STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 255 



I have sixty other varieties that I would not plant again, or advise oth- 

 ers to do so. 



SIBERIAN APPLES. 



Of the Siberian family the Large Red, Yellow, and Montreal Beauty 

 are good varieties, and one tiee of each is sufficient for a family. 



I have not consulted books in making this list, but have made my own 

 comments. 



Yours respectfully, 



S. G. MiNKLER.
