 were all fine. Ripe, gradually from the 6th to the 20th of September. 



IQth. To Kahn Grape, Peters, Harden & Co., ripens early in September, and 

 very good, but said to be a very poor bearer by the growers. 



\*\th. Bland Grape, beautiful bunches from Peters, Harden & Co., and from 

 Dr. J. C. Orr, were received, early in September, perfectly ripened. A desirable 

 variety, but requires careful pruning and cultivation. 



18/A. OJdo, from Peters, Harden & Co., is a very fine tasted Grape, but the 

 berries are entirely too small. 



\^th. Catawha Grape; magnificent bunches, from Mr. Axt, through Dr. Linton, 

 the flavor of which did not belie their exterior.

 middle of September. 



Several seedling Peaches were received at this time from Dr. J. Orr, J. H. 

 Coult, of Athens; R. Nelson, Macon; and Peters, Harden & Co., Atlanta; 

 some which were of large size and good quality, but none quite equal, in flavor, 

 to other varieties ripening at the same season.

 with red in the sun. Flesh, white to the stone, exceedingly juicy, excelling the 

 Heath Cling in tenderness of texture, equally rich and luscious. A most desirable 

 Peach. Ripe September 10th to 20th. Different from Heath in shape, and still 

 better in quality. From Mr. Donnahoo, Clarke County. 



23d President Onirch. — Glands, renifovm. Size, large, roundish, inclining to 

 oval, suture shallow, often a mere line, with a small point at the apex, which is 

 rarely depressed, with pale red in the shade, and beautifully marbled and washed

 red; in size and color it somewhat resembles the Late Admiral, and is quite as 

 fine a flavored Peach. Flesh, pale red, at the stone, very juicy, melting, of de- 

 licious flavor, the fruit free from rot. A great acquisition. A seedling, raised 

 by Rev. A. Church, D. D., President of Franklin College, Athens, Ga.
