well-drained, as well as cool soil." In other locations it 

 sustains the same high character there given of it, and 

 we have found it decidedly the best in our own garden. 



WOODWARD'S WHITESMITH. 



This is another large, beautiful, and excellent Eng- 

 lish variety very productive, and is usually over one 

 inch in length. The color is white, and tree of erect 

 habit. 



Eoaring Lion and Crown Bob Warrington are also 

 large, good varieties of red color. 



Golden Drop and Yellow Lion are fine yellow kinds. 



Green Laurel, Conquering Hero, and Green Willow, 

 green varieties. 



We might name a great number of varieties nearly 

 as good, but do not know that any benefit could be 

 derived from it. 



HOUGHTON'S SEEDLING. 



An American seedling of very vigorous habit, great 

 bearer, and said never to mildew. It is of pale red 

 color, rather under medium size ; of good, rich flavor, 

 and well worthy of cultivation. 



We have also cultivated for some years an American 

 seedling variety resembling Houghton's Seedling in 

 every respect, except being of larger size, and greenish- 

 white color. It is very valuable.
