BEST APPIiE — BEST TWO BOZEN KINDS. 
Folly of so many Varieties — Third Rate 
Butter!—Early Fruit in a Reach Country 
goes a begging—The best Apple—lest of 
Value—The two dozen kinds—Soil and Cli¬ 
mate. 
At the meeting of the American Pomological 
Society at Boston in September last, one in- 
dividual exhibited 273 varieties of pears, and 
another 150 varieties of apples. Now to me 
it looks extremely unwise to cultivate, or even 
tolerate, such a quantity of kinds, when in fact 
a selection of two dozen would combine, all 
the valuable requisites as to time of ripening, 
flavor for eating, cooking and keeping quali¬ 
ties. The best are only good enough, and, as | cor j n g leather swaps.
