;224 WESTERN FRUIT BOOK, 



Some that have come in with good names and a high rep- 

 utation elsewhere, have been discarded. A few should be 

 our main dependence. Every book on this subject 

 strongly recommends some ])articular kinds. People ex- 

 pect that nurserymen should grow all those which are 

 recommended. They go to work and get up all this stock 

 for three or four years, and, by the time they are ready, 

 something has been found wrong about them; others come 

 into notice and are praised; these again fixil in some way, 

 and it is, therefore, a hard task for growers to keep up 

 with the fashions in this way. The fact is, a few very 

 good and well tried kinds should embrace our main sup- 

 ply and dependence.
