NEW PRUITS. 
Apple, Jacobs’’ Strawberry. —An excellent early 
Apple, of large size for an early fruit, and of very 
handsome appearance from the high colour of the 
striping. Fruit large (about 10 inches in circum¬ 
ference), oblate, sometimes slightly conical, uneven 
at the base, distinctly angular near the crown. Fye 
closed, sunk in a small deep strongly-ribbed basin. 
Stalk short stout, sunk in a broadish and tolerably 
even cavity. Skin pale straw yellow marked from 
the base upwards with numerous moderately stout 
streaks of crimson, which are more crowded on the 
sunny side, the upper part or crown not streaked; 
sometimes the whole of the exposed surface, crown 
and all, bathed in bright crimson. Fle.sh tender 
yellowish-white with a highly perfumed scent and 
flavour, suggestive of over-ripe strawberries, and 
becoming slightly mealy, but not dry, by the middle 
of September, when tasted by us. We are indebted 
to Mr. G. Bunyard, of Maidstone, for samples. 
Pear, Grand Soleil (Bull. d'Arb., 1884, 193 with 
tab.)—This is a Belgian variety raised by Ma,jor 
Esperen, and is described as being of the first quality. 
Fruit rather large, somewhat variable in shape, but 
usually obovate. Skin rough, bright green passing 
at maturity to golden yellow, streaked spotted and 
washed with red-brown, and sometimes slightly 
coloured on the side next the sun. Stalk large.
