IRISH GARDENING. 



A List of the most Desirable Varieties 

 of most Kinds of Fruits, 



Thr list, was compilod by the Boyal Hoitirultural 

 Society's Fruit Coiuiuittee and sent to about a 

 hundred experienced gardeners in Great Britain 



one question (15). wliich dealt with market 

 varieties of apples. 



The seh'itions will be found most interesting 

 and instructive, and should prove exceptionally 

 useful to intending planters, as it is often a source 

 of wow'y to tlie inexperienced to select varieties 

 most likely to succeed.. 



Tlie voters for Ireland were Sir F. W. Moore,

 replied. 



They were requested to state the varieties 

 which were found best and most satisfactory in 

 each voter's own district and to confine them- 

 selves strictly to the list submitted. They were 

 also particularly requested to give their opinion 

 from a private garden point of view, except in
