plan on a very small home plot to graft two sorts 
into a single tree. 
There are other varieties that, as an apple en- 
thusiast, I dislike to omit, especially some of 
the newer sorts that are being originated every 
year. The Yellow Bellflower is number one 
in a Michigan list; and the Roxbury Russet is an- 
other great apple for that state, and for some other 
sections; but in New York State both of these are 
so badly infested with codlin moth that it does not 
pay to plant them. Sutton’s Beauty is probably 
destined to be one of the greatest of our market 
apples — resembling Baldwin. Wagner is a sort of 
cross between Spy and Mother, a glorious fruit; 
and I think it is generally a successful grower. 
Summer Rose is of very excellent quality, and a 
very beautiful summer fruit, but it is too small to 
enter into a short list. For my own use I should 
surely include in every list the Summer Strawberry, 
and it is equally fine for market. 
Every one in the country needs at least two crab- 
apple trees, not only for the fruit, but for the beauty 
displayed when the tree is in full blossom, and again 
when the fruit is ripe. I consider a well-shaped 
crab-apple tree, bursting into bloom before all other
