THE following list of Fruits, having been formed with particular
attention and care, is recommended for a moderate collection; and,
except a very few of the Apricots and Nectarines, and those very
few of the Cherries, &c. which are marked thus f, every one of
them have been proved in our country and climate, and are the
selections from the very extensive lists of importations and of native
fruit. But as a great number of the new fruits of the highest char-
acter, and those so lately received, have never as yet borne fruit in
our country, and are therefore excluded, it will be obvious that this
list will from time to time require a revision. I might here refer in
particular to those new and most superior kinds sent to Mr Manning
and myself, in the springs of 1834 and 1835, by Mr Thompson,
chiefly Flemish, and so lately proved by him at Chiswick in the Gar-
den of the London Hort. Soc., and especially to the noble donation
twice sent us during these same years from Professor Van Mons.
These alone constitute a collection of about two hundred kinds, all
now on trial with us.
The numerical figures refer to the page where each fruit will be
found particularly described.

The Red Mulberry is an excellent fruit, and more hardy than the English Black. I have not yet seen the fruit of the MORUS MULTICAULIS, but it is said to be fine.
EUROPEAN VARIETIES.- The White Chasselas, 261, and Golden Chasselas, 262, are the best for northern climates. The Muscats do well with us, but only in warmer expositions; the White Muscat, or Frontignac, 264; also the Black Hamburg, 265; Black Cape, 265; Constantia, 266; Black Prince, 275; the Pitmaston's White Cluster, 269, is highly spoken of. The Muscats of Alexandria, 264; require still more heat, and are fine. The Cadiz Grape is also fine, and many others for warm climates.
AMERICAN GRAPES. The Isabella, 273, and the Catawba, 272, are the finest for the North; add to these the Bland, 272, for the Middle States; and for the South, add to all, the Scuppernong, 274.
Black English, 295; †Black Naples, 295; Large Red Dutch, 295 ; and Large White Dutch, or Spanish Imperial, 295.
Red Antwerp, 300; White Antwerp, 301; Barnet, 301.

In the climate of Boston, the Pine Apple, or Pine: the Mulberry, 305; the Methven Scarlet, 308; the White Wood, 304; and Red Wood, 305, are still much cultivated. Keen's Seedling has been enough spoken of it is famous in other climes.
