 buiall, closed; basin medium; flesh white, fine, rather comi)act, moder- 

 ately jiucy, mild sweet, i-athcr rich ; core small. Decejnber, March. 



Kaigx's Spitzenbuhg and Long Red Peaumain. 



For many years these have been considered identical, and Downing so

 ju-operty of the Econoniites at New Harmony, Indiana, many years since ;

 having originated in Gloucester county, New Jersey.

 kinds, the object being to correct the mistake.
