rieties of Siberians prove more productive, and of higher quality 

 and size grown in this northern region than when grown south ; 

 the trees being more healthy and free from blight. The same 

 may be said of the Kussians, that they are much more healthy 

 and productive in their northern limit than south. Both these 

 species in their hybrids are of great importance in our northern 

 pomology, and both find their largest use and best develop- 

 ment in the north. We believe in home grown fruits for every 

 land and clime where men should dwell, and with pleasure see 

 the onward march of production northward, through such worthy 

 species.
