KDITOK'S TABLE. 



It is said that a seed of some European variety must have been in the soil and produced tliis 

 Tine. I cannot deny that this may be the fact. I do not think so, however, and the foliage 

 shows every indication of a Hybrid. N. Lonoworth, ICsq., of Cincinnati, has raised white Eced- 

 liiitp from our natives, and a fine white from the Catawba. He tliinks so at least; the doubters 

 )iri)li(iMy will siiy in his case, also, that he is deceived. The foliage of American kinds is fo 

 unlike tho European, that the charge of a Chassclas or Sweetwater seed having been in the soil, 

 can not apply in his case. 



It will require two or three seasons yet before those Hybrid seedlings will be so tested as to 

 warrant their introduction into cultivation in the open air. 



If you consider these remarks relative to Grapes to be of any public value, you can make 

 what use you please of them. Respectfully Yours, John Fisk Allen. 



List of Fruits for Ohio. — "We take from the published report the following discussion 

 on Apples, at a joint meeting of the Ohio Pomological Society and the State Agricultural 

 Convention, at Columbus, "Wednesday evening, December 6th, 1854; A. II. Ernst and J. 

 K. Green in the Chair; M. B. Bateiiam, Secretary: 



Tlie object of the meeting was stated by Dr. "Warder and M. B. Batkham, viz : to agree upon 

 a list of Apples to be recommended for general cultivation throughout the State of Ohio. 



On motion, it was agreed to take up the several kinds of Apples in the order of their season, 

 as Summer, Fall, and Winter varieties. 



Earl II Harvest was reported as good in all parts of the State — not a profuse bearer, but fair in 

 most localities ; does best in rich or well manured soil. Highly approved wherever known. 

 Recommended unanimously. 



Early Strawberry. — Highly approved in south and center of the State, also in north-west and 

 north-east. Not much known in some of the northern counties, but does well wherever known. 

 Recommended unanimously. 



Large Ydlow Bough or Sweet Bough. — Gen. "WouTniNGTON had grown this extensively for many 

 years in Ross County, and approves it very highly. Was reported good in all parts of the State. 

 Not a great bearer. Dr. Warder proposed to recommend it only for limited cultivation. Recom- 

 mended with one dissent 



American Summer Pcarmain. — Proposed by Dr. Jones, and highly recommended by all who 

 know it, but passed as not sufficiently known. 



Golden Siceet. — Generally known in different parts of the State, and highly recommended, 

 especially for baking, for apple butter, and for stock. Recommended with one dissent. 



Maidens Blush — Commended by numerous gentlemen, especially for its fine looks and for mar- 

 ket Some like it for cooking and for the table; does well in all parts of the State — is larger 

 and of less flavor south than nortL Recommended with several dissents. 



Fall Pippin or Golden Pippin. — Well known and highly approved in all parts of the State. 

 Keeps best and has best flavor at the north, but is largest at the south. Recommended with one 

 dissent. 



Cooper. — Dr. Hempsted said he believed the history of this Apple had not yet been lully stated. 

 The grafts were brought from Boston to Marietta by Mr. Adams, of Zanesville, who called it a 

 French Apple, the original trees having been imported, as he believed, from France. All present 

 who knew the Apple called it first rate; but some gentlemen though it not sufficiently known 

 to warrant its recommendation for general cultivation, especially in the northern part of the 

 State. Recommended with one dissent. 



Ramho. — Was pronounced first rate, especially in central parts of the State. Dr. Warder said 

 good at the south, but ripens early, becomes dry, and does not keep aa well as 

 Recommended unanimously.
