CALHOUN. We have given this 

 varii'ty a very thorough distri- 

 bution, and ■wherever heard 

 from it gave the highest satis- 

 faction. The outside color is a 

 creamy brown ; the inside flesh 

 is a deep salmon yellow; the 

 flesh is wonderfully thick and 

 fine-grained, and the seed cavity 

 very small. It cooks very yel- 

 low and makes pies of a high, 

 rich color and of the finest 

 qualitv. (-See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c.
