The list just given comprises twenty-eight 

 varieties of the apple. For general cultiva- 

 tion in the interior of New England, we con- 

 sider this the best list of that number of va- 

 rieties of which the reputation is as yet well 

 established. We have prepared it with a 

 great deal of care, and have confidence that 

 it will prove satisfactory to the fruit-growing 

 public who consult it. 



Crab Apples are sometimes desirable for 

 preserving, &c. The best two are the Yellow 

 Siberian and the Red Siberian. If any one 

 prefers that these should be of a dwarfish 

 size, he should select trees that have been 

 worked upon paradise stocks. 



Those who would go beyond the limits of 

 the above descriptive list, can select from the 

 following : 



Summer -4?>/jfes,-^Astracan, Benoni, River 

 (a capital fruit, but the tree is a very poor 

 bearer,) &c. &c.
