Murphy Apple. The fruit of this variety is of superlative beauty, of good 
size, " better than the Baldwin," ripens in December and January, but can 
be kept till April. The tree bears regularly every year, and an experienced 
and most careful judge says of it that he " does not know an out about it," 
and he regards it as exceedingly valuable. I shall reserve fuller descriptions 
and certificates until next season, but now offer a limited number of two-year 
grafts at 50 cents each. 
PEARS. 
Price. Fine standard trees, 3 years from bud, 75 cents each, §5 per 10. Se- 
lected, $1 each. Bearing trees, $1.50 to $3 each. Dwarfs of Anjou, 
Duchesse, and Louise Bonne, 50 cents; extra size, at 75 cents and $t; 
smaller sizes, $\^ to SS30 per hundred except as noted. 
A much longer list of such as we can supply might be named, but it is unwise 
to multiply varieties. Following are the leading kinds. 
FOR SUMMER. 
Clapp. Large, pyriform, yellowish-green, flesh white, very juicy, rich, vinous, 
excellent; must be picked early, about August 15, and ripened in drawers. 
Thus treated it is the best early pear.

the earliest good kind.
