MOST GENERALLY ESTEEMED.

a slight difference, we are inclined to think it only from varied location 

 and soil. The variety came from New Jersey. It is esteemed for orchard 

 ing on rich bottom lands or prairies, being a good bearer, great keeper, and 

 valuable for Southern exportation. Fruit, above medium to large, round- 

 ish ; dull yellow, striped, splashed, or mottled with light and dark red ; 

 calyx and basin, medium ; stem, generally short, slender ] cavity, roundish 

 acuminate ; core, rather small ; seeds, oblong pyriform ', flesh, yellowish, 

 rather dry, breaking, mild sub-acid ; not quite " very good." December to 

 May. 



WILLIAMS' FAVORITE. 



Williams' Favorite Bed, 

 Williams' Early, 



Williams' Red, 

 Williams' Early Bed. 



From Massachusetts. Tree, medium growth ; shoots, reddish brown. 

 Fruit medium to large, oblong ; fine clear red, very dark in sun ; calyx, 

 closed ; basin, narrow ] stem, slender ; flesh, yellowish white, tender ; " very 

 good." August. 



YELLOW NEWTOWN PIPPIN. 



This variety is extensively grown ; West it becomes large ; keeps well. 

 Trees, though slender growth, good bearers, are apparently perfectly at 

 home in rich limestone soils. That there are two Newtown Pippins, we do 

 not question ; see " Newtown Pippin ;" but we have supposed there might 

 be three, but whether the distinction is without a difference we are yet un- 

 prepared to decide. We give here two figures, and descriptions, of which 

 the latter Newtown Pippin of Lewis Sanders, Esq., may possibly prove 

 identical with Y. N. P.
