63. Moyamensing, P. This is a variety of the Hudson, and 

 not of the Pine family, and we, therefore, drop the 

 " Pine " from its name. Fruit secondary size, conical, 

 crimson, juicy, not sweet, and with but little flavor, 

 strong fruit stems, ripens gradually, very productive ; 

 plant of vigorous growth, assimilates greatly to the 

 old Hudson in form, color, and general appearance.. 



54. Nicliolson's ijax, H, large, compressed at the sides like 

 many other English varieties, tolerably productive 

 for its class, it being of the same family as the Brit- 

 ish Queen. It is probable this will prove as worth- 

 less, for unproductiveness, as all other English Stami- 

 nates have hitherto done 



,55. Orange Prolific, P, large, obtiise cone, and some rounded, 

 bright orange scarlet, showy fruit, rather acid, not 

 high flavored, exceedingly productive, ripens about 

 a week after the early kinds 



56. Peabody's Perpetnal Hovey, P, this is none other than 

 the ordinary Hovey's Seedling, which, by being sub- 

 jected to continued irrigation in a southern climate, 

 has acquired the perpetual habit, and retains it whilst 

 under that treatment as other varieties have done. 

 By the same process here during the warm summer 

 period, the crops may be greatly extended, and the 

 Triumph, Twice-bearing-Scarlet, Superlative, McA- 

 voy's Superior, Primate, and several other varieties, 

 whose natural tendency is to produce a second crop, 

 are much better adapted to the purpose than the 

 Hovey. Mr. P. has professed that he had changed 

 the constitution of the plant, but he must surely 

 know this to be a mistaken notion 



51. 



PennsylvaDica, P, rather large, roundish, dark scarlet, 

 tolerable flavjor, productive. This has been unduly 

 extolled in Philadelphia, where they are deficient in 

 the most splendid varieties, and seemingly ignorant 

 of their existence 



58. *Perfomed Scarlet, P, rather large, rounded, light scar- 



let, highest flavor of all, productive. This and the 

 Le Baron may be considered the climax in flavor. . . 



59. *Primate, H, large, conical, deep scarlet, beautiful, firm, 



moderate flavor, the most productive of all Herma- 

 phrodites. A good market fruit, vigorous growth 

 with dark luxuriant foliage, and very hardy
