convinced tie fault was in the loca-
tion and sol.
According to our present prefer
ence, we should select the following
for our own planting, viz:
l. Fairly Cathariue, 7. Giffard, avr7
2. Juliana, 8. Sheldon,
3. MS Elizabeth g. Flemish Beauty.
f. Tyson, 10. Anjou,
5. Bartlett, IL. Lawrence,
g. Seckel, II. Potts.
Of the above, from No. / to 4 are
summer varieties from 5 to 10 au-
tumn; /; and IL and u winter, thus
aff:rding a sufficient number for each
of the periods, of the best known
sorts for this region.
DWARF PEARS.
l. st. Michael, = Diel,
2. Bartlett, & aa 4 15. Boussock,
3. Cumice, g. Belle Lucrative
We give only six kinds for dwarf,
believing that it is better to have a
few and good sorts than great ma
nv, one halfor three-fourths of which
are indifferent. The Winfield and
Louise Boone are the most prolific of
any of the pears on ounce, but with
us and many others the fruit does not
perfect itself. On light warm soils
they do very well. The Rostizer is
a delicious pear and does well on
ounce with US, but the tree is SO strag-
Cling and gawky in its growth as to
make it an eyesore in any well-regu-
lated garden. E s
APPLES.
1.sMaiden's Blush, A. Jefferis, b 5'
2. BALDWIN, s. Smiths Cider,
3. L. l. Russell, 6. Nortt ern Spy.
PEACHES. ss
l. Crawford Early 4. Oldmixon free
2. George ", B. Oldmixon (cling)
3. Morris White, 6. Bergen's Yellow.
.tA GRAPES.
l. Concord, 4. Telegraph,
2. Adirondac, B. Hartt'd Prolific,
3. Delaware, 6. Creveling. Il
There are several new grapes, as
our readers know, which have lately
been presented to the public, the solid
value of which has not yet been pos
itively established. The Adirondac
is one of those of most promise, and
we do not think there is any risk in
recommending it. The Iona is an
other which mag also turn out to be
worthy OF cultivation. Several of
Rogers Hybrids likewise claim
lea ing place. This seasons expert
,enoe will enable us to form pretty
good judgment of them, so that our
next list may be considerably chang
ed. With the Maxatawny we are not
fully satisfied while the fruit is equal
in point Of merit to any other, the
vine, with US loses its leaves before
the grapes are matured and many of
them fall off. We have consequent
ly removed it from our list.
CHERRIES.
l. May Duke, 4, Black Eagle,
q Early Richmond 5. Germantown,
3. Black Tartarian 6.Belle Magnifiquc
We omit the Gov. Wood because it
does not generally mature its fruit
A rain followed by a-hot sun when
the cherries are. nearly ripe, will
sometimes blast the whole crop. Its
quality howevsr is superior to all 9th
ers. The /" German4own' is the
largest cherry grown, il. handsome in.
appearance, an abundant bearer of
sound fruit, and very good in quality.
.RAsPBERRIEs.
1 Brinkle Orange, 8. Catawissa,
q Hornet, 4. Philadelphia.
We cultivate all these varieties of
the raspberry, in addition to the Hud-
son River Antwerp and the Old Pur-
pie. We omit the Hudson River from
our list this season, and substitute
the Philadelphia, q new variety which
promises to be valuable. The Hud-
son River is an excellent berry, rathr
er better than the Hornet, which it
resembles, though not SO large, butt
is. not hardy or a good grower. and
unless care is taken will ''run OUT in
few years. The Catawissa is the
rtwo-crop variety, which every one
ought to cultivate for the autumn
crop only.
gsei STRAWBERRIES.
l. Russells Prolific, 3. Hovey's SeedPg,
2,Triomphe d Gand 4. Albany Seeding
At present we are no prepared to
change our strawberry list. There
are many new candidases for public
favor, but for family use aud market
communicative know of none to be pre-
ferred to the foregoing. In retain
ing the Albany seeding, it is done
expressly for marketing purposes. as
we cannot conceive that any one
would cultivate it for domestic con
sumption where any other variety can
be obtained.
i. Black Naples, 2. Red Dutch.
