EARLY BUTTER OF CINCINNATI. 



This is a variety which our Cincin- 

 nati pomologists seem unable to recog- 

 nize with any known description. We 

 have been unable to examine the fruit 

 in perfection, but some small specimens 

 received, from which our drawing was 

 made, induced a guess at Dearborn Seed- 

 ling. 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, "very good." Last July.
