a list of no less than 490 sorts of apples. Mr. Downing claims 
the right to talk about fruits and trees from having been born in 
‘ one of the largest gardens, and upon the banks of one of the no¬ 
blest rivers in Americaeverybody will concede the right since 
be has shown himself so competent to the task.”— Broadway

mation.”— U. S. Gazette.
