Marine's Seedlings. A number of varieties were produced by Wm. M. Marine about

 and then applying the water to the stigma of the sort to be fertilized. Of the varieties 

 thus produced are Nerluton, Greencastle, Leon, Lucas, Mianna, Malvin, Olympia, King 

 William, Minnie, Harriet Beecher, U. B., Uncle Tom, Red Jacket, and many others.
