THE FRUIT GROW&K o 



of Kent ; Huntingdon Codlin ; Norfolk Bearer, and others, are ail enwrapped in 

 local associations, and possess advantages for special purposes and certain localities 

 that it is not wise to disregard. Some of these varieties are included in the selections, 

 as deserving attention in certain districts until the claims of better varieties can be 

 proven. Trees of local varieties, producing indifferent fruit, may often be rendered 

 doubly profitable in three or four years by grafting them with improved varieties. Those 

 that are healthy make admirable stocks for free-bearing profitable sorts. Some of these 

 do not succeed well on stems of their own, but are productive of fine fruit when grafted 

 on older trees. In no case should persons be deterred from planting trees through lack 

 of knowledge of any locality. The selections are framed with a due regard to require- 

 ments of location and soil. All the varieties enumerated are hardy, but should any of 

 them from peculiarity of circumstances not prove satisfactory in growth or fruit, they 

 should be re-grafted with those which are found satisfactory.
