from the very earliest to the latest. If marketing be not the object, a 

 constant succession of such as are esteemed for kitchen use, as many 

 of superior kinds as will suffice for the table, with some of the latest 

 keeping; then let the bulk of the orchard be of such as possess the 

 following good qualities : bear full, hang late, keep well, and make a 

 superior cider. 



It must be obvious to every person of observation, that there is 

 scarcely any apple that combines all the good qualities ; those that are 

 large and showy often are deficient in flavor or taste, do not bear well, 

 or ripen too soon to be valuable ; those that bear best often want other 

 good qualities. We sometimes meet with those that are desirable and 

 much sought for that have but a single advantage to recommend 

 them. It is generally thought that certain soils and situations are 

 more adapted to certain varieties than to others ; those that flourish 

 well in some districts are very inferior in others, and it not unfrequently 

 happens that the greatest difference is found in different parts of the 

 same orchards. I would recommend that particular attention be paid 

 to the neighboring orchards. Let the soil and aspect be compared 

 with that in which it is intended to plant ; and, whilst seeking for new 

 and far-famed varieties, always reserve a space for such as are known 

 to succeed best in like soils and situations in orchards in the same 

 particular neighborhood. 



Cuttings of any of the varieties of fruit trees for engrafting, packed 

 in a neat and portable manner, will be furnished at 25 cents per dozen ; 

 not less than a dozen of any variety can be furnished. 



$g^ A very extensive branch of this establishment is situated in 

 Washington, on 14th street, where a stock of all the varieties of trees 

 for the streets and lawns, of large growth, are constantly kept, offer- 

 ing a very convenient opportunity for citizens to select for themselves, 

 and have them removed at an hour's notice, when ready to plant ; an 

 experienced hand is always in attendance to attend to planting, which 

 will be done in the best manner, at a reasonable charge. 



Arrangements are making to transplant trees of extra large size for 

 streets and lawns, which will be planted so as to secure their grow- 

 ing, or no pay. Extra large trees will always be charged extra.
