APPLES. 
The following list includes only such varieties as have been proved best adapted 
to the climate and soils of New England. Apples thrive on all soils, and require less 
attention for cultivation than any other fruit crop. Trimming must be carefully 
attended to, to allow free circulation of air and light, in order to produce the best 
quality of fruit. Spraying in the flowering period gives greater certainty of satisfac- 
faction in the crops. Distance— plant 25 to 30 feet apart.
