Winter Apples for Market Plantations. — Cultivators will find 
tlie following varieties to be the best for market growing ; they 
are arranged in order of their commercial value : — 
The Beinette franche and Calville hlanc varieties should only 
be grown as orchard trees where there is a good situation, and 
where the boughs would not be liable to canker or become mossy. 
Certain kinds of winter Apples can also be grown to 
advantage, although they are "local fruit" — that is to say, fruit 
which is usually grown only in certain districts. A fair number 
of late-flowering varieties, which escape the spring frosts, have 
spread and become naturalised in many parts of France. 
The Apple tree is so general that every country seems to 
have its own particular favourite varieties. The tree will also 
flourish everywhere, and in all climates. Mountainous countries 
are very favourable for Apple cultivation. 
In the East and South-east, at the foot of the Alps and Jura 
mountains, the lieineite and Calville varieties are much grown. 
The Asse and l^lconc valleys, and the Chablais and Faucigny 
hills, send consignments of Apples to all the principal markets 
in Franco, Switzerland, and Italy. '^Fhe Ccvcnncs begin in 
the Gard department, with orchards composed of the Beinette 
du Vigan, sheltered with vast groves of Chestnut trees. The
