CONDENSED FRUIT LIST. 

 As a convenience to those who may wish to consult it, the follow- 

 ing condensed fruit list is re-published from last year's transactions. 

 There are many new varieties offered by the nurserymen, some of 

 which we know to be good, but they have not been sufficiently tested 

 in Maine to deserve a place in our list. It is hoped that fruit 

 growers of the State will report on the new varieties the}^ are testing, 

 that others may have the full benefit of their experience. Many are 

 deserving of trial, but for this purpose there is need only of a tree or 

 two ; or better still a few scions set on older trees will soon give the 

 information we desire regarding them. Those printed in italics are 

 considered the best in quality and those followed by a star (*) are 

 the most pofitable.
