red on a yello-w ground, and covered with a light bloom; flesh 

 white and juicy, with a pleasant, sprightly acid flavor; quality 

 "good." In use the last of July to middle of August. The very 

 attractive appearance of the fruit would no douht give it a ready 

 sale in market, and those favorably situated for disposing of sum- 

 mer fruit might plant a limited quantity for market purposes with 

 profit. 



Twenty OviscE.~Twenty Ounce Apple.— Cayuga Bed Streak. 

 This is a very popular variety in market on account of its large 

 size, handsome appearance, and cooking qualities; and no doubt 

 in suitable soil and climate it is a profitable variety, in moderate 

 quantity, to the orchardist. The tree is tolerably hardy, not equal- 

 ing the Eed Astrachan in this respect, but more hardy than 

 the Ehode Island Greening. It is a moderately vigorous, erect 

 grower, and forms a neat, compact head, and bears good crops. 

 The fruit is large, always fair and showy, being handsomely mar- 

 bled and splashed with red on a yellow or greenish-yeUow ground; 

 flesh is yeUovnsh, coarse-grained, of a sprightly sub-acid flavor; 

 quality "good." May be used ia October, and wUl keep through 

 January. 



Wageneb. — Under proper cultivation this will prove to be a 

 very valuable apple. It has not been sufficiently tried in the 

 various parts of our Dominion to admit of any positive expres- 

 sion of its hardihood, further than that it is known to succeed 

 weU in some parts of the Province of Quebec. From the reports 

 that have come to us from various sections, we believe that it 

 will prove to be a very valuable variety over a large part of the 

 country, but not qidte as hardy as Eed Astrachan or the Tal- 

 man's Sweet. The tree is thrifty, upright habit, forming a toler- 

 ably rounded head, that requires considerable thinning out in 

 order to obtain good-sized fruit. It bears young, abundantly, 

 and every year. 



The fruit is fuU medium size, nearly covered with crimson; 

 flesh yellowish, fine grained, very tender, juicy, with a slightly 

 vinous flavor; quality "very good." Eipens in December, and 

 wUl keep untU February.
