DiLLER. 



Probably a native of Pennsylvania ; new. Tree, moderately vigorous ; 

 wood, short-jointed, reddish brown, a regular and abundant bearer. Fruit, 

 Diedium, ovate obovate, angular, golden yellow, sprinkled, and in sun, 

 mostly covered with light cinnamon russet; calyx, open; basin, shallow; 

 core, small; seeds, long, black, pointed; flesh, yellowish white, buttery, 

 sugary, " very good," or "best." September. We saw this fruit at the 

 Am. Pom. Society meeting, 1852, and have no doubt it will eventually 

 take first class position. It must not be confounded with the Dillen, a 

 foreign variety.
