EARLY BUTTER OF CINCINNATI. 



This is a variety which our Cin- 

 cinnati Pomologists seem unable to 

 recognize with any known descrip- 

 tion. We have been unable to ex- 

 amine the fruit in perfection, but 

 some small specimens received, from 

 which our drawing was made, in- 

 duced a guess at Dearborn Seedling. 

 The original tree at Cincinnati is 

 said to have been probably brought 

 from New Jersey. It is of upright 

 growth, short-jointed, yellowish 

 brown wood, forming a handsome 

 symmetrical head. Fruit, small, 

 oblong ovate, narrowing most to 

 the stem, light greenish yellow, with 

 dark green specks, rarely a bronzed 

 red in sun ; calyx, prominent ; seg- 

 ments, bold, reflexed ; core, compact ; 

 seeds, few, defective ; flesh, white, 

 juicy, buttery j " very good." Last 

 July.
