keting be not the object, a constant succession of such as are es- 

 teemed 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 quali- 

 ties: bear full, hang late, keep well, and make a superior cider.. 



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

 i'3 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 gene- 

 rally 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 at- 

 tention 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 re- 

 serve 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 ingrafting, 

 packed in a neat and portable manner, will be furnished at 50 

 cents per dozen: no less than a dozen of any variety can be fur- 

 nished.
