* NoTH. — The qU'-stion of adaptation of varieties is one so largely dependent upon local 

 conditions of soil, e evalioa and aspect that a general list wi I not answer ful'y the wanes 

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



For more specific directions, ihe following irules are furnished by the committt© chosen 

 for th's purpose: 



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

 limestone clay soil, not very rich, may extend the general list named above to an indefi- 

 nite extent, with fair prospect of j-uc-ess in southern and eastern districts of the state. 

 But for warm, sheltt-red location and rich soils, which induce a great growth, no section of 

 our stare 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 largi^ly of such varie- 

 ties as are found successful in locati'jns similar to that each must plant upon. For a 1 un- 

 favorable locations, and extreme northern districts, only the most hurjy, well tried apples 

 of the Russian or Siberian types sluiuld be chosen for general planting. 



8. In the ex'reme northern districts, only the crown of the hil s should be chosen for the 

 orchard, with a Arm soil and par >us subsoil, and if their materials are wanting naturally 

 they i-h uld b'? supplied artificially. 



4. Better plant but few varieties.
