I find it full of fruit buds althou£]^h the 

 tree is not more than six or eight years 

 old at farthest. 



The Pelxvorth Pippin. A small brown 

 fruit, in shape very like the Hall-door 

 apple, its flavour is however superior to it, 

 and it keeps longer. It is quite a young 

 tree, but I cannot speak as to its property 

 for bearing until 1 have had more ex- 

 perience ; if, however, nothing should 

 be found to depreciate its merits, it bids 

 fair to be one of the best apples I have 

 ever seen. 



The Scarlet Nonpareil. Is also a fruit 

 of considerable value ; it was raised 

 from seed at Kimpton Park, near Sunbury, 

 a few years ago. It has been noticed for 

 some time that the old nonpareil has got 

 into disuse from age and its being sub- 

 ject to canker, the cause of its not suc- 

 ceeding in many instances. The scarlet 

 variety is however but little inferior both 

 in flavour and produce to the old sort, so 

 that we have in it a valuable substitute.
