CHARLES DOWNING. 
This new Seedling was raised hy J. S. Downer, of Ken¬ 
tucky. and is justly entitled to bear the name of this first 
Pomologist of America. It is a Seedling of Downer’s Prolific. 
The plant is more vigorous and productive than its parent; 
fruit enorinously large, solid, firm enough for market, scarlet, 
and of the finest flavor. The great vigor of this plant ena¬ 
bles it to mature all its fruit to a large size. The leaves are 
very large, and stand a foot high ; flowers perfect. A bed of 
this variety set out the first ot Oct. last, in my garden, was 
picked over on the ISth of June, hyJolin C. Thompson, o£ 
Staten Island, N. Y.; of a fair average of the berries selected, 
28 weighed one pound. iMr. Downer informs me that several 
of his neighbors have grown them from plants one year old, 
weigliing over one ounce each. iMr. Greeley having ofl'ered a 
prize of"$50.00 for a better berry In every respect than the 
Wilson, this berry has been entered for the prize, and sub¬ 
mitted to the Committee. Mr Greeley requires it to bo 
tested hy two years trial, consequently the award cannot ho 
made tins season. We understand, however, that the Com¬ 
mittee consider it far in advance of any other seedling. 
Charles Downing, one of the Committee, says: 
Newburgh, July 5th, 1867. 
“ Downer’s new Seedling is certainly a very promising sort, 
and from what I have seen this season, think It will prove 
an acquisition, and for vigor, productiveness, size and qual¬ 
ity, combined, think it superior to any new sort. The name- 
ing it Charles Downing prevents me from saying much tibout 
it.”—CnAS. Downing. We propose sending out plants after 
tlie 15th Sept,, in rotation, as ordered, at the following rates: 
3 plants, $2.00; 6 plants, $3; 12 plants, $5; 100, $25; 500, $85; 
1,000 plants, $150. Twenty per cent, deducted for cash
