Rochester. 



One of Ellvvanger and Barry's seedlings ; I give tlu;!r dc- 

 sci'iption of it : " Vine a remarkably vigorous grower; wood slior'^ 

 jointed and hardy; foliage large, thick, healthy; the habits of tho 

 vine are similar to those of the Diana, and it requires ample roo;u 

 ;:nd rather long pruning. 



"Bunch large to very large, shouldered, frequently double shoul- 

 dered, very compact; berries medium to large size, round, dar!: 

 purple or purplish lilac, peculiar, with thin white bloom; llesii very 

 sweet, vinous, rich and aromatic. Ripens usually the first week i.i 

 September; has never failed to ripeji well in the worst of seasouii 

 since it first bore." 



TiarMiMi. 



This new hybrid of the Concord and Chasselas Musque was raised 

 ])}' George W. Campbell, Delaware, O., and considered bv him too 

 late for that locality, and wanting in character. George Husmann, 

 in liis new work on grapes, etc., says that "it ripens in perfection i:i 

 Missouri, and is certainly one of tlie most attractive white o-rapes for 

 the table I have yet seen. 



" Buncli large and heavy, shouldered, moderately compact; berry 

 very large, golden yellow, transparent, with delicate bloom; skin tliin; 

 ]iulp tender, sweet, juicy, and excellent. Ripens about with Ca- 

 tawba; it seems to be hardy and tolerably healthy." 



Samuel JNIiller, of Bluffton, Mo., writes me that " it is the finest 

 table grape I have foi- open air cultivation." 



T. V. Munson, of Dennison, Texas, has fruited the Triumph for 

 six years, and pronounces it a great acquisition to the g-rapes for tlie 

 South. " Had bunches weig-hing one and a half pound eacli, fine as 

 Golden Cliasselas in quality, vigorous, and very productive." 



PEACHES. 



Annie AVylie. 



A new seedling raised by the late Dr. A. P. Wylie, Chester, 

 S. C. It is of the Heath Cling type, valuable for the South, bu-t 

 ripens too late heie, except in very favorable seasons. Tree healthy, 

 vigorous, and a good bearer; leaves without glands, but finely ser- 

 rated; flowers small. 



Fruit large, nearly glol)ular; suture shallow, extending a little 

 b(;yond tho apex, which is a small point; cavity rather narrow, deep; 

 skin whitish, or a creamy white, ])ale red in the shade, dark crimsoa 

 red in the sun; flesh wlate, rather firm, juicv, melting, vinous, rich, 

 and of excellent quality; adheres to the pit, which is a little stained. 

 Ripens at the South from the first to the 10th of September; hero 

 the middle of October.
