 June, 1867. 



JBeauty of America. — A large yellow winter apple of 

 good quality, which has been but little cultivated, although 

 known to the poraologists of Ohio for many years. It is 

 now thought to be worthy of more extended cultivation. 

 Figured and described in the Horticulturist for March, 

 1867. 



Crotcher. — Medium size oblate conic ; skin, whitish, 

 sometimes with a slight blush, and thinly sprinkled with 

 white dots. Of a rich subacid flavor. Ripens in August. 

 Figured and described in Horticulturist for October. 



Dodge's Crimson. — From Cumberland 'Co., Tenn. A 

 promising winter variety. Figured and described in 

 American Agriculturist for March. 



Duchess of Oldenhurg (Syn. Dorovitsky Carlowinsky). 

 — An old variety from Russia. It was placed on the 

 rejected list of the American Pomological Society in 1858, 

 but restored to partial favor in 1862. In the last few 

 years it has been discovered that this is one of the most 

 hardy varieties in cultivation, consequently it has become 

 very popular in our Northwestern States. Nurserymen in 

 those regions have found it impossible to supply the 

 demand for this variety. One nurseryman in Wisconsin 

 (J. S. Stickney) writes that a large portion of the 600,000 

 stocks worked the present winter will be with the 

 Ducliess of Oldenbui-g, and the balance with Siberian 

 Crab Apple. Mr. Stickney has had twenty years' experi- 

 ence in apple-gi-owing in Wisconsin, and we presume lie 

 knows what kinds are the most valuable in that section
