sons, either in taking from or adding to it :
but in regard to the list as a whole we can
see no just grounds for disturbing it, though
we do not hesitate To do so whenever there
are new things strongly recommended to us
and sustained by the best authority. Indeed,
we do not see how it can be improved for this
section OF country, or as general list for all
the Middle states And this is the opinion OF
number OF fruit raisers who have criticised
1t, or from whom We have heard. Some oi
each OF the separate selections may not do
well upon one premises that will succeed
sdnlraply on another, even il separated by
only single farm or a line fence. Hence,
each grower must find out for himself the
particular apples, pears, &c, especially "
adapted to his soil and LOCATION. THIS can be
easily done by inquiries of those who within
reasonable circuit are successful fruit
growers and whose soil is somewhat similar
to his own.
According to our present preference, we
should select the following Tor our own plant
ing, nearly all of which we have grown more
or less successfully:
