FLABBURY BEAM, 
ERE we have another of those locally-known 
productions, heard of only in the vicinity of their 
origin, although deserving of cultivation by every 
one who wishes to possess a fruit of good and 
'I distinct character. That there is jileasure de- 
rivable from the possession of such among hardy fmits as are 
excellent and profitable, none can deny ; but we are not sure 
that the same zeal and caution is exerted in their attainment, 
as we find practised in the selection of other objects when first- 
rate quality is desired. He who has added to his orchard has, 
too generally, contented himself with the common-place produc- 
tions of his immediate vicinity ; knowledge of others, indeed.
