FRUIT LIST. 



BY A. C. HAMMOND. 



At the last annual meeting of the Executive Board each mem- 

 ])er was re(iuested to furnish at this meeting lists of fruits adapted 

 to cultivation for market, also for family use, in their respective hor- 

 ticultural districts. 



Horticulturists are always unwilling to undertake this work, as 

 it is unsatisfactory to themselves as well as to those who ad()])t the 

 lists: but planters are anxiously inquiring for something to guide 

 them in the selectioii of varieties, and if we cannot nuike lists that 

 are perfect, they will at least be very helpful to the inexperienced 

 })lanter. 



If I was planting apples for market the following would be my 

 selection : 



Summer. — Red Astrachan, S()})s of Wine. 



Fr///.— Maiden's Blush, Fall Orange. 



TUm^^T.— Ben Davis, and where it is known to succeed, Willow 

 Twig, and a very few Winesa]) and .Tonathan. 



This is a very short list, but if any gentlenuin present from 

 Western Central Illinois can suggest a variety that can be safely 

 added, I shall be glad to know it.
