SELECT LIST OF VARIETIES, ADAPTED TO DIFFERENT LOCALI- 

 TIES OF THE UNION. 



IN the body of this work, the type used for the names of 

 varieties, will enable the inexperienced cultivator to pre- 

 pare select lists of greater or less extent, a few of the most 

 valuable being in capitals, a larger number of less general 

 value in small capitals, and a still larger number in italics. 

 But as the same sort does not often succeed alike in all re- 

 gions, it becomes desirable to obtain lists of those "fruits best 

 adapted to particular localities. The following are given 

 for this purpose.
