EARLY BUTTER OF CINCINNATI. 



This is a variety which our Cincin 

 nati pomologists seem unable to recog 

 nize with any known description. We 

 have been unable to examine the fruit 

 in perfection, but some small specimens 

 received, from which our drawing was 

 made, induced a guess at Dearborn Seed 

 ling. The original tree at Cincinnati is 

 said to have been probably brought from 

 New -Jersey. It is of upright growth, 

 short-jointed, yellowish brown wood, 

 forming a handsome symmetrical head. 

 Fruit small, oblong ovate, narrowing 

 most to the stem, light greenish yellow, 

 with dark green specks, rarely a bronzed 

 red in sun; calyx, prominent; seg 

 ments, bold, reflexed ; core, compact ; 

 seeds, few, defective ; flesh, white, juicy, 

 buttery, &quot;very good.&quot; Last July.
