 cal ; bright scarlet ; flesh pink, firm ; poor in quality.

 the West than at the East. Originated with Samuel 

 Miller, Bluffton, Mo.

 plants rather feeble, aud only moderately productive. 

 Isot fully tested. Originated with J. B. Moore, Concord, 

 Mass. 



Centennial Favorite. — One of Mr. Durand's seedlings, 

 of large size, irregular shape, but scarcely possessing 

 sufficient merit to entitle it to a prominent position 

 among better and more prolific sorts. 



Champion. (JTindsor Chief.) — Large, round; bright 

 crimson ; flesh rather soft ; inferior in quality, but the 

 plants are so vigorous and productive that this is con- 

 sidered a very profitable market variety ; pistillate.

Charles Downing. — Medium to large, round, obtuse- 

 conical ; very regular in form ; bright scarlet, becoming 

 darker when fully ripe ; flesh moderately firm, pink, 

 juicy, with a rich, sprightly sub-acid flavor. One of the 

 very best varieties in cultivation. The plants are vigor- 

 ous, wonderfully productive, and succeed admirably on 

 light soils, and bear profusely even in thick matted beds. 

 Originated with the late J. S. Downer, of Fairview, Ky., 

 and named in honor of the Veteran Pomologist of JSTew- 

 burgh, X. Y.
