In reference to his collection. Friend Gil
ngham said: The Summer Pearmain in
lis section is one Of the best fruits that
row. AT the Northit is inferior but be-
e brought here it at once increases in size,
nd Is improved in flavor, and this is true
summer apples IN general, that those
hlch do not succeed at the North will do
ell here. The Porter is an excellent fruit,
i that you want besides it for pie is the
o1gh: The Edwards Early is a fruit which {
obtained from single tree in New ,Jer- |
y. ! have never seen 1t elsewhere. Its
d mentioned by Downing or Warder. {
