EvALiNE. — Large, roundish, somewhat flattened, yellowish-green

 and fragrant, and dotted with numerous white specks. Stem stout, 

 short, inserted in a very narrow russeted shallow cavity ; calyx closed 

 in a very shallow broad and slightly wrinkled basin. Flesh yellowish, 

 very fine grained, juicy, exceedingly pleasant. 



Bloomfield, is of large size and most attractive appearance, the 

 color being a very deep red, striped and splashed with dark red. Stem 

 very short, in a deep but narrow russeted cavity. Eye closed, in a 

 very shallow irregular basin, Elesh v/hite, fine grained, juicy, pleasant 

 sub-acid.

 dots. Stem very short, inserted in a deep, regular, russeted cavity, 

 calyx open, in a broad regular basin of moderate depth. Flesh very 

 fine grained, yellowish-white, not very juicy, rich, with a very pleasant, 

 almost pearmain flavor. This seems to be a good keeper.

 ground, striped with purplish red ; stem very short, inserted in a very 

 narrow regular cavity ; calyx closed in broad shallow wrinkled basin. 

 Flesh nearly white, fine grained, exceedingly tender, juicy, mild sub-

Caiuue is of medium size, conical, yellow ground beautifully mot- 

 tled with red on the shaded side, becoming deep red in the sun, and 

 striped with dark red. Stem long, very slender, in a- deep, narrow 

 russeted cavity ; calyx closed, in a broad, wrinkled and very shallow 

 basin. Flesh white, stained with red, fine grained, juicy, pleasant

Bennet ^s somewhat above medium in size, having considerable 

 resemblance to a Baldwin in form and color, and profusely sprinkled 

 with small gray dots. Stem very stout and short, in a very broad 

 shallow cavity; calyx nearly closed, in a smooth, regular basin of 

 moderate depth. Core very small ; flesh yellow, very juicy and very 

 fine grained, crisp, rich and very pleasant mild flavor. 



These varieties are worthy of the attention of those who reside in 

 the very cold parts of Canada; and coming, as they do, from a State 

 where only the most hardy sorts, such as Alexander, St. Lawrence, and 

 Duchess of Oldenburg will succeed, there will no doubt be some among 

 them that will prove to be of great value in those sections.
