Tallman Sweet, Bailey Sweet, Flushing Spitzenburgh, Fameuse, 
Fall Strawberry, Fall Wine Sap, Early Red, Red Astrachan, 
Sops of Wine and Sweet June, the word fail will become obso¬ 
lete. Sorts more hardy than any seedlings he ever saw; tested 
a large number of sorts with seedlings, but cultivated ones 
always came out the best. Sold thousands, as other nursery¬ 
men have, that were not w r orth “ shucks,” but did the best his 
knowledge afforded at the time; with the experience nur¬ 
serymen have at this time, no trouble in getting sorts that will 
succeed, every time. 
Quiner—Too much money is sent out of the State for trees. 
The soil of eastern nurseries produces an over-thrifty growth of 
the tree, which does not succeed here; prefer trusting nursery¬ 
men west of the lakes. 
Newton—Go to the nursery, get your own trees, trust not to 
tree pedlars; get good trees in nursery of your own selection; 
don't believe pedlars are honest now any more than ten years 
ago.
