PRESENT-DAY GARDENING 



SELECTIONS FOR THE NORTHERN COUNTIES 

 AND SCOTLAND 



In Apples it is naturally the early varieties that succeed 

 best in the North. The thirteen sorts described on pages 

 27, 28, and 29 are suitable, and to these may be added the 

 seventeen varieties recommended for larger gardens. Cox's 

 Orange Pippin and Roundway Magnum Bonum should be 

 grown upon south or west walls. The following sorts also 

 will generally do well : 



Ecklinville Seedling (September). 



Bramley's Seedling (November 

 to March). 



Cellini Pippin (September). 



Hambling's Seedling (March). 



*Irish Peach (September). 



*Kerry Pippin (August and Sep- 

 tember). 



*King of the Pippins (October 

 to November). 



Peasgood's Nonsuch, on wall 

 (November). 



Potts's Seedling (September). 



*Ribston Pippin, on wall (Octo- 

 ber to December). 



*Galloway Pippin (March). 



Those marked * are for dessert, the others being for kitchen use. 



In the southern, eastern, and western counties, and in 

 Ireland, the general lists can be depended upon, and for 

 wind-swept seaside districts the six close growers recom- 

 mended for villa gardens are most suitable.
