ITIarsIialPs Seedling (Red Bettflower).—A 

 California .seedling, being a cross between the Yel- 

 low Bellflower and Red June. Said to be the finest 

 market apple in California, and comes in at a season

 brilliant red of the Red June, with its sprightly, acid 

 flavor, but the exact shape of a good-sfeed Yellow 

 Bellflower, although the tree is of more upright 

 growth, and a regular and heavy bearer. Owing to 

 the confusion in the name of "Red Bellflower" this 

 apple will henceforth be known as "Marshall's Seed- 

 ling." 2 yrs, ea, 50c; doz, $5.00. 1 yr, ea, 85c; doz,
