CLASS I. Worthy General Cultivation. 



BURR'S NEW PINE. 



Originated at Columbus, Ohio, in 1846, on a 

 clayey soil. Flowers, pistillate, large for the sex ; 

 vines, hardy, vigorous, very productive ; fruit, 

 large, obovate or rounded, light pale red ; seeds, 

 slightly imbedded ; flesh, whitish pink, delicate 

 aromatic flavor, sweet an.d delicious ; core, firm, 

 long, rounded, too tender for a market fruit, highly 

 desirable in gardens. Ripens among the very 

 earliest. 



WESTERN QUEEN. 



Originated at Cleveland, by Prof. J. P. Kirt- 

 land, in 1849, on gravelly loam. Flowers, pistil- 

 late ; vines, very hardy ; foot-stalks, long ; foliage, 

 dark, acuminate ; truss, well spread, very pro- 

 ductive ; fruit, medium to large, regular, rounded, 

 conical, very little inclination 'to form a neck ; 

 color, rich dark glossy red ; seeds, dark ; flesh, yel- 

 lowish stained, firm, juicy, sub-acid, sprightly and 

 agreeable flavor ; core, long, conical. This variety 

 bears carriage well, and being less acid as well as 

 larger than Hudson or Willey, should supersede 

 them.
