is desirable to cultivate, it should be rcinarked, that every farmer in 

 making his selection, should be governed by the use which he designs 

 to make of them. How many, for example, he wants for baking, 

 drying, sauce, cider, dessert, and for other uses ; also, if he designs to 

 raise apples for the market, to select such varieties as v/ill sell most 

 readily, and for the highest prices. Early fruits, if located near the 

 place of market, will be found most profitable, but if remote from the 

 place of sale, autumn and winter varieties will be found more profit- 

 able. In selecting, you should have regard to varieties, whose trees 

 are vigorous growers, and good bearers. There are some of the 

 choicest varieties, whose growth is feeble, and products meager. The 

 alphabetical list of the choice varieties which follows, will be found of 

 service to ail interested in fruit-culture in our Society.
