APPLES FOR SPECIAL DISTRICTS, SOILS, AND FORMS OF TREES. 



From torrid to arctic zone plants and trees naturally attain degrees of health and 

 fruitfulness corresponding to their environment, or appropriate requisites of heat, sun- 

 light, air, moisture, and soil, with a growing and a resting season. They are vigorous or 

 unhealthy, fruitful or barren, as those conditions favour or disfavour. Some have a wide 

 range or distribution the Crab is one, and its character is determined by climate and soil . 

 Heat beyond a certain amount withers its leaves, and dries up the juices of its fruits ; 

 cold, oppositely, dwarfs its energies, and impairs its productiveness. Nowhere, perhaps, 

 are the essential conditions better proportioned than on the Kentish rag, the weald of 

 Sussex, on the lava beds of South Devon, in Shropshire, in the Lothians of Scotland, and 

 North of Ireland, in the dales and vales of the Midlands the washings and deposits 

 of ages from the surrounding hills ; nowhere, in fact, is climate more favourable or soil

 of the British Isles. 



The surface of the United Kingdom is so diversified that it is scarcely possible to 

 find a county in which suitable situations do not exist for the production of apples of a 

 quality suited to the requirements of every homestead, and the supply in most cases
