The drst tree that we ever planted orthis varie-

slender and rather feeble grower yet by good
cultivation 1t produced over bushal OF beautiful
specimens the fifth year. Tt' hns quality, hand
| some appearance and prcductveness are fully
shown. There are two objections to 1.-THE fruit
iR not quite large enough and the tree has not the
rapid straigt growth which enables nurserymrn to
supply fine trees TO purchasers The last name ed
characteristic has kept it from extensive plantin
for dealers have learned that purchasers Judge
very much by the exter aal appearance OF the young
