HONOR BRIGHT. 



A new and distinct variety, and undoubtedly the heaviest j-ielding, longest keep- 

 ing and best shipping sort in cultivation. In solidity it is unrivalled, being so firm as 

 to permit of shipping in barrels, the same as apples. The changes in color the fruit 

 undergoes in development are also distinct — from light green it changes to a waxy 

 white, then to lemon, followed by a beautiful red. When the fruit is picked in the 

 early stage and stored in a cool place it is easily kept from two to four weeks. Price,
