CATALOGUE OF FRUITS. 33 
Conkling—A seedling originated in the town of Parma, N. Y., in the garden of 
Rev. Mr. Sawyer; fruited for the first time in 1873, as we have been informed 
by E. M. Conkling, of Parma Corners, who first brought it to our notice and 
sent us fruit September 7th, 1877. The following description was made from 
specimens received August 24th, 1878. The original tree having died and no 
fruit having yet been produced on our young trees, we are unable to give any 
more particulars. 
Size—Large, good specimens measuring 914 and 91¢ inches in circumference, and 
weighing 616 and 634 ounces. 
Form—Round, with a slight suture on one side; apex depressed. 
Color—Beautiful golden yellow, marbled with crimson; very handsome. 
Flesh—Pale yellow, very juicy, sweet, vinous and very good; equal to any yellow 
peach we know otf. 
Season—Succeeds Crawford’s Early; price 40 cents each. 
Early Canada—A seedling raised by Abraham High, Jordan, Ont. Ripens with 
Alexander. Is not so large, but better flavored and higher colored. 40 cents 
each. 
Briggs’ Red May, Downing, Gov. Garland, Harper’s Early, Hon- 
eywell, Saunders and Wilder ripen nearly at the same time with Alex- 
ander and Amsden, and so far as we can see, do not surpass them in any 
particular. Further trial, however, will have to be given them before coming 
to any definite conclusion as to their value. 
Price of trees of the above sorts, 25 cents each, except Gov. Garland, 40 cents 
each. 
Mrs. Brett, 40 cents each. 
Bower’s Early, £0 cents each.
