BEINCKLE'S ORANGE RASPBERRY. 



Imported Cov/s.— Paran Stevens, Esq., the wel- 

 known proprietor of the Revere House, has just 

 received by the ship Simoda, from Havre, three 

 superior cows purchased by him at the late Paris 

 Exhibition, where each of them took a prize. Two 

 of them are of the Guernsey, and the other is of 

 the Alderney breed. The two Guernsey cows have 

 bull calves, and the other cow a heifer calf, all of 

 which arrived safely. Mr. Stevens considered 

 these the finest specimens of the breeds to which 

 they belong, that he met with in Europe. They 

 have been sent for the present to Nahant.

This is a new variety 

 of this excellent fruit, ori- 

 ginated and propagated 

 by the highly intelligent 

 and indefatigable gentle- 

 man, Doct. Brlnckle, 

 whose name it bears. — 

 Mr. Geo. Davenport, 14 

 Commercial Street, who 

 has it for sale, has fruited 

 it this season, and exhi- 

 bited it at the Horticul- 

 tural Rooms in this city. 

 He showed branches on 

 the 23d of August, on 

 which were berries in full 

 perfection as to ripeness, 

 with others in all stages 

 down to undeveloped 

 blossoms. He states that 

 he picked the first ripe 

 fruit from the same stalks 

 July 12, that the plants 

 stood the winter well, and 

 have every appearance of 

 hardiness. 



The fruit is of good size 

 and flavor, and as its 

 name indicates, is of an 

 orange color. It also 

 promises to be a very 

 prolific variety. 



A gentleman 0!i the 

 Hudson river, a horticul- 

 turist, and a judge of 

 these fruits, says : 



"In flavor and beauty 

 it has no competitors, 

 and is not surpassed by 

 any variety in any good 

 quality. It equals Kne- 

 vett's giant in hardiness 

 and vigor, and continues 

 as long in bearing as 

 River's Monthly, Gushing 

 and V. P. French, which 

 is as long as the season 

 continues warm enough to ripen the fruit. I have 

 picked fine large berries on the 10th of October, 

 with its leaves as green as at any time in the sea- 

 son, with the Antwerp and Fastalf by its side, 

 brown and dry, killed by frost. This has been imi- 

 formly the case in different localities, during the five 

 years that it has been in cultivation." 



Fodder Corn. — The attention of the reader is 

 called to an excellent article on this subject, in 

 another column. It should have been published at 

 an earlier date ; but will be preserved for reference 

 in the Monthly edition of the Farmer.
