VARIETIES OF APPLE, 75 



The tree grows stout, moderately vigorous, forming a fine 

 TOund head, and is a regular and abundant hearer every year. 

 The tree is sufiiciently hardy to thrive weU in most parts of the 

 country, only the extremely cold parts need be excepted, and 

 ■does well on all dry soils. 



Late Strawberry. — Autumn Stratoberry. — ^A very handsome 

 and excellent variety, which originated in Western I^ew York, 

 and has been very generally disseminated. The tree is reputed 

 to be hardy, enduring the western climate as far north, at least, 

 as Iowa, and will, beyond doubt, be sufficiently so to thrive in 

 the greater part of Canada. It is deserving of more attention 

 frova. our fruit growers than it has yet received, especially as a 

 dessert fruit, for it combines with excellence of quality, a very 

 attractive appearance, while the tree is a constant and abundant 

 "bearer. The apple is full medium size, roundish conical, red, 

 striped with darker red, beautifully shaded according to the 

 exposure to light, and covered with a thin bloom ; flesh yeUowish 

 •white, juicy and tender, with a very pleasant vinous flavor; 

 •quality "very goodj" indeed, none better in its season, which is 

 aU the month of November. 



Monmouth Pippin. — Med-cJieek Pippin. — Considerable inte- 

 rest seems to have been manifested within a few years past by 

 planters, in some sections, in the cultivation of this variety. It 

 derives its name from the county in the State of New Jersey in 

 "which it originated, and has been successfully grown in the more 

 southern New England States; but from aU we can at present 

 learn of the tree, we do not believe that it possesses that degree 

 of hardihood which wUl make it valuable to those not residing 

 in the most favored apple districts of Canada. The tree has an 

 «rect habit of growth, is moderately vigorous, and a good bearer. 

 The apples are large, pale greenish yellow, with a ruddy cheek; 

 flesh yeUowish white, juicy, sub-acid, with considerable perfume; 

 quality "very good." In use from December to March. 



Mother. — ^We desire to call attention to this variety, on 

 account of the hardihood of the tree and excellence of the fruit.
