lingstone, 

 Apple. 



American. The flavor of this variety, except grown in warm 

 climate and good soil, would not place it among the first class ; but 

 the uniform hardihood and productiveness of the tree, together with 

 the fine appearance of the fruit, making it very desirable for market- 

 ing purposes, has induced us to retain it. Flowers, small ; glands, 

 reniform ; fruit, large, oblong, with a projecting point at apex like 

 unto a lemon ; skin, fine yellow, with a dark brownish red cheek, 

 becoming sometimes, in certain locations South, almost a crimson 

 red ; flesh, firm, yellow, tinged with red at stone, juicy, sprightly, 

 vinous, sub-acid flavor. Season, middle to last of September. 

 Clingstone. The "Yellow Blanton Cling" is only a sub-variety, 

 ripening a few days later. 



NEW YORK RARERIPE. 



Livingston's New York Rareripe, I Honest John, 

 Large Early York, Haine's Early Red. 



Early York of New Jersey. 



American. The synonyms which we attach to this variety, we 

 are aware, are questioned by some good pomologists, but after 

 having grown and examined the trees under the several names, we 

 confess ourselves unable to distinguish any material difference, cer- 

 tainly not sufficient to make distinct descriptions requisite. Trees, 

 vigorous, healthy, moderate but good bearers; flowers, small; 

 glands, globose ; fruit, above medium, roundish ; skin, whitish, with 

 marblings and dots of red, with a clear, rich, red cheek, where ex- 

 posed to the sun ; flesh, almost white, fine-grained, very juicy, rich, 

 mild, excellent flavor. Season, last of August. Freestone. 



NIVETTB. 



White Rareripe, I Veloute Tardive, 



Nivette Veloute, * j Dorsetshire. 



Foreign. An old variety, which succeeds most admirably 

 throughout all Northern sections, and, where known, equally well 

 South. Trees, upright, healthy growth, regular bearers ; flowers, 

 small ; glands, globose ; fruit, large, roundish, inclining to oval ; 

 suture, shallow, point or apex slightly depressed ; skin, yellowish 

 green, and, when exposed to sun, a bright, lively, red cheek ; flesh, 

 greenish white, tinged with reddish pink at the stone, juicy, melting, 

 with a rich, delicious flavor. Season, early in September. Free- 

 stone.
