 Buiniuor, wlien they will be in great strengtli, as they have good soil, and have been kept clean, 

 and all the runners kept elipped off. A few fruited, one of which looks very much like Burr's 

 Kiw Pine, of which it is a seedling; and, as far as I could judge from the first seai^on, will be a 

 full match for its parent, if not richer. I have let its runners strike. I shall muleh in the Ppring, 

 and give it a fair trial. I am delighted in the Strawberry culture, and shall, as 1 liave plenty of 

 room, experiment largely. You shall liear from me occasionally. 



I liave four seedling peaches that are very good, and Mr. Hoick of Buffalo, saw one of them' 

 and pronounced it first rate. It was the Cling, which looks just like a large lemon in shape and 

 color. "NVm. II. Kkad. — Port Balhousie, C. W.

At a meeting of the New York Horticultural Society, on 2d October last, Mr. "Wir. S. Carpen 

 TEu laid on the tables several specimens of a new seedling Peach, which gives decided promise 

 of being an acquisition. It is very larger-equal in size to Crawford's Late and Earhj. Some 

 specimens were eleven inches in circumference. Flesh pure white to the stone ; no red ; and is 

 juicy, sprighth', of good flavor, and a good bearer. Its large eize, color, and lateness of ripening, 

 will make it particularly desirable for preserving. Last year it did not ripen until the middle of 

 October. This year, owing to the drouth, the Peach ripened two weeks earlier. The present is 

 the second season of its bearing, and it seemed worthy of particular notice. 



Mr. TuoMAS Hogg, Jr., Chairman of the Fruit Committee, reported favorably on Mr. CAnrEX- 

 ter's Peach, naming it " Carpenter's White." — Am. Agriculturist.
