SELECT LIST OP FEUITS. 



WE have prepared the following list of Fruits, as most desirable for 

 growing in the several sections of country we have designated. It is not 

 presumed to be a perfect list, or to embrace all the valuable varieties, but 

 it is believed to embrace those most known, proved and esteemed, and 

 comprisable within the bounds of our numbers. Our list embraces, of 



Apples 40 varieties. 



Peaches 12 market do. 



Peaches 12 garden do. 



Pears 30 varieties. 



Pears on Quince 20 do. 



Sweet Cherries 12 do. 



Duke Cherries. 6 do. 



Morello Cherries 6 do. 



Plums. 15 do. 



Nectarines. 8 do. 



Quinces 3 do. 



Apricots 4 do. 



Currants 6 do. 



Hardy Grapes 4 do. 



Strawberries 6 market sorts. 



Strawberries 6 garden sorts. 



Raspberries 6 varieties. 



Gooseberries 6 do. 



We have divided the territory as follows : 



SEC. 1. Embracing Northern Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan. Northern Ohio, 

 New York, most of Pennsylvania, and the States east. 



SEC. 2. Embraces Southern Pennsylvania, Southern and Central Ohio, 

 Indiana, Illinois, Southern Iowa, Northern Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, 

 and Northern Missouri. 



SEC. 3. Includes all territory south of what is noted in the two pre- 

 ceding sections. 



These sections we use only with the Apple and Pear. With Cherries, 

 and other fruits, we give selections of the best. Perfect drainage, and 

 trees with branches near the ground, is essential to successful culture of 

 the Cherry at the South and South-west. Propagated on Morello stocks, 

 they are more hardy, and succeed better than on Mazzard or Mahaleb. 



We have also endeavored to give the use for which the variety is most 

 adapted, and also its time of ripening. In our illustrations necessary to 

 this end, T stands to designate that it is used for the table, or dessert ; M, 

 that it is profitable as a market variety ; C, that it is among the best for 

 cooking purposes : b, for baking of sweet apples.
