100 SMALL FKUIT CULTURIST. 



ADDITIONAL LIST. 



There are probably a few among the following varieties 

 that are equal in many respects to those already described 

 But as they do not appear at the present time to have any 

 extended reputation for excellence, we must conclude that 

 they do not possess sufficient good qualities to make them 

 generally popular. 



I have personally tested the greater portion of them, and 

 do not consider them worthy of an extended description 

 or recommendation ; especially when we have so many 

 varieties which are far better. 



Still, I do not feel called upon to make up a rejected list 

 of my own, because no one individual is competent to de- 

 cide as to what varieties are best adapted to the various 

 soils or sections of the country. 



The originators of some of the following kinds may feel 

 aggrieved because their seedlings are placed in this list ; 

 yet, as these varieties have been placed prominently before 

 the public for many years, it is reasonable to conclude that 

 they are wanting in good qualities, or that the fruit grow- 

 ers have but little confidence in the assertions of the origina- 

 tors. Be this as it may, it is not to be supposed that 

 our wide awake and intelligent fruit growers would allow 

 such valuable varieties, as some of the following kinds are 

 said to be (by the originators), to remain in almost total 

 obscurity if they did possess any considerable merit. 



These remarks apply only to a few of the newer varie- 

 ties that have been brought forward in the last ten years, 

 because there are some that have been widely disseminated 

 and highly appreciated for a time, but were afterwards 

 thrown out to give room for those that were better. 



It is quite probable that some of those that have been 

 discarded will again be brought forward, and under new 

 systems of cultivation prove to be worthy of greater com' 

 mendation than they have heretofore received.
