BY J. J. TnOMAS, OF UNION SPRINGS, N. Y. 
At the request of the President of the Association, Mr. 
Thomas has kindly furnished the following list of fruits for a 
farm of 80 or 100 acres, to afford a full family supply, and a 
proper succession, extending the circle of fruits throughout the 
year and adapted to our climate. Mr. Thomas’ large experi¬ 
ence, close observation and well known caution, will give great 
value to this list. 
LIST OF FRUITS FOR A WESTERN FARM. 
It is difficult to give a precise list, as in some seasons the 
crop will he ten times as great in some years as others ; and 
again some will bear abundantly and others fail in the same 
season. The following, however, will serve as an attempt or 
approximation. 
EARLY SUMMER. 
Early Scarlet, Wilson’s Albany, and Hooker Strawberries 
two or three square rods well cultivated in drills. 
•EARLY AND MID SUMMER AND LATER. 
Red and White Dutch Currant , Cherry, White Grape and 
May’s Victoria, one or two dozen bushes each ; two dozen 
Houghton’s Groosebernj; Fastolf and Franconia Raspberries , 
one dozen or more each, and three dozen Brinclde’s Orange, all 
to be laid down in winter. Three trees, May duke Cherry , 
three of Early Richmond, one of Belle de Choisy, and four of
