PLUM CIDER. 



Fruit, size medium; form, round-conical; color, greenish yellow, 

 striped with red; flesh, tender, juicy, flavor subacid, good; use, 

 kitchen and market; tree, an erect, vigorous grower, good fruiter 

 and about half hardy; origin, supposed to be Wisconsin. 



WALLRLDGE. 



Size, small to average; form, flat-round; color, light greenish 

 yellow, striped and splashed with light red; very smooth skin; 

 flesh, white, fine grained, crisp, juicy; flavor, sprightly, subacid. 

 A beautiful apple and long keeper; tree, vigorous and enormous 

 bearer. Sometimes does not ripen its growth well and h seriously 

 injured in some of our severest winters. 



WEALTHY. 



Size, medium; form roundish-oblate; color, red, flesh white, 

 often tinged with red; flavor, subacid, good; use, family and mar- 

 ket; season, early winter; origin, Minnesota. The tree is a sym- 

 metrical and vigorous grower; commences to bear young and is in- 

 clined to over bear; is medium hardy but somewhat subject to 

 blight. Excepting the Duchess it is the most profitable variety yet 

 tested for planting in eastern and southern Minnesota. 



PEACH OF MONTREAL. 



Fruit medium in size; form, round-conical, smooth; color, when 

 ripe, light yellow or straw; flesh yellowish white, fine grained, 

 juicy, flavor rather acid; season same as Duchess, quality rather 

 better. The tree is hardy and thrifty and seems to be adapted to a 

 variety of soils; it does not bear as well as the Duchess or ship so 

 well, and the fruit must be picked and handled carefully, but I be- 

 lieve it is worthy of more general cultivation; whether it is a Canada 

 seedling or a true Russian I am not able to say.

 sia; Tree, a tardy bearer.
