Ripens here first of June, or a little after.

4. Striped June

Size - medium, not quite so large as Red June; form - roundish, sometimes a little conical; skin - thin, ground greenish yellow, very much striped with red, frequently russet about the stem; stem - short, medium thickness; cavity - small; calyx - medium size, in a shallow basin; flesh - white, more juicy and acid than the foregoing, better for kitchen; not rich, but pleasant. Ripens with the Red June, but is easily distinguished by its' duller red color , and also by being distinctly striped, while the Red June is a complete blaze of crimson. Not so good for dessert, but a good bearer, and a native. Ripens first or June.

Early May Apple.

Red June.

5. Sinclair's Yellow

This name we give an apple received from Sinclair's nursery, at Baltimore, and which proves one of the best. Fruit - small to medium, flat or roundish; skin - smooth, of fine orange color, . darkened in the sun; flesh - pale yellow, with a rich sub-acid flavor. A good bearer, and excellent for both the table and kitchen. Indispensable. Ripe June 15th.

6. Maiden's Blush

(See "Fruits and Fruit-Trees of America." Perhaps our best foreign variety. A fine nardy tree, bears abundantly, excellent for drying and culinary uses, and good for dessert. Itipens gradually from the first of July, and lasts into August.

7. Horse Apple

This name is given to a class of apples, the different sorts of which, resembling each other in appearance and flavor, but which differ a good deal in quality-All are excellent culinary fruits, lasting a long time, and the best of them are good dessert apples. This apple is propagated with considerable certainty from seed, which has probably caused the different varieties of the same apple. Size - medium to large, roundish, narrowing to the eye, sometimes conical, and somewhat irregular: skin - thick greenish yellow in the shade, but a rich dark orange, or blush towards the sun - often marked with a few russet lines or flecks about the stem; stem - short, rather large, sunk in a shallow cavity - calyx in a narrow basin; core - large, hollow; seeds - few; flesh - yellow, firm, coarse grained, with a rich acid flavor. Well ripened, it is a good table apple, always excellent for cooking. Ripens the last of July, but like your Holland Pippin, fit for cooking a long while before. Continues in use a long time. One of the most productive, valuable, and hardy trees we have, but should be propagated only from the best varieties.

One of them in this section, is called the Oldfield Apple.

8. Male Carle

(See Downing.) This succeeds the Maiden's Blush and Horse Apple, and proves a good and hardy variety. Tree very productive, and almost as' well adapted to the climate as the Horse Apple itself. Fruit of excellent quality, ripens the last of August and into September.

9. Carthouse Or Gilpin

(See Downing.) Ripens a little later than the foregoing, and a fine fruit for this climate, quality good, tree quite a good bearer, lasts until the middle Of September, and sometimes later with care.

Apples that are of as good quality and immediately succeed the Gilpin are very desirable. The latter will keep as long as any northern variety we have tried. From the middle of September until.November, I do not know of any good and productive table apples. Some tolerable undescribed and unnamed native fruits, come into the market that will do for the kitchen, but no good table fruits. As most other fruits are gone; what few peaches ripen so late not being of the best quality, Grapes (Scuppernong) not lasting much after the first of October, when pears and figs are by no means plenty, a few varieties of good apples would he very acceptable. The next good apple begins to ripen about the first of November, vis:

Striped June.

10. Buff Or Granny Buff

Fruit-of the largest sise, irregular roundish, flattened and slightly angular in form. Skin - thick, ground color yellow, but striped and overspread with red, very dark next the sun, marked with a few greenish russet spots. Stem three-quarters of an inch long in a medium cavity. Calyx in a large irregular basin. Flesh - yellowish, and when well ripened tender and excellent, but sometimes quite- the reverse; lacks richness and acidity; season November to March; indispensable.

11. Virginia Greenirig

Already described in proceedings of Congress of Fruit Growers at New-York. A good fruit, keeps all winter; indispensable; a better keeper than the Buff.

12. Waddel's Hall

An oblong fruit of medium size, very fragrant - striped with red; of fair quality, bears young, and decidedly the latest keeping apple we have.

13. Green Mountain Pippin

A fine early winter apple of excellent quality, large size, rodndish, green, and very juicy; comes into use with the Buff and a better fruit.

The above list 1 think will be found reliable. There are others which 1 have hopes will be worthy of adding to the list, such as Limberting, Jackson, Father Abram, Rawle's Jennett, Gravenstein, Meigs, (a celebrated long keeper,) Pry or's Bed; but I have not yet seen the fruits T purchased in a market wagon from North Carolina in the month of November, two years since, some fine Bhode Island Greenings, and I have strong hopes thai this too may be added to the list.

I have seen fruit here of American Summer Pearmain, Sweet Boagh, Alexander, Baldwin, Danvers "Winter Sweet, Newtown Pippin, Boston Russett, Spitzenberg, and many others; but they are in some one or more particulars, so much inferior to those described, some of them rotting before they ripen, others unproductive - that at present I do not think any of them deserve to be added to the list. The early apples from the north do far the best.

You will observe that there is not a single sweet apple in the list. I am trying the Ladies Sweeting, but I do not know of a single sweet apple of the many brought in, that has hitherto proved at all satisfactory. I am told that there is a good native autumn variety, but have not met with it.

Should you desire, I shall be happy to give you a few notes on our other fruits, particularly the pear, which is here raised, I think, with more ease than the apple. Tours very respectfully, William N. Whits.
