 a higher character than has been given to this variety by 

 our cultivators, though Mr. Manning (Vol. HI, page 46) con- 

 sidered it as " highly deserving of cultivation." Specimens 

 that we have generally seen would not warrant us in plac- 

 ing iV first rate: yet under favorable circumstances it may 

 prove so. It is fully described in our Vol. I, page 91, 

 by Mr. Downer, who was the first to bring it into 

 notice.
