LIST OF FRUITS, 



CONSIDERED VALUABLE, BUT OBIITTED IN THE FIRST EDITIONS. 



-A.I'I'LE S. 



Cheese. — An apple under this name (local probably), 

 from Col. Lewis Sanders, of Grass Hills, Ky., of medium 

 size — color, mingled red, green and yellow — was sent in 

 to the Cincinnati Horticultural Society ; which from its 

 tender, rich and pleasantly sub-acid, juicy character, was 

 pronounced by the Committee, well up to, if not bej-ond 

 second rate ; form, roundish, rather inclining to conical. 

 The writer considers this a delicious fruit, and well 

 worthy of propagation. Trees vigorous, healthy, and 

 productive. 



Fulton. Color, light yellow, sprinkled with green or 

 grey dots, having a blush on the sunny side. Flesh, 

 yellowish, juicy, tender, melting, with a very rich, mild, 

 sub-acid flavor; form, oblate, unsymmetrical-; size, 2; 

 use, table ; quality, 1 ; season, November to March. 



Eemarks. — This is a new Western Fruit, from the 

 Nursery of A. J. Downing, Canton, Fulton county. 111., 

 and is esteemed nearly as high as the Newtown Pippin — 

 cither yellow or green — when they succeed to perfection 

 (which in the West, they often do not). The tree is vig- 

 orous, very hardy, of regular form, and an annual and 

 prolific bearer. This apple, for Western and Northern 

 Illinois, is what the Newtown Pippin is for New York.
