populous cities, would not mature in our open fields. 

 There are also some situations where the apple and pear 

 thrive well, while the cherry and plum do not ; the cul- 

 tivation of the two former should therefore be encour- 

 aged, while that of the latter should be only so to a lim- 

 ited extent. The Baldwin, Bellflower, Swaar, and some 

 other varieties of apples, do well in a soil of a light, 

 loamy nature, while the Ribstone Pippin, Hubbardston 

 Nonesuch, Piper, and Pickman Pippin, require that of a 

 strong, clayey, and retentive loam. 



The following list of apples which answer well in our 

 locality, comprises some of the best summer, autumn, 

 and winter varieties for New England culture.
