FINK'S SEEDLING. 



This long keeper was brought before the notice of the 

 Ohio Pomological Society many years ago by Mr. Clarke, 

 of Somerset, Ohio. Mr. Elliott considered it the same as 

 Tewksbury Winter Blush, and introduces Fink's Seedling 

 as a synonym of that variety. Others think it a different 

 fruit, among whom is that practical Pomologist, the Secre- 

 tary of that association, M. B. Bateham, Esq., who has 

 propagated and planted the trees extensively. It was de- 

 scribed as Fink's Seedling in the Ohio Cultivator, May, 

 1847. At the meeting of 1854, the merits and claims of 

 this variety were freely discussed, and the Society named 

 it the Fink, after admitting that it was an original seed- 

 ling, as stated by Mr. Fink, in whose seedling orchard it 

 had originated.
