 Should they arrive in good order, and, from the 

 descri|)tioii, be a kind you are not aheaily in pos- 

 session of, 1 desire, if acceptable, that you give two 

 or three grafts to the Hon. Joh.n Lowell, and 



back. The average price of bops has been about i after helping yourself, if you cultivate fruit, dis- 

 9J cts. per pound. This low price has partly been i pose of the rest as you see proper, perhaps, not 

 occasioned by the large quantity reni;:inii]g in forgetting Doct. Harris, to whom we are likewise 

 store, of the previous year's growth, and partly ; already under obligations, for his publications on 

 from the depression of tlie brewing business in \ Entomology, &c.

To Select Jlppic Graflings. — Apples containing a 

 large portion of saccharine matter, will make ci- 

 der, that will preserve the longest. This property 

 can be easily distinguished, by plunging them in a 

 strong solution of salt and water; the poorest sort 

 will keep nearest to the surface. In this manner 

 graftings can be taken from the best sorts.

members, and are all disposed of.] 



I herewith send you a few grafts from an apple 

 tree which is here called the German Sweet, or 

 Winter Sweet Paradise. Its origin I have not been 

 able to trace. The color of the bark is dark, and 

 unusually smooth, and free iiom blemish. The 

 young trees from the nursery, although well pro- 

 portioned as to taper, are generally as straight as 

 fishing rods ; and the limbs, as the head begins to 

 form, are disposed to grow like the Lomhardy 

 Poplar tree, iiniii their inclination is altered and 

 the head of the tree spread by sustaining a load of 

 fruit. The fruit is about the size and color of a 

 Yetloiv JVcwton Pippin (perhaps a very little paler) 

 with a fine blush on one side, the skin smooth. — 

 The taste very agreeably sweet, and the flavor, to 

 me, more like a tine pear than an apple. It ripens 

 late and keeps well. The dried fruit (or snits^ as
