A narrow field of selec- 

 tion has its advantages; 

 it saves the beginner a 

 great deal of weary 

 plodding through long 

 lists of selections by 

 experts, all of which 

 are the best, yet all dif- 

 ferent from each other! 



The Best Apricots. 



The following list 

 comprises most of the 

 best Apricots, and 

 affords material for 

 several good selections : 

 Moorpark. 



Oullins' Early Peach. 

 Powell's Late. 



Blenheim (Shipley's). 



15reda. 



Early Moorpark. 



Frogmore Early. 



Here we have ten varieties. I can hardly imagine anyone requiring so 

 many, and I will therefore sift them : 

 Three fur walls. Powell's Late. Blenheim. 



Large Early. Ta'u for e:qjosed places. One for an amateur. 



Moorpark. Breda. Early Moorpark. 



CHERRIES. 



Here we have not only more varieties, bat a more even balance of merit, 

 so that selection becomes more difiicult. Let ns, following the previous 

 plan, first of all get a few of the best sorts before us, and then choose from 

 amongst tlieni. 



Some of the Best Cherries. 

 Archduke. Black Tartarian. Governor Wood. 



Bigarrean, Kent (Amber ,, Eagle. Kentish. 



Heart). Early Rivers. May Duke. 



Bigarreau Napoleon. Ellon. Morello. 



Here wc have just 

 short of a dozen varie- 

 ties, all possessing con- 

 siderable merit, yet 

 possible of reduction if 

 all are not wanted. Let 

 us classify them.
