Riversh early Heart. — A niedliim sized cherry, earfy, and 

 of good quality; hardy, and a good bearer. 



Rivers^s early ^^mber Heart. — Of large size, very early, 

 and excellent flapor; a hardy tree, and good bearer. This 

 and the last named were raised by Mr. Rivers, nurseryman, 

 Sawbridgeworih, England, and are desirable additions to this 

 fruit. 



Peaches. — A great number of new varieties have recent- 

 ly been brought into notice, and we intend, at a future time, 

 to enumerate all that are considered valuable. For the pres- 

 ent we merely notice a few new kinds, which we find more 

 particularly described. 



Tippecanoe. — In the Orchardist''s Companion for April, is 

 a fine fruit figured under this nani«, and thus described: — 



Size very large; form nearly round, with rather more ful- 

 ness at the lower extremity; skin yellow, with a fine red blush 

 next the sun; flesh yellow, fine and juicy; flavor good, pos- 

 sessing an agreeable acidity. It is stated to have been raised 

 by Mr. George Thomas, of Philadelphia, and the first fruit 

 brought to notice in the autumn of 1840; the tree is an abun- 

 dant bearer; ripens the end of September. The fruit has been 

 exhibited at the two last annual exhibitions of the Pennsylva- 

 nia Horticultural Society, and much admired for its beauty. 

 The name of this variety, unless given previous to the au- 

 tumn of 1840, should be cancelled, as in our Magazine for 

 the same year, (Vol. VI., p. 348,) an account of a new 

 seedling, under the name of the Tippecanoe, was there pub- 

 lished. 'J'he variety was the production of our correspondent, 

 INIr. Lazell, of Columbus, Ohio; and through his kindness we 

 received scions in a newspaper, which came alive, and were 

 inserted in young trees, one of which we have now in bearing. 

 As Mr. Lazell's name has the priority, to prevent confusion 

 it should be known as the real Tippecanoe peach, and the 

 name of Mr. Thomas's altered. 



Easlburn''s Choice, another new variety, figured in the same 

 publication. Size large; form nearly round; skin pale yellow, 

 with a fine blush on the sunny side; flesh yellowish white, with 

 a tinge of red round the stem, which is very small; flavor ex- 

 ceeding pleasant and sprightly, with a very juicy flesh. Ri- 

 pens late in September. Raised about five years since, by 

 Mr. Keith, of Kensington, Philadelphia. The name is giv- 

 en in honor of the Rev. Mr. Eastburn, who was formerly
