edge of Pornology, and great familiarity with the varie- 

 ties, and their adaptation to different soils and situations. 



For a SINGLE family,' a dozen trees should furnish a su- 

 perabundance of fruit ; but the observation of all who 

 have attempted a selection is, that the smaller the list to 

 be chosen, the greater will be found the difficulty in mak- 

 ing the selection. The following list is recommended, 

 commencing with the earliest : the Eed Juneating, Prince's 

 Harvest, Summer Eose, Fall Pippin, Eambo, American 

 Golden Eusset, I^ewtown Spitzenburg, White Bellflower, 

 Swaar, Pryor's Eed, Eaule's Janet, XeAvtown Pippin. 



Others would prefer. White June, Benoni, Strawberry, 

 Golden Sweet, Fall Pippin, Eambo, Westfield Seek -no-fur- 

 ther, Newtown Spitzcnburg, Yellow Bell flower, Waxen, 

 White Pippin, Eoxbury Eusset. 



For Market, the question assumes another phase alto- 

 gether, for it is a matter of great importance to furnish a 

 suppl}' that shall suit the tastes of customers, and the 

 consumers are possessed of as much diversity in this 

 respect as in any other ; and withal, are coming rapidly 

 within the influence of the enlightening rays of the Po- 

 mological Conventions of the States and Kation ; although 

 still bound by fashion and early association. Thus, in 

 New England, the Porter, Baldwin. Ehode Island Green- 

 ings, W^estficld Seek-no-further, and Boston Eusset, will 

 outsell most other varieties. In New York, the Greening, 

 Bsopus Spitzcnburg, and the Newtown Spitzcnburg (tlieir 

 Vandevere), the Newtown Pippin, and the Yellow Bell- 

 flower, will bear the palm; and in Philadelphia, another 

 style of fruit would command more attention, among 

 which the Eambo would stand pre-eminent; and the 

 beautiful little Lady Apple, Avhich constitutes a necessary 

 part of the Christmas decorations, and the ornaments of 

 every winter feast, will receive the highest price of any 

 other Apple in either of those cities.
