There are, of course, many other varieties of kitchen apple, a few of 
which, such as Hoary Morning, may be named in our lists of trees suit¬ 
able for the orchard. But in a general way one dozen varieties may be

apples, as well as such fine kitchen sorts as the Calville Blanche, and 
most of the many other varieties of Calvilles, of which there are now
