The Apple is decidedly the staple fruit of this country. Our soi! and climate seem so conge- j ', 
nia] to it, that in no other country does it attain such perfection. American Apples are the first ' 
in the world. Its importance to the American Husbandman is eyery year increasing, in couse- ji 
quence of its value as an article of domestic cookery, for feeding and fattening farm stock, and for j, 
sale and exportation as an article of commerce. / 
The fine new improved varieties, now so easily obtained, leaves no excuse for poor orchards. S 
Every cultivator should see that his varieties are the most valuable to be had, that his labor, care, \\ 
and capital, may be advantageously expended. I 1 
• Soil. — The Apple prefers a deep, heavy loam ; on such a soil it is generally most productive, | , 
and attains the greatest perfection; but it accommodates itself to almost every soil. Henne we i[ 
find it bearing fine crops on neglected gravelly spots and dry sands. Am| we often find orchards i 
on steep hill-sides, and rocky places, unfit for general culture. ! 
Distance. — Thirty feet apart in orchards, as a general thing, is sufficient. Where the grounds ? 
are deep and rich, and the trees likely to attain a large size, forty feet is the proper distance. ]« 
; Many are but recently added to our collection, and can be furnished only of smaller size, say i[ 
i two years old from the graft, these are distinguished by a * \ 1 
| A number of the finest varieties are grown on dwarf stocks. These bear soon and take up small ; ! 
space — fine for small gardens. i [
