There are other varieties that bear ii good name, but with 

 ■which I am not acquainted, among which arc Cooledge's Favor- 

 ite and Hill's Chili, of which I have a good opinion. 



THI^fN'IIs^G THE FRUIT, 



I was always well aware, was good policy when a tree over- 

 bears; but till the past season I was never aware of the ruinous 

 consequences of neglecting it, several of my Crawford's Early 

 being utterly worthless from excess of fruit. By doubling the 

 size, you nearly triple the price, Avithout diminishing the 

 quantity in measure. 



Respectfully,
