New Apples, Peaches and Grapes. 113 



cultivated in Concord, Mass. Our friend Mr. Moore, who 

 sent us some excellent specimens, informs us that it originated 

 in that town, that it is a great bearer, and readily brings 75 

 cents to ^1 a barrel more than the Baldwin. It is an apple 

 of good size, roundish form, with a yellowish green skin, dis- 

 tinctly striped with pale red, and possessing a rich and sugary 

 juice. In eating from November to February. 



Granny Earle. — First introduced to notice by E. Phinney, 

 Esq., of Lexington. It is a small apple, of roundish oval 

 form, green skin, striped and splashed with red, with a white, 

 crisp and tender flesh, abundant juice, and high flavored. 

 Ripening from November to January. 



Winter Harvey. — A very large conical apple, slightly rib- 

 bed, a native of Maine ; skin clear pale yellow : stem very 

 short : flesh, yellowish, firm and tender, juicy and excellent. 

 Ripe in December and keeps till April. Several barrels have 

 been sent to Boston market annually for the last three or four 

 years, and they retail as rapidly as any other kind. Some 

 specimens exhibited March 29, 1845, before the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society, were in fine preservation. 



The President is the name of a new variety highly recom- 

 mended by some of our friends in western New York, where 

 the variety is cultivated. We are promised a full account of 

 it ere long. 



Leland Pippin. — This is the name of a variety cultivated 

 in the vicinity of Sherburne, Mass., and takes its name, we 

 believe, from our old friend Deacon Leland, of the Sherburne 

 nursery, who first introduced it to notice. It comes in after 

 the Porter, and is said to be fully equal to that fine variety. 



Peaches. The rapidity with which seedling peaches are 

 produced, would lead us to suppose that a greater number of 

 fine varieties might have been raised. But, with few ex- 

 ceptions, the list of fine new ones is exceedingly limited, and 

 but a small number of them equal such foreign kinds as the 

 Noblesse, Grosse Mignonne, Malta, &c. Recently, there has 

 been a greater interest manifested in the production of seed- 

 lings, and we may hope soon to see some additions of greater 

 value than many which now fill up the catalogues. The fol- 

 lowing are new and promise well : —
