letting them remain in ibe-house
until cold weaiher is approaching, and then
asserting out all the specked rotten once, you
can put them sway in your cellars or your
apple houae, oryou can bury item in the
ground, IL YOU Will do 80 N such way as to
keep tie earth from coming in contact with
the fruit, and they will Keep Will"
