486 Descriptions of Select Varieties of Apples. 



The Early Tillotson peach, of which so much has been 

 said in its praise, we here saw in considerable quantities ; and 

 although we know nothing personally of the excellence of the 

 fruit, never having had an opportunity to taste it, we cannot 

 omit some notice of it, on account of its susceptibility to the 

 attacks of the mildew ; indeed, on this account alone, unless 

 the fruit possessed some very remarkable qualities, we should 

 consider it scarcely worthy of cultivation ; the leaves were 

 literally white, and completely rolled up. Ripening as it 

 does, at the same time as the Early York, it cannot be con- 

 sidered so valuable as the latter peach, which, with us, is en- 

 tirely free from mildew. 



Messrs. EUwanger & Barry have a fine collection of cherries 

 and well shaped specimen trees, of all the leading varieties ; 

 the cherry does well here. There is a large and fine quanti- 

 ty of quince stocks, and among them a variety of very up- 

 right or fastigiate growth, similar to a poplar ; this, we were 

 informed, was originally selected from among some imported 

 stocks, and from its neat habit, has been considerably propa- 

 gated ; whether it possesses any properties which will make 

 it superior as a stock, remains to be proved. The stock of 

 ornamental trees and shrubs comprises a good selection of 

 the most popular kinds. 



The grounds are kept in excellent condition in every part.
