 subsoil, and even then it \vill not always succeed. 



POTT'S SEEDLING. See Standards. 



PRINCE ALB:<RT (LANE'S). K. Oct. to Jan. Large, 

 handsome fruit, pale green, streaked bright red ; a very 

 iirm apple. It has only come to the front rank during the 

 last few years, having been much too long kept in 

 obscurity. One of the very best to grow for profit, being 

 a litting companion to Stirling Castle, which variety it 

 succeeds. 



STIRLING CASTLE. K. Sept. Large, round, and some- 

 what flat, good quality, and immense and certain bearer. 

 One of the very best apples to give a return quickly, and 

 one that does well on almost all soils. 



WORCESTER PEARMAIN. See Standards. 



Supplementary List. 



The above may be supplemented by the following 

 varieties, many of which are scarcely second to the fore- 

 going, and indeed two or three of the newer varieties be- 

 low enumerated are likely to prove more valuable than 

 some of the foregoing. 



Alfriston, Baumann's Red Winter Reinette, Bismarck, 

 Col. Vaughan, Golden Spire, Loddington, Lady Sudeley, 

 Mank's Codlin, Northern Dumpling, Pcasgood's Nonsuch, 

 Professor, Ross Nonpareil^ The Queen, Yorkshire Beauty.

 P3*riform ; skin, pale brown. A very rich melting pear, 

 grown largely for market.

 quality, and prolific bearing; very hardy.
