 "Exceedingly well adapted to the locality" of Cincinnati." 

 — F. G. Car}). Cincinnati Horticultural Society's Fruit 

 Committee consider it generally " a prime favorite." The 

 tree is very j^rolitic, and should be thinned, and well fed, 

 to produce choice specimens. Its late blooming has 

 caused it to be named " Neverfail," as it thus often escapes 

 frosts that have killed the blossoms of otliers, as the Bell- 

 flower, etc. It is called by the Scriptural name of Eock 

 Eimmon, in the Scioto Valley, on account of its sure bear- 

 ing, and long keeping qualities. " Eecommended unani- 

 mously." — Travs. Ohio Pum. Society. The more red stripes 

 there are in it, the better the fruit. The more green, the 

 "worse. Its greatest fiault is, a too great tendency to bear. 

 This is only to be remedied well by pruning, both inside 

 and out, or thinning and shortening in. It is a great mat- 

 ter to adapt the pruning to the habit of the tree. Some 

 varieties want a great deal, and some but little.
