Secretary of State Horticultural Society : 



In complying with your request, to furnish a list of such apples as 

 succeed well in niy locality or region — comprising the counties of Ken- 

 dall, Du Page, Will, Grundy, and La Salle — I give a list of those which 

 have succeeded well with mc, and with others, as far as I know, after 

 twenty-five years' exjoerience, and such as I would plant again, with 

 reasons why I \\ould plant them. 



SU.MMER VARIETIES. 



The first on the list is the Early Harvest — not very profitable, but 

 we have no variety to take its place. 



Red yune — Salable fruit tree; a good bearer; Hal )le to overbear; a 

 slow gi-ower and hardy. 



Befioni — The best in its season ; salable tree ; an upright grower. 



Duchess of Oldenburg — Fruit always fair; good size; excellent for 

 cooking; very salable. 



Early Pcnnock — Fruit good size; tree a good bearer, and hartly.
