Twenty-two varieties are contained in this list. One variety, 
the Wealthy, is put down for trial, and one variety, the Haas, is 
double starred, and this over the Duchess, one of the most hardy, 
productive and best varieties in the State. It has occurred to us 
that this list is a little defective and needs some revision. Let us 
take a glance at the varieties on exhibition at the Centennial, and 
also at our State Fair, and see if they entirely correspond with 
the above list. The Hawthornden and Maiden’s Blush are neither

list of standard apples sent for exhibition at the Centennial, we 
find there were of the Duchess of Oldenburg twelve contributors; 
Fameuse, eleven; Haas. eight; Golden Russet, six; Saxton, six; 
Wealthy, Russian varieties, Red Astrachan, Fall Orange, Perry 
Russet, Utter’s Red, Price’s Sweet, Fall Pearmain, three; Ben. 
Davis, Keswick Codling, Lady Apple, two. In the remainder of 
the list no two contributors exhibited the same variety. 
In that of those sent for the State Fair, there were of Duchess 
of Oldenburg, ten contributors; Fameuse, eight; Haas, nine; 
American Golden Russet, Ben Davis, Pomme de Gris, Saxton, 
Tetofsky, Wealthy, Utter’s Red, four; (Remark, Utter’s Red
