ORCHARDS. 479 



mote from towns, would confine his attention to the choice of 

 winter varieties, or those which yield the first quality of cider, 

 while all are desirous of planting a succession at least for do- 

 mestic purposes. The synonymes are so numerous of some 

 varieties, that they are scarcely known in two states by the 

 same names. Our tastes are extremely variant. With some, 

 size is every thing; with others, colour; and others again re- 

 gard as material the flavour, the rarity, or the qualities for 

 bearing, or late keeping. 



The following list is from the treatise above referred to (by 

 J. ARMSTRONG, of Dutchess), and is designed to exhibit those 

 sorts which stand highest in horticultural estimation, for the 

 hardiness and prod'uctiveness of the tree, the excellence of the 

 fruit, and the variety of uses to which they may be applied. 

 We have identified the names (so far as we could) with those 

 given by KENRICK, in his New American Orchardist.
