THE FLORIST. 



APPLES ADAPTED TO THE MIDLAND PAETS OF SCOTLAND, 



IX ADDITION TO THOSE IN PRECEDING LIST. 



We have a vile lot of Clydesdale and Carss of Gowrie Apples, which nobody 

 but those who grow them can eat. IMy own collection is extensive, consisting 

 of most of the English sorts ; the majority do well, but it would not be a fair 

 criterion, as we are warm and dry. There are very few Apples grown in the 

 gardens along the southern border, or in the highlands, worth notice. There 

 are exceptions, however, to this ; for along the coast of the JMoray Frith as 

 fine Apples and Pears are grown as in the south of England ; the same may 

 be said of some spots near the sea, between Edinburgh and Berwick, and 

 again, strange to say, in Strathearn, in the centre of Perthshire. 



f- This IS valuable more on account of its hardiness and great bearing than for any 

 other merit beyond its being a good market-taking fruit, and capital for the cook.
