Red Astrachan. Remarkable for its
| great beauty, TO which o part Of its pop

table, but unequaled as summer stew

since, but Appeals 10 have done well,
whenever tried. .s.,

England, but has not been extensively
cultivated elswhere. ,s,a

its delicate texture and agreeable favor.
In these qualities it is fully equaled and

| The Street Bough is generally es-
teemed in many Of The States as the best
summer sweet apple. AT the west il has
proved unproduclive. This defect of
eastern sorts on very fertile soils may d.
minish as the trees grow older.
4 The Caroline Red June, unknown et
the east, is regarded by many as the best
summer apple for the west.
The Bohanon, a fine early fruit ofVir-
ginia and Kentucky, ripens during The
latter half of summer.
In addition to the above, the American
Sammer Pearmaia may be added as a
fruit of much value, although very liable

Strawberry as small, Leauliful, aud pro-
ductive sort, not Of the highest quality;
and the Golden Street as fine grow ing,
productive, aud good summer sweet

variety Of the highest excellence. tita
Porter. Pre- eminen,ly the autumn
apple Of New England; !, succeeds we'll,
but does not maintain fully its eastern rep.

thongh slow in growth, fruit very fair,
with heavy crops.

equalled in richness Of flavor and fine tex
ture combined, among all autumn varie-
ties, but only moderately productive.

very fine in New York, Michigan, north
