The Canadian Horticulturist. ioi 



Among the very promising varieties soon to be introduced to the public is 

 the Green Mountain, a very early greenish white grape, first brought to notice 

 by Mr. Tames M. Paul, of North Adams, Mass. I have fruited this grape for 

 the past two seasons ; it ripens about with Champion, while its quality ranks 

 among the best. The vine is vigorous and quite productive, bearing medium- 

 sized, not very compact bunches, of which the berries are a little larger than 

 those of the Delaware. The flesh is quite free from hard pulp, and entirely 

 free from harshness or foxiness, and its flavor is very sweet, with a shght inclina- 

 tion towards the vinous. I must pronounce it the only grape thus far tested 

 that ranks first both in earliness and quality. 



THE PEERLESS APPLE.. 



This apple is a native of Minnesota, a supposed cross between the Duches 

 of Oldenburgh and the Tolman Sweet. The seeds were sown in the year 1867, 

 and of them many succumbed to the cold of that State — but this survived 

 the best of several others of like hardiness. We show our readers the cut, by 

 favor of the introducer, Mr. O. F. Brand. He thinks it hardier than even 

 Wealthy. He states that the tree is very productive, and the fruit well colored, 

 and of good quality.
