A SELECT LIST OF FRUITS 



FOR 



SCOTLAND AND THE EXTREME NORTH OF ENGLAND. 



By Mr. Charles McIntosh, Dalkeith Palace Gardens. 



The abbreviations employed are as follows : — St., standard ; Dwf.- 

 dwarfs for open quarters ; Esp., espalier; T., table; K., kitchen use ; 

 Pvg., preserving ; S. G., for small gardens ; E., east aspect ; W., west 

 aspect; N., north aspect; S., south aspect; E. V., early vinery; 

 L. v., late vinery. The month is given in which they usually ripen ; 

 still season, soil, and situation, often make a difference of days and 

 weeks — more especially in the ripening of Pears. 



Those marked * require walls in most parts of Scotland. Those marked f succeed 

 well as espaliers. The rest, with the exception of Small's Golden Pippin, which I only 

 know by Mr. Ingram's report, ripens freely in most places as standards.
