VARIETIES OP APPLE. 75 



The tree grows stout, moderately vigorous, forming a fine 

 round head, and is a regular and ahundant hearer every year. 

 The tree is sufficiently hardy to thrive well iu most parts of the 

 country, only the extremely cold parts need he excepted, and 

 does weU. on all dry soUs. 



Late Strawbeeet. — Autumn Strawberry . — A very handsome 

 and excellent variety, which originated in Western New York, 

 and has heen very generally disseminated. The tree is reputed 

 to he hardy, enduring the western chmate as far north, at least, 

 as Iowa, and will, heyond douht, he sufficiently so to thrive in 

 the greater part of Canada. It is deserving of more attention 

 from our fruit growers than it has yet received, especially as a 

 dessert fruit, for it comhines with excellence of quality, a very 

 attractive appearance, while the tree is a constant and abundant 

 bearer. The apple is full medium size, roundish conical, red, 

 striped with darker red, heautifuHy shaded according to the 

 exposure to light, and covered with a thin hloom ; flesh yellowish 

 white, juicy and tender, with a very pleasant vinous flavor; 

 quality "very good;" indeed, none better in its season, which is 

 aU the month of November. 



Monmouth Pippin. — Red-cheek Pippin. — Considerable inte- 

 rest seems to have been manifested within a few years past by 

 planters, in some sections, in the cultivation of this variety. It 

 derives its name from the county in the State of New Jersey in 

 which it originated, and has been successfully grown in the more 

 southern New England States; but from all we can at present 

 learn of the tree, we do not believe that it possesses that degree 

 of hardihood which wiU make it valuable to those not residing 

 in the most favored apple districts of Canada. The tree has an 

 erect habit of growth, is moderately vigorous, and a good bearer. 

 The apples are large, pale greenish yellow, with a ruddy cheek; 

 flesh yellowish white, juicy, sub-acid, with considerable perfume ; 

 quality "very good." In use from December to March. 



Mothee. — ^We desire to call attention to this variety, on 

 account of the hardihood of the tree and exceUence of the ftuit,.
