vigor, very productive and the fruit of superior quality. It cornea 

 in eating soon after Garden Royal, and although of unlike flavor 

 is scarcely inferior to it. Of Pennsylvania origin, medium size, 

 yellow, splashed with red, very tender, juicy and rich. I would 

 hardly recommend it for a market fruit, but would very strongly 

 for home use. 



Sarah. Mr. Adams of East Wilton. I have been acquainted 

 with this for twenty years but have grown it myself only lately. 

 It is very large, very handsome, of good quality, and one of the 

 most saleable The original tree stands near the corner of the 

 house, where it receives the slops on washing days. It covers a 

 large surface and has borne severity bushels in a year. The fruit 

 is remarkably fair, smooth and free from all blemishes, as well as 

 very large, both on the original tree and on mine, which have 

 lately come to bearing, and for so large a fruit they hold on wonder- 

 fully well. 



Dean, or Nine Ounce Apple. Mr. Adams. This is said by 

 some to have originated in Leeds, and by others, in several other 

 places. The tree is of spreading habit, a regular and good bearer, 

 and sells higher where it is known than any other apple I know of. 

 It is decidedly the finest apple of its season which is grown in our 

 vicinity. 



Sec Goodale. I hope we may be able to get at the facts 

 with regard to the origin of the Dean Apple, and the success at- 

 tending its culture in different localities. I have not grown the 

 fruit, but have seen it from several sources, and my impression is, 

 that it is worthy of far greater dissemination and more extensive 

 culture than it has received. The fruit reminds one of good 

 specimens of Primate — both in form and color, tenderness and 

 rich flavor. It is, however, considerably later than Primate. 



Winthrop Greening. Mr. Spaulding of Ilallowell. Originated 

 in Winthrop, is very highly esteemed as a superior fall fruit both 

 for eating and cooking. The tree is a vigorous grower and very 

 hardy, but only moderately productive. 



Mr. Gilbert. It is grown by some as the Lincoln Pippin, and 

 was shown under that name at the laic State exhibition at Bangor. 

 There is also another apple called Lincoln Pippin quite distinct. 

 There is no more popular apple, when it succeeds, than the Win- 

 throp Greening. It is not excelled by any in flavor or quality. 



Sec. Goodale. Excellent as the Winthrop Greening undoubtedly 

 is where it originated and for a moderate distance around, it does
