II. NOTICES OF SOME NEW FRUITS NOT DE- 

 SCRIBED IN THE BODY OF THIS WORK. 



[New fruits are to be recommended for trial, and not for 

 general crops. Eagerness for novelties has led to much 

 disappointment. The fruit committee of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society, make the following very just remarks: 

 "Upon the whole, it is believed that it will prove the best 

 and safest course for beginners to make their selections 

 from well known and established kinds, unless in their esti- 

 mation, the gratification of a desire for novelties — an inte- 

 rest in watching the pros^ress and development of some new 

 varieties, and of contributing from their experience a share 

 to the common stock of pomological knowledge — form a 

 sufficient recompense for probably repeated disappoint- 

 ments." A part of the following, it will be observed, how- 

 ever, have been well proved in certain localities.] 



APPLES. 



Carolina June, [Red June, Blush June.) Size medium, 

 oblong, very red, flesh tender, juicy, sub-acid, with a 

 sprigiitly, agreeable flavor ; quite early, and continues to 

 ripen for four weeks, and will keep very long after ripe 

 for a .summer apple ; profitable for market. The tree a 

 fine erect grower, ver}^ hardy, bears young and abundant- 

 ly. The most valuable early apple in northern Illinois 

 and adjacent region. 



^all Wine. Medium to large, roundish oblate, color a rich 

 red faintly striped on a rich yellow skin; stem slender, 

 flesh yellow, crisp, tender, juicy, with a mild, rich, scarcely 

 sub-acid flavor. Mid-autumn till winter. Succeeds best 

 in the west — often scabby at the east. 



KING. {Syn. Tompkins County King.) Large, sometimes 

 quite large, roundish ribbed ; color a deep red, in stripes ; 

 flesh tender, juicy, rich, high-flavored. Fruit ahvays fair; 

 tree a strong grower, and great bearer. Winter. This 

 will probably prove one of the best of all market apples.
