EXPERIMENT STATION.

EDITOR LEDGER, Feb. TO- There
having been so many inquiries as to
the best varieties of fruits to plant, we
beg space in your columns to reply to
one and all alike. The following list
has been selected by the foreman
through careful observation during the
four years he has been at the Station.
This collection, with very few excep-
tfons, has been tested at the Station,
and proven well adapted to the foot
hills. Many other varieties might
safely be added, but it has been our
aim to select simple list of early, in
termediate and late varieties for the
home. The collection contains only
choice varieties that will sell in any
market:
