108 THE SUBURBANITE'S HANDBOOK 



Some of the above excel in more than one quality and conse- 

 quently are more desirable. Detailed description of the above will 

 be found further on. While the above may prove a sufficient list 

 for the majority of suburbanites to select from, I will add a descrip- 

 tive list of 50 of the best quality of apples in order to furnish a 

 wider range for selection.
