Owing t6 the MSS. of this book having come into the 

 publishers' hands quite late last winter, the work was 

 somewhat hurried ; in consequence, a few errors, as well 

 as some omissions, occurred. The following omissions of 

 fruits (many of which are new) are therefore, now sup- 

 plied. The figures correspond with those in the text : 



1. This apple does well in the West generally, but is not 

 suited to this locality (Cincinnati). It is subject to rot 

 and speck on the tree. Page 11. 



2. The English Golden Eusset, is more acid, and of 

 much less value to us. Page 12. 



3. Valuable for all purposes, and does very well on 

 sandy, but is rather hard-fleshed on stiff clay soils. Of 

 slow growth in the nursery. Page 12. 



4. Striped and shaded with carmine, and sprinkled with 

 large light dots. Page 13. 



5. Winter Pearmain, of the Middle States. Page 14. 

 6.- With large russet dots, and streaks of russet about 



the stalk. Page 14. 



7. The author has had reason to change his opinion 

 very much, about this apple. It deserves more general 

 cultivation here ; sometimes it is very fine, always good, 

 a sure bearer every other year, a good cooking as well as 

 table fruit, and a good market variety. It keeps better 

 than it has general credit for doing, although not a late 

 winter sort here. Page 14. 



8. With stripes of red. Page 15. 



9. Flat at base, narrowing to the edge ; chiefly for 

 cooking. Page 15.
