138 Re-establishing Grafted Fruit Trees 



we have tried several, and have found the following very- 

 fine sorts : Superb White Spine^ Victory of Suffolk, Roman 

 Emperor, Weeden' s Prize. They produce fruit from fifteen 

 to twenty-four inches long. A new variety received this sea- 

 son called the Race Horse, is stated to he thirty-three inches 

 long. We shall report upon it after a trial. 



Celery. — After the great satisfaction which Seymour's 

 Superb White has given, it would seem unnecessary to notice 

 other sorts, but, notwithstanding its excellence, in some soils 

 it does not do so well as in others, and other varieties may 

 sometimes succeed better. We would recommend a variety 

 called the Lion's Paw, which is very hardy, and excellent, 

 producing solid stems of fine size. 



Lettuce. — The Neio Bath Cos. — The Cos lettuces are but 

 little cultivated, compared with the other sorts : in general, 

 they do not head well, but run up to seed. The Bath Cos 

 has not the tendency to do so of others of its class ; and al- 

 though it is quite new, we would recommend a trial of it by 

 all those who like a very superior lettuce ; if it should head 

 well, with proper cultivation, it must become extensively cul- 

 tivated, from the delicacy and tenderness of its heads. 



Cabbages. — Waiters New Early Dwarf. — Among the new 

 cabbages of recent introduction is one under this name, which 

 is stated to be a very superior variety, being early, dwarf 

 in its growth, and fine flavored. The new Victoria is another 

 variety, early, of dwarf habit, and delicious flavor, highly 

 spoken of in England. 



Some other new ones are advertised, but we reserve our 

 notice of them till we have tried them ourselves.
