layers -, and these certainly bring trees to bear quicker. 

 The layers being raised in the manner before-mentioned, 

 from the limbs and shoots of apple-trees. See the word j 

 layer in the Index. Every thing having before been said j

 an opinion as to the best sorts would perhaps be useless, ; 

 where the sorts are so numerous, and when tastes are so

 Spring Codlin, Costard, French Crab, French Minchin,

 Scarlet Pearmain, Winter Pearmain. On the American 

 apples I can offer some opinion. The earliest is Woolley's 

 Summer Pearmain ; and I call it Woolley's, because Mr.

 knowledge of it and gave me some of the fruit in the
