Note.— The question of adaptation of varieties is one so largely dependent upon local con- 

 ditions of soil, elevation and aspect, that a general list will not answer fully the wants of 

 every planter, and at best can only be a general guide in the selection of varieties. 



For more specific directions, the following rules and lists are furnished by the committee 

 chosen for this purpose: 



1. Locations comparatively elevated and well drained, with a cool northern aspect and fine 

 gravelly clay soil, not very rich, may extend the general list named above to an indefinite 

 extent, with fair pro pect of success in southern and eas'ern districts of the state. But for 

 warm, sheltered locations and rich soils, which induce a great growth, no section of our 

 state can safely plant other than those varieties known to be extremely hardy. 



2. The best guide in the selection of varieties is for each to plant largely of such varieties 

 as are found successful in locations similar to that each must plant upon. For all unfavora- 

 ble locations, and extreme northern districts, only the most hardy, well tried apples of the 

 Russian or Siberian type should be chosen for general planting. 



3. In the extreme northern districts, only the crown of the hills should be chosen for the 

 orchard, with a firm soil and porous subsoil, and if these materials are wanting naturally, 

 they should be supplied artificially.
