Like the most of new beginners mv principal fault arose from going in for too many varieties, and it goes without saying that my ventures with the " latest " were not always crowned with success. Failures there have been—many of them in that line—still these rumors only served to strengthen the determination to succeed, exercise greater caution in my selections, and never to waver in a proper appreciation of what is left of the hardy, good and true. Apples.—There are about forty different kinds in my orchard and garden. After studying the matter thoughtfully, I have come to the conclusion that the following, in the order named, are hard to beat in this section : Summer—Red Astrachan, Yellow Transparent, Early Strawberry, and Benoni. Autumn— Duchess of Oldenburg (the queen of apples in its season). Red Beitigheimer, St. Lawrence, Alexander, Fall Pippin, Maiden's Blush, Kentish Fillbasket, and Keswick Codlin. Winter—Blenheim Orange, Ontario, King of Tompkins, American Golden Russet, Ribston, Wealthy, Hubbardson's Nonsuch, Northern Spy, Pewaukee, Baldwin, Peck's Pleasant, and Grimes' Golden. Early Harvest and Fameuse spot badly. The former was cut down last fall ; the latter, along with Early Joe, Col vert, i'omme Grise, and several others, will be converted by grafting into Blenheims. Tetofskys, with the exception of one specimen tree, I topworked with l^aid- wins. Gravenstei
