FRUIT TREES. 



trees are of mucli shorter duration than those grafted 

 upon the other stocks. 



The directions given for choice of grafts and modes 

 of grafting pears apply also to apples. 



Varieties. — Although less considerable than that of 

 pears, the number of varieties of apples for table use 

 is sufficiently extended. We have counted as many as 

 five hundred varieties, amongst which we consider the 

 following to be the best, affording a supply for the 

 table for each month in the year.
