been wise in keeping their list for general cultivation within 
bounds, rather than having too many varieties to select from. 
We generally get our best and greatest number of varieties from 
those persons most favorably located for fruit raising. If our 
State could be districted according to limitation of success with 
t 
certain varieties, it would be of much advantage to those just em- 
barking in fruit culture. For example—a certain portion of the 
river counties raise fruits that are wholly unadapted to the interior 
of the State. There are isolated sections in nearly every. portion 
of the State where, from the nature of the soil, elevation or prox- 
imity to considerable bodies of water, fruit can be more success- 
fully raised than in the surrounding country. Yet, to publish a 
suitable list for these locations, would be doing great injustice to 
those in favored situations, while to limit it to only those varieties 
which are hardy and successful in all portions of the State would 
do the more favored equal wrong. I would suggest that the list 
of fruits cultivated in this State for starring at the next biennial 
session of the American Pomological Society, be placed in the 
hands of a proper committee.
