Zejihirine Gregoire, Pie IX., Alexandre Lambre, General Butilleul and Comte dc 

 Flanders — promise well as autumn Pears, 



Fondante de Noel. — A seedling of Passe Cohnar, ripening earlier than the latter 

 and of similar flavor, proves to be an excellent late autumn sort, 



Grossc Cah'hasse of LangUer — proves identical with Bcurre Van Marum, (of the 

 Belgians ?) Triomphe de Hasselt, Triomphe de JVord, and Boutclle. A fruit of mon- 

 strous size, but poor quality ; rots badly, 



Charles Van Hooghtcn — large, prolific, possessing good characteristics. 



Beurre Sterhnan — maintains its excellent character. 



Fondante de Malines — improves, and will probably be a fine sort for o-eneral culti- 

 vation.

 best imported for years ; it will take a high rank." 



Theodore Van Mons — hardy, profuse bearer, persistent fohage. Very good.

 fair ; for orchard cultivation, a desirable variety. Promises well. v

 Scckel in quality,

CHERRIES. 



Of Dr. Kirtland's Cherries, of which several kinds have been fmited by Col.

 and most of the sorts seem hardy here. 



WalsKs Seedlings — No.'s 1 and 2 have proved uniformly good. 



Hovey Cherry — has proved unifoiTnly good,
