FRUIT LIST FOR 1886.


we do not hesitate 10 do NO whenever there
are new things strongly recommended to ms
and sustained by the hest authority. Indeed,
we do not sec how II can be improved for
this section OF the country, or ~ general
list for all the Middle states. And this is the
opinion Of number Of fruit-raisers who have
criticised II, or from whom We have heard.
Some of each OF tho separate selections may
not do well upon one premises that will sue
ceed admirably ON another, even " separated
by only n single farm or line.ience Hence,
each grower must find out for himself the
particular apples, pears &c., especially
adapted to his soil and location. Thiscan be
easily done by inquiries of those who within
reasonable circuit are successful fruit
growers and whose soil Is somew hat similar
TO his own.
According to our present preference, we
should soiect the following for our own
planting, nearly all OF which we have grown
more or less successfully:
