 the most valuable varieties for cidei 

 to be found in the country. 



In the west and other portions of 

 our widely-extended country many 

 new varieties of choice apples are 

 constantly coming into use. The 

 above are varieties found at most of 

 the nurseries in the Eastern States. 



Besides these, there are a large 

 quantity cultivated throughout the 

 country of every shade of merit. The 

 Newton pippin, Baldwin, Rhode Isl- 

 and greening, and Roxbury russet- 

 ing are the most valuable for expor- 

 tation, both on account of their fla- 

 vour and hardihood. They command 

 from $9 to $15 the barrel in Eu- 

 rope.
