224 WESTERN FRUIT BOOK. 



Some that have come in with good names and a high rep- 

 _ ntation elsewhere, have been discarded. A few should he 

 our main dependence. Every book on this subject 

 strongly recommends some particular kinds. People ex- 

 pect that nurserymen should grow all those which are 

 recommended. They go to* work and get up all this stock 

 for three or four years, and, by the time they are ready, 

 something has been found wrong about them; others come 

 into notice and are praised; these again fail in some way, 

 and it is, therefore, a hard task for growers to keep up 

 with the fashions in this way. The fact is, a few very 

 good and well tried kinds should embrace our main sup- 

 ply and dependence. • 



LAEGE EAELY YOEK. See Early York. 



Large Early. Not a synonyme of Large Early York. 

 It is not so early as that fruit. It is of very rich, delicious

 September.

 September.

 very juicy, and most delicious ; color, yellowish green, 

 pale red cheek, marbled with dark red ; size, 1, very large;
