Revised Fruit.List.
Germantown Telegraph.
Since the last publication of our fruit
list, We have for satisfactory reasons
changed our opinion with respect to a few
Of the fruits which it contained. But in re-
gard to the list as whole We can see no
Just grounds for disturbing it. JUDGED We
do not see how it can be improved for
this section of country, or as q general list
for all the Middle States. Some of each
of the separate selections may not do we'll
upon one premises that will succeed ad.
mirably on another. Each grower must
find out for himself the particular apples,
Iears, &C., especially adapted to his soil
inquiries of those who are successful fruit
growers, whose soil is somewhat similar
to their own.
According to our present preference, We
should select the following for Cur own
planting, and all of which we are now
growing more or less successfully {:
Standard pears.-1. Giffard 2. Doyenne
d'Ete 3, Early Catherine; 4, Kirkland :;
5, Bloodgood; 6. Summer Julieane; Z.
Tyson 8. Brandywine; Q. Bartlett :; 10.
Belle Lucrative; II. Manning's Elizabeth;
12. Seckel; 13. Howell; IA. Anjou u.
Sheldon 1G. St. Ghislan II. Lawrence :;
18. Reading. For those who may desire a
smaller number, we should select /. Gift
fard 2. Early Catharine 3. BloodgOod !;
4. Tyson 5. Bartlett; 6. Belle Lucrative !;
2. Scckel 8. Lawrence 9. Reading. They
ripen in about the order they are arranged.
In the above list, from No. to 8 are sum-
ner varieties from to 1G autumn (early
and late; > and II and IS winter, thus ai-
fording sufficient number for each of the
periods of the best known sorts for this
region.
Dwarf Pears-1. st. Michael 'ArchanSel;
2. Bartlett 3. COmice 4. Rostiezer 5.
Diel G. Tyson Z. Belle Lucrative 8.
Lawrence %. OFT 10. Louise BOnne II.
Bose IL. BOussock 13. Glout Nor
ceau.
Apples-1. Maiden's Blush 2. Bald
win 3. SmOkehouse {; 4. Northern Spy !;
8. Smiths Cider 6. Fallawater :. Cor
nell's Fancy S. Red Astrachan %. Wag-
ener 10. Porter II. Gravenstein II.
Tompkin's King !; 13. Roxbury Russet.
We add to the foregoing list Tompkin's S
King and ROxbury Russet, both most cx
cellent varieties indeed the King is re-
garded by some as unsurpassed. North
ern Spy is also restored.
Peaches-1. Crawford's Early g. IIale's
Early 3. York's Early 1. Old Nixon :;
s. Crawford's Late 6. Wards Late Z.
Smock's Late s. Susquehanna. There
is no solid reason to change this list SO far
as it goes. We suggested to peach grow
ers to favor us with a list of leir own aud
few did. but where they differed from
ours We did not deem an Improvement.
Grapes.--l. Telegraph; ?. Concord /;
3. Hartford; f. Clinton 5. Salem 6.
Rogers No. 32; :. Brighton. We have
added to the list No. 81, which, should it
maintain its present character, will be the
very best outdoor variety cultivated. It
is beautiful pink, or rather maroon, col
ored grape, and At Times is transparent. 1t
bears regular crops yearly with U.S. Clin-
ton. in the foregoing list, is only for wine,
and is probably the very best for that pur-
pose. We also add the Brighton, a maroon
color, as promising we'll. 1t is, however,
a small berry and rather struggling
bunches but almost pulpless, and Of ex-
cellent quality. The Prentiss is another
new grape, somewhat larger than the
Delaware, of good quality and scarcely a
preceptible pulp. 1t promises to take the
lead of all the white varieties. The
punches compact and Of fair size. We
have not tried it.
Cherrics-1. May Bigarreau 2. Belle de
Choisy; 3. Black Tartarian; 4. Black
Eagle s., Black Hawk: 6. Elton; Z.
Downer's Late 8. Early Richmond 9.
Early Purple Guignc ; 10. Del. Bleeding
Heart. The ripening of the list will range
from the earliest to the latest, thus carry
ing one through the whole cherry season.
No one can go amiss in adopting this list.
Raspberries-1. Hornet 2. Icrstinc
3. Philadelphia 1. Bran;iywins.
Strawbelries--l. Captain Jack 2. Seth
Boyden B. S;arpless: 4 Triomphe 90
Gand.
Cursants-1. Black Naples; 2. Red
Dutch 3. White Grape. These three
varieties are the best among the different
colors. The Red Dutch is regula: bear
er and is of better quality than any ether.
There are others larger, but they are more
acid. The white grape is transparent, Of
good quality, and ought to be more gen
orally grown, but it is not great bearer.
GOosekerries.-1. lIoughtOn 2. Down
grown in this country. They bear every

Keep clear OF the giants and their big
prices. and especially of foreign vacie-

Blackberries.-1. New Rochelle 2.
Missouri Cluster ). Wilson's Early T.
Snyder. The Snyder, new Western
blackberry, is highly spoken Of at distant
points, bvt We prefer to wait another year
before recommending it, in tho meantime
giving il a trial. We shall probably fruit
it this year.
1t is better that those who intend to
cultivate fruit and have % make pur-
chases, to take this list with them to the
nursery. and adhere to it as far as posi-

In selecting fruit trees, Or any others, he
careful TO chose those with smooth,
healthy looking bark. have entirely shed
their leaves, and have plenty OF small
fibrous roots. Trees on which the leaves
remain after frost sets in, and stick to the
branches in the spring, may be regarded
as not healthy, and in some way lacking
stamina.
