twelve counties of Wisconsin. They are the most profitable varieties 
of apples in each location named, and in the order of value, as indica¬ 
ted by the figures of these successful cultivators; the number of 
kinds by each, not exceeding ten, and for the past ten to twenty 
years. 
It will be seen by these lists that nearly all have a majority of 
the best five varieties that have so long been recommended by our 
State Horticultural Society, for general cultivation. The great 
difference of soils and locations throughout the State, are so varied 
that it is found not advisable to recommend a list of apples, or other 
fruits for general plauting, advising at our last horticultural meet¬ 
ing planters to look about them and cultivate those varieties that 
that are paying best in their own locality. You will see by the fol¬ 
lowing number of kinds, that it requires forty varieties of apples to 
make up this list of eighteen, and none of them over ten each. 
We have obtained these lists as those varieties that have paid best 
without regard to hardiness or recommendations. Some of the 
new varieties are not in most of the lists, as they have not been 
long enough planted to test them.
