Beurre' Bosc. — First rate. Mr. Hovey remarked, that it 

 did not grow well on the quince, unless double grafted. 



APPLES. 



RoxBURY Russet. — First rate. No remarks were made up- 

 on this apple. 



Hawthorndean. — First rate for cooking — second quality, 

 productive and handsome. Messrs. Dougal, Barry and Ho- 

 vey, thought its beauty, productiveness, early bearing, and 

 good qualities as an early cooking apple, made it a variety 

 well worthy of general cultivation. 



Maiden's Blush. — Second rate, very beautiful, and a good 

 bearer. Resembles the Hawthorndean, and has heretofore 

 been confounded with it. It is, however, quite distinct. 



Autumn Swaar. — Presented for information. Mr. Good- 

 sell said it was a handsome, second rate fruit. 



Rambo. — The president said it was the fall and early win- 

 ter apple of Illinois, and Mr. Bateham, that it was more es- 

 teemed in Ohio than any other variety. 



Rawle's Janet. — Much praised in Illinois, where, from 

 its late blooming, it escapes spring frosts : a constant and 

 good bearer, and excellent keeper. Mr. Bryam stated, that it 

 was one of the standard fruits of Kentucky, and they had to 

 make up their store of fruits from this alone, in consequence 

 of the injuries by frost to other varieties. It was very pro- 

 ductive, bearing generally every year : he had kept speci- 

 mens till August.
