Apple Growing.

Having introduced several new
fruits into my collection, and having
experimental with them for num-
Der of years, as well as with some
older ones which are not frequently
in our western collections, so far as
am aware, give the following list
of apples, with brief description
and history Of them for the benefit OF
all whom 10 may concern:
While introducing them to notice,
/ will take the liberty of ggesting
to fruit culturists throughout the
State, especially to those who have
been for years engaged in propagat-
ing and orcharding, the propriety Of
giving publicity to their lists aud de-
scriptions of such new kinds az they
may have tried, and found valuable,
or otherwise, embracing also i'm their
report such older varieties in good
repute elsewhere, as have not previ-
ously had place in the general lists
of approved kinds for Iowa.
Such information from different
sources may be of advantage in at
leas two ways:
First, If the same kinds have been
fruited In different localities, COM
parison will show how far each may
answer for general propagation.
Second, 1t may bring new, as well
AS old and valuable varieties to no.
tice, and give fruit-growers an OPP
portunity of exchanging by cions or
otherwise and thereby disseminating
those which may be found worthy
Of general culture.
PoTTlsR's EARLY.-I received a
small tree of this sort from o. Il.
Hobbs Esq, of Randolph Crawford
county, Pennsylvania, seventeen
years ago. Size, small to medium, q
regular and good bearer; color, a
yellowish ground, striped with red
on the sunny side; in shape, round
ish; smooth skin, and fine sub-acid
flavor. Desirable on account Of its
earliness, as well as its good eating
qualities. 1t is the earliest apple /
have.
The original tree have set stand
