Petite .TIars:uerite. (Standard and Dwarf.) SI. 00 each. See description 

 in Catalogue. 



Petite Marguerite is one of Mr. Andre Leroy's seedlings, and it was held in such 

 high esteem by that celebrated French pomologist that he named it after the young- 

 est of his grand-daughters. In the year 1868 it was first offered in France, and in 

 this country it has been on trial several years, but not until recently have its merits 

 been recognized, and its propagation and dissemination seriously undertaken. 

 This shows how much time is required to determine the value and to raise a stock 

 of a new fruit. It is of medium size, just large enough to be acceptable as a dessert 

 fruit; skin green, covered with gray and brown dots, and sometimes bronzed on the 

 side exposed to the sun; flesh greenish white, fine, melting, juicy, acidulous, with a 

 pleasant perfume. Ripening, as it does, about ten days before the Bartlett, it pos- 

 sesses a particular value as an early pear. As a fruit of the very first quality, it can 

 be highly recommended to connoisseurs for the table, but it is not large and show^y 

 enough for market. Mr. Leroy, in his Dictionnaire de Pomologie, describes it as the 

 best pear ripening in August. We believe this statement to be as true in America, 

 as it is in France.

OKAPES. Eady ^Yashhig-tOll, One of Mr. Ricketts' celebrated seed- 

 lings, described by Mr. Downing as follow^s: "Vine ver\- vigorous, hardy and 

 productive; short jointed; leaves large, occasionally lobed, thick; bunch very 

 large, compact, generally double shouldered; berry medium to large, round, 

 color deep yellow, with a tinge of delicate pink where exposed to the sun, and 

 covered with a thin w^hite bloom; flesh soft, tender, juicy, sw-eet and very good; 

 it ripens about with the Concord. This showy and beautiful grape is a cross 

 between the Concord and Allen's Hybrid, and is a promising grape for the 

 market and the amateur." 3.1r. Ricketts says: "The first vine has fruited the 

 past five seasons, and the fruit has been exhibited at State and County Fairs, 

 where it has received the highest premiums and commendations from those in- 

 terested in grape culture, nurservmen and others." Fine one vear old plants,
