5. A few apples of a second and third crop from 



same tree. This is an extraordinary and unac- 



luntable phenomenon. I got the tree that bore 



kse apples by the name of the Golden Pippin. 



liis 13 tliB second year of its bearing fruit. The 



it crop was a beautiful yellow early apple, and a 



■y pleasant table fruit, the taste different from 



common pippin ; it being sweeter. They ri- 



ed in September, and the last of them were eaten 



ut the middle of October, and they had begun to 



I did not see or observe the tree in blossom 



second and third time, but it must have been in 



and August. They grow in clusters, on the 



3 of the branches, as you will see by those sent. 



'■Ilese apples are not sent you as of any value, but 



Jrely to shew one of the unaccountable sports of 



ure. 



6. Two books on the Cultivation of the Vine, 

 1 making Wine, with a pamphlet to each — one 

 the President, and the other for the Library of 

 Society. 



This has been the worst year we have had for 

 ning fruits since the year 181G. My Bland's 

 eira grapes did not ripen this season, and are 

 hanging on the vines unripe, though we had no 

 t until the 12th inst., to injure or kill even the 

 Peppers, (Capsicums;) and more than three 

 tlis of our Peaches rotted and dried on the trees 

 ut the time they had their full growth. Even 

 e fourths of the Hickory nuts, are void of ker- 

 this year, although they otherwise appear to 

 e come to maturity. And the farmers complain 

 the ears of Indian Corn are not so well filled to 

 end as usual. Our beef cattle, although they 

 ear as fat as in other years, do not weigh so 

 h, neither do they turn out tallow according to 

 appearance. The butchers and others com- 

 n of the beef being flabby, and not so good as it 

 ht to be from its appearance ; which I suppose is 

 to the grass being so succulent, on account 

 he wetness of the season. 

 I am, with great respect, 



" your most obedient servant.

Sir — I have your letter of the 12th August, in- 

 ling me of the honor done me by the Horticultu- 

 society of Massachusetts, for whicli I pray you 

 resent my acknowledgments. I shall have great 



ure in ail opportunities of being useful, and now 

 mence with a trial. 

 Capt. Mackat, of the Ship Boston, has been so 



as to take charge of a packet containing a vari- 

 jf seeds, which 1 present to the Society ; and be- 

 ndebted to an amateur for these seeds, who is 

 .ys in search of something in that way, I shall, 

 never perfectly convenient, be happy to receive 

 offering in kind. 



With sentiments of esteem and respect, 

 _" I have the honor to be 



"your faithful, obedient servant.

H. A. S. Dearborn, 



Pres- Mass. Iloit. Society, 



Mt dear Sir — I have this day procured and put 

 ^ or you, some cuttings from the ' Buck Grape,' 

 h I hope will reach you in good order. I know 

 whether the scions will correspond in length 

 your views in relation to the culture of the 

 e; Parmentier strenuously, recommends the 

 ation, if possible of three sets of roots, if in or- 

 ,0 attain this object, it should even be necessary 

 ke up the vine after it has had one year's growth, 

 to place it deeper in the ground ; and in the 

 instance, I believe, puts two or three eyes be- 

 1 the surface. I find my gardener, who has been 

 od deal accustomed to the cultivation of fruit, 

 nate in his belief that the cuttings should be so 



placed, that the roots may not go deeply towards 

 the subsoil. Accordingly 1 find that he has made 

 the scions I send you, short. May I ask for the re- 

 sult of your experience on this subject .' 



'• I send, besides a supply for your own use, a few 

 scions to be distributed among the members of the 

 Society. I do not think these cuttings arc so thrifty 

 as they should be; the vine was nearly stripped du- 

 ring the absence of my gardener in New York, so 

 that there was no choice left us. I am promised 

 some, however, from younger vines, which have been 

 raised by a gentleman in this neighborhood, and 

 have proved very productive. Should I not be dis- 

 appointed in my expectations of receiving them, I 

 may have an opportunity, ere long, of sending you 

 some, more worthy your acceptance. 



" For your valuable present of the Pine Jipple 

 Strawberry, I beg you to accept my thanks. They 

 arrived in fine order, and are now in a state which 

 promises fair for the next season. 

 "I am, dear Sir, 



" with respect and esteem, 

 " your obedient servant.

Hartford, Conn. Dec. 5, 1839. 



j\'ote by Zebedee Cook, Jr. — With deference to 

 the authority of Mr Parmentier, I would take 

 leave to observe, that the best grape vines I have 

 ever seen, were raised from one, and two eyes. I 

 believe the most experienced horticulturists in this 

 vicinity pursue this course. I was instructed by one 

 whose practical knowledge is generally and deserv- 

 edly respected, and by no one more than myself 

 I know not whether to attribute to this mode of 

 planting, the precocity of my vines ; but one thing 

 is certain — cuttings set by me in 1823, of 4, 5, and 

 (J eyes, bore fruit for the first time in 1828; while 

 very many of 2 eyes, planted in 1826 and 1827, have 

 produced fire bunches of fruit the past season. So 

 far as my observations have extended, I am fully in- 

 clined to the belief, that two eyes are better than a 

 greater number, to form fine roots, and a healthy 

 and vigorous plant. 



Samdel Downer, Esq. 



"Dear Sir — You Will recollect in my communi- 

 cation to you last July, respecting the Buck Grape, 

 I was not at all confident that you were not at that 

 time in possession of the same grape, under a differ- 

 ent name. I have very lately, (from good authority) 

 become satisfied that it is the Itimie Grape. I take 

 pleasure in informing you of this, that the publio may 

 have the correct and approved name for the grape 

 which war, then described ; also thereby diminishing 

 the perplexity occasioned by a multiplicity of names. 

 If, under the above circumstances, it will bo gratify- 

 ing to you or any of your Society, to receive cut- 

 tings (under the correct name,) I will forward them 

 with pleasure. 



I am, dear Sir, 



respectfully yours.

25 bushels of Ihe fine seedling potatoes mentioned by the 

 Editor of th.^ New England Farmer, in the current volume p. 

 102. This is but the fourth year from the hall ; they look the 

 premium from the Essex Agricultural Socieiy in 1827, (See 

 Col, Pickering's Report, N. E, Farmer, vol. vi, page 98.) — 

 they are represented by the person who raised them, as tolera-

 and meally, size nearly round, color white, and have but very 

 few protuberances. A good opportunity now offers to farmers 

 to secure a superior variety of this important vegetable for 

 seed. They are packed in bags of one bushel each, and are

 person who raised them, viz, S2,12 cents per bushel, including
