86 SELECTION OF FRUITS, &C. 



SELECTIONS OF FRUITS. 



The following selections of fruits of kinds best known, are well calculated for a 

 garden and orchard, where only a limited number is required, and it may aid those 

 who are not acquainted with the subject. The numbers refer to the enumeration in 

 the catalogue. 



The trees we can furnish by selections from our immense stock, will average from 

 25 to 33 per cent better in point of size and vigor, than such as are usually sold. 

 Some persons complain that Pear trees do not succeed, which arises in most cases 

 from an improper selection of the varieties. Care should be taken to always select 

 such as have originated in, or become acclimated to a corresponding climate. For 

 the northern section of the Union, the Flemish varieties are greatly to be preferred.
