William Summer, in American Penological Report, says of the cultivation and varieties for the South, as follows:

Fruits were first obtained from the best nurseries at the North and from Europe. The result was that all the winter varieties of apples proved to be autumn kinds, and most of these rotted and fell from the trees before ripening fully. We at once had recourse to the introduction of native seedling varieties, and these were soon found to be admirably adapted to our soil and climate; and so abundant were these varieties that we found difficulty, after we became engaged in the nursery business, to select from so many which were worthy of cultivation. The early Northern varieties almost invariably succeed well; and some of the winter varieties are admirable fall varieties, producing fair and abundant crops. In the mountain or upper regions of this State some few of the best Northern varieties succeed, such as the Baldwin, Northern Spy, and American Golden Rus-seting.

We give a few of our varieties produced in this State as worthy of general cultivation in the South.

Apples For The South #1

THE Rural Alabamian gives a list of twelve apples for cultivation in the Southern States - prefacing the list by saying, that the list is strictly for market. For family use, many varieties now omitted should have a prominent position, while a few that are included should be left out.

Early Harvest, Red Astrachan, Red June with remark. "For perfect reliability as an early market apple, there is nothing to equal this old Southern variety." Yellow June, Garretson's Early, Primate, Bevan's Favorite, Golden Sweeting, Early Strawberry, Rhode's Orange, Batchelor, Taunton.

In this connection it may be a matter of interest to the Southern readers of the Horticulturist, to know what varieties stand prominent in Southern Texas. We have just shipped (Jan. 21) per order to Washington county, Texas, 50,000 apple root grafts of the following sorts: Ben Davis, 10,000; Red June, 10,000; Red Astrachan, 10,000; Rawlc's Jannette, 5,000; Dyer, 8,000; White Winter Pearmain, 5,000; Willow Twig, 2,000; Grimes' Golden, 5,000.
