In my selection of Applet for my family's use, I have found the following kinds not only very choice bat forming a succession of ripe ones. Commencing with the Hawley, the very Prince of Fall Apples, and one combining all the good qualities for dessert as well as for cooking, I have found the Famer use an excellent successor, then the Scolloped Cornish or Red Gilliflower, which in all respects is a most superior Apple, in eating from November to January; next the Jonathan, a most beautiful medium sized, high colored, red fruit, fresh, spicy and juicy ; after that the Green Sweeting, ripening in January, and continuing good for two months; to be followed by the Red Canada, which is a most delicious Apple, very mild sub-acid, and juicy, agreeable in every respect, lasting till my Northern Spys begin to ripen, say the first of March, which continues good as long as it is possible to keep one's hands off them. Could I have inter-spersed with the Rambo, a place would have been found in my cellar for a barrel of them. It is an uncertain fruit, the tree never bearing oftener than every other year.

It is so choice that it is not wonderful that it takes two seasons for production.

For cooking, the Twenty-ounce can not be excelled while it lasts. Then comes the Rhode Island Greening, a true and abiding Apple, which most all Americans have known as a choice dessert Apple as well as a most profitable one for pies and sauce. For a sweet Apple in its season (early fall) I much admire the Bailey Sweeting; it is a great favorite with us. I wish producers would be sure to raise all the good varieties, for you have to look to different orchards for a selection of twelve varieties of choice fruit. Some are better grown than others, and I would like to have mine from such persons as take the best care of his trees to ensure the best fruit J. H. Watts. - Rochester, N. Y.

With this note we received from Mr. Watts some very beautiful specimens of Jonathan and Red or Scolloped Gilliflower - fine varieties of Apples, not extensively grown. The Jonathan is a fruit of the very first quality, having the aromatic flavor of the Spitzenburg, and greater tenderness, but the tree is a crooked, irregular grower when young.
