The following list represented some of the best kinds : 



Early Summer Bow, Summer Rose, 



Fall Harvey, Drap d'or, 



Williams' Favorite. 



In strong, highly manured soil the following : 

 Lyscom, Porter, 



Gravenstein, Eibstone Pippen, 



Hunt's Russett, Rhode Island Greening, 



Baldwin, 

 Roxbury Russett, — considered by some a shy bearer. 



In light warm soil the Yellow Bell-flower can be recom- 

 mended ; and in strong retentive soil the Pickman Pippin. 

 Other fine apples are the 



Minister, 



Canu or Seaver's Sweeting, Dan vers Winter Sweet, 

 Haskell Sweet, Hubbardston Nonesuch. 



Mother, — a fine fall fruit from Bolton, Mass. 



This apple, Mr. I. considered to stand at the head of our 

 winter kinds ; not so acid as the Baldwin, and at least six 

 weeks earlier for eating. It may be known by its yellow 

 flesh. A spurious kind has its new wood and growing 

 shoots of a pendant habit. One of the greatest acquisitions 

 to our winter apples is the Red Russett, first grown in 

 Hampton and brought from eastern New Hampshire. It is 

 of the size of the Baldwin, more handsomely colored, of a 

 golden yellow, interspersed wdth bright red ; heavier and 

 more solid and will keep well until Spring ; it ought to be 

 generally cultivated. 



Mr. Ives made some remarks upon the 



Alexander, Peck's Pleasant, 



Fall Pippin, Jonathan, 



Sweet Pearmain.
