NOTE.— In a Catalogue and Price List of this character it is not practicable, or 
advisable, to describe in detail, a great number of varieties already generally known 
or to give at length instructions relative to transplanting, culture, soil, pruning, etc.', 
all of which is most clearly and practically set forth in much detail, in our Illustrated 
Descriptive Catalogue, of 80 pages, full of valuable and useful information respect- 
ing the practice and profit of the fruit business, and carefully describing hundreds of 
varieties of Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Flowering Shrubs, Climbing Vines, Roses' 
etc., not noticed herein. 
/^Ct^jJt ^ judicious selection of Summer, Fall and 
tL/HL' Ivr^^^ Winter varieties, a succession of this indispens- 
^ M able fruit can be enjoyed all through the year, 
and no one with practical knowledge will question but what this 
branch of the fruit business, properly managed, is highly remunerative. The 
Apple, unlike some other fruits, is adapted to the greatest variety of soil and 
climates; and we can quite safely say, any soil that will produce good grain 
crops will grow apples successfully. Purchasers should choose such varieties 
as are best adapted to their locahty. We mention a few of the more reliable.
