have a local name whence it came, it becomes lost or is inappropriate here. 

 Others having a good name at home, have it so corrupted by the time it reaches 

 us, that its indentity is lost; as, for instance, the Cayuga Red Streak, of 

 Western New York, is here called the Lima; in other places the Twenty- 

 ounce Ajiplc, or the Twenty-ounce Pippin. The Committee of the Society are 

 generally familiar with the names of the common varieties, and of the new 

 varieties that have received public notice and commendation ; but no Commit- 

 tee can be familiar with local or arbitrary names. It is the duty of the exhib- 

 itor to help the Committee, as far as possible, by ascertaining from friends the 

 names of varieties sent from abroad, and by adhering to the true name, if any 

 has been given.
