32. VARIETIES OF FRUITS. 



Many people plant Fruit trees without a thought of what Variety 

 . they shall plant, and as a result almost certain disappointment ensues, 



whilst for an expenditure of 2d. they can obtain from the Society a little 

 ; 16-page pamphlet which contains the latest expert opinion on Apples, 

 ]. Pears, Plums, Cherries, Raspberries, Currants, Gooseberries, and Straw- 

 1 berries, together with Notes on Planting, Pruning, and Manuring, which 

 i f or clearness of expression and direction it would be impossible to 



surpass. It has in fact been suggested that no other 16 pages in the 

 i English language contain so much and such definite information. At 



the end of the pamphlet are given the names of some of the newer 



varieties of Fruits, which promise well, but are not yet sufficiently 



proved to be recommended for general planting. 



Copies of this pamphlet for distribution may be obtained at the 



Society's Office, Vincent Square, Westminster. Price, post free : single 



copy, 2d., or 25, 2s. ; 50, 3s. ; 100, 4s.
