Some varieties 

 thrive best in one 

 locality and kind 

 of soil, and others 

 in another, there 

 being nearly as 

 much difference in 

 this respect in the 

 several kinds, as 

 in those of apples, 

 pears, or any of the 

 varieties of fruit. 

 The early kinds 

 are distinguished 

 from the late by

 and decay of the 

 tops.

 are in a measure unaf 

 fected by soil or climate, 

 although in a general 

 sense largely modified by 

 both. Many of the old 

 favorites are still culti

 Some of the varieties 

 that are quite popular in 

 many localities are the
