E. I. Greening, a good apple, but too tender for our climate. 

 Early HaWest, good apple, but dosen't always succeed with us. 

 Cooper's Market, medium apple. 

 Eambo, medium apple. 

 Early Joe, an inferior apple. 

 Of crab apples, we find the Transcendant and the Montreal Beauty 

 rapid growers and profuse bearers. 



This list of apples will probably be considered meagre and im- 

 perfect. I may remark, as an excuse for its want of amplitude, that 

 the information I have been enabled to obtain on the subject is 

 scanty too. 



I will only add to this portion of my subject, that it is generally 

 allowed by us that a well drained loam soil, lying to the south-east, is 

 the most favorable for orchards. The soil, of course, requires cultivating 

 and manuring, and ashes are found to constitute a good fertilizer. 

 Nor should the mulching of newly planted trees, nor constant pruning,, 

 as early as possible in the* spring, be neglected. Where it is desirable 

 to secure handsome specimens for exhibition or other exceptional 

 purposes, the thinning out of the fruits, more especially the removal 

 of such as are small or imperfect, must be attended to. 

 * Good keeping apples.
