of baking apples most suitable for orchards are the calvilles, of whichthere are several varieties, including the Hawthornden for early use; the reinettes,pearmains, and Northern greening for autumn use, and the russets and Padleys pippinfof winter and spring. Many other sorts might be named, but an inspection of thefruit markets will prove that these are the best; and further details belong to bookson gardening. Whoever intends to plant an orchard will do well to describe the soil,situation, climate, and object in view, to the nearest resident gardener or nurserymanof science and great experience; because the nomenclature of fruits is at present toouncertain to justify any one in trusting entirely to a selection of names taken from books.Ronalds of Brentford, Gibbs of Ampthill and Old Brompton, and Pearson of Chilwell.near Nottingham, are very extensive growers of apple trees for sale, and have paid greatattention to the merits of the different sorts.
