ROSES. 



I cover all roses ; they bloom so much butter. 



Luxemburg — does well; also George the Fourth, Madame Plantier, Queen of the 

 Prairies, and Baltimore Belle. 



Seven Bisters, Sydonie, Geo. Peabody, Prince Albert, Mrs. Bosanquet, Baronne Pro- 

 vost, Caroline de Sansal, Dr. Arnold, General Jacqueminot, Giant of Battles, La Reine, 

 L'Enfant du Mount Carmel, are all pronounced "fine." 



The folio wing will give extra satisfaction, Celine Forrester, and America (Noisettes) ; 

 and Madame Laffay, Paeonie, Lion of Combats, M. C. Wood, Jules Margottin and Gen. 

 W uhlngton (Hybrid Perpetuals).

APPLES. 



The fruit on the list I have erased such as are not profitable or hardy in my locality ; 

 have retained some on the list, not for their good quality, but because of their hardiness 

 and good bearing. There are other varieties doubtless on the list that arc hardy, and 

 quality good, but I have retained none except those that have been tested in my local- 

 ity, and have proved worthy of cultivation. 



PEARS. 



Have retained those on the list that are in bearing, and thus far have done well. No 

 blight worth naming for past three or four years. 



QUINCES. 

 Not hardy enough for our locality. 



PEACHES. 

 We had an occasional tree of the budded variety bear this season. Cannot say ix^at 

 would be the best variety, in consequence of our severe climate ; would be willing to 

 take the entire list if we could grow them here. 



CHERRIES. 



Early May or Richmond, Late Richmond (local here) English Morello, May Duke, 

 Common Morello, are entirely hardy, and bear well with us. I think many of the Sweet 

 Cherries can be raised by grafting on Common Morello — say about a quarter of the top. 



PLUMS. 



Chickasaw stands the attacks of the Curculio best. Almost all the varieties placed on 

 the li-t grow well ; and we would have but little trouble in raising plums if the Cur- 

 culio could be kept off. 



GRAPES. 



Concord, Clinton, Delaware, Diana and Hartford Prolillc an- tin- kind-; in general cult- 

 ure here. All do well and bear abundantly, Concord taking the lead. 



CURRANTS. 



Black N'a;>lcs, Cherry, Victoria, White Grape, White Dutch, Red Dutch. Red Dutch 

 most profitable.
