ELECTION OF FRUITS FOR LARGE GARDENS. 
E resume this subject from p. 150 ; and now give the more extended lists 
which have been compiled for large gardens. The plan adopted on the 
previous occasions has been again followed in making up the returns. 
It is somewhat remarkable how strongly the current of opinion has set in 
favour of the old and well-known favourites. No doubt it has been felt that 
much more experience is required with the newer sorts before they can be' 
recommended for general purposes :—
