THE COUNTRY HOME [chapter 



apples, to be as ornamental for the lawn as any tree 

 that the world affords. I would select for early 

 varieties Paul's Imperial and Whitney, and for late 

 varieties Dartmouth and Hyslop. In another 

 chapter I have something to say about the use of 

 crab-apple trees for windbreaks. They not only 

 serve admirably when used for this purpose, but 

 they have the additional value of furnishing a large 

 amount of fruit for market and for cider, and for a 

 much favored jelly. 



I shall venture to add a list of apples for a strictly 

 Northern section, beyond the apple belt. You will 

 be safe in selecting Tetofsky, Wolf River, Pewau- 

 kee, Gideon, Northwestern Greening, Yellow 

 Transparent, Wealthy, Longfield, Fameuse, and 

 Duchess of Oldenburg. These will prove to be in 

 the main entirely hardy in the Dakotas, Wyoming, 

 and Montana. For a section below the regular 

 apple belt, a good list may be made out as follows : 

 Yellow Transparent, Duchess of Oldenburg, 

 Early Joe, Primate, Golden Sweet, Early Straw- 

 berry, Fall Wine, Fall Pippin, Gravenstein, Jacob's 

 Sweet, Jonathan, Northern Spy, Porter, Shiawassie 

 Beauty, Grimes Golden, White Pippin, Stark 

 York Imperial, Stayman's Winesap, and Mam-
