NEW FRUITS OF EECENT INTRODUCTION.

first-rate. A really first-class early Peach is still a thing of the 
future. 
Dymond and Goshaiuk, though not actually new, are too 
little known. They are fine additions to the mid-season class, 
and are both of really good constitutions. 
Plums. 
Once more we have gratefully to acknowledge our indebted- 
ness to Messrs. Eivers, of Sawbridgeworth. 
Stint is a decided gain amongst early dessert varieties. 
Early Transparent Gage, Late Transparent, F.C.C., and 
Late Golde7i Transparent, F.C.C., are welcome additions to the 
Sawbridgeworth race of Gages. They all possess the best and 
richest flavour, and extend the season at both extremities. 
Beine Claude du Comte Althan is one of the red-skinned 
Gages of exquisite flavour, and is a good bearer and grower. 
Bivers' Monarch. — A most welcome addition to late Plums ; 
large and black, ripening at the end of September. It cooks 
magnificently, and at that late season is not to be despised on 
the dessert table. The tree is a good grower and a profuse 
bearer. F.C.C. 
Damsons. 
Bradley's King— This is by no means new, but it is far too 
little known. It takes the first place amongst Damsons for rich 
flavour, and when the trees have gained a little age it bears well 
every year. It is unequalled for private gardens. 
Pears. 
Beacon. — A profuse bearer on the Quince, but a slow grower. 
It also succeeds admirably on the Pear stock. The fruit is sweet 
and pleasant, but must be gathered before it is fully ripe. August 
and September. 
Beurr6 Duhuisson, — A remarkably fine Pear of curiously long 
shape ; juicy and delicious in flavour. It bears well, but grows 
slowly. December and January. F.C.C. 
Beurrc Fouqueray. — A fine green Pear, introduced by Messrs. 
Veitcli ; which will probably take the place of Beurre Bachelier* 
It is a free bearer and hardy. October. F.C.C. 
Beurre Julie. — A small but a first-class Pear, which deserves 
to be much better known. It is a profuse bearer. October and 
November,
