 Mr. Eunn's choice of varieties. — It is a difScult matter among 

 so many varieties of exceptional merit to name those possessing the 

 greatest number of valuable points, as different methods of growing 

 and varied soils will often so change the character of a variety that 

 one is compelled to constantly revise his opinion.
