86 SELECTION OF FRUITS, «C. 
SELECTIONS OF FRUITS. 
Tue following sclections of fryits of kinds best known, are well calculated for a 
garden and orchard, where only a limited number is required, and it may aid those 
who are not acquainted with the subject. The numbers refer to the enumeration in 
the catalogue. 
The trees we can furnish by selections from our immense stock, will average from 
25 to 33 per cent better in point of size and vigor, than such as are usually sold. 
Some persons complain that Pear trees do not succeed, which arises in most cases 
from an improper selection of the varieties. Care should be taken to always select 
such as have oviginated in, or become acclimated to a corresponding climate. For 
the northern section of the Union, the Flemish varieties are greatly to be preferred.
