Early Butter of Cincinnati.
This is a variety which our Cincin-
nati poraologists seem unable to recog-
nize with any known description. We
have been unable to examine the fruit
in perfection, but some small specimens
received, from which our drawing was
made, induced a guess at Dearborn Seed-
ling. The original tree at Cincinnati is
said to have been probably brought from
New -Jersey. It is of upright growth,
short-jointed, yellowish brown wood,
forming a handsome symmetrical head.
Fruit small, oblong ovate, narrowing
most to the stem, hght greenish yellow,
with dark green specks, rarely a bronzed
red in sun ; calyx, prominent ; seg-
ments, bold, reflexed ; core, compact;

not more than second quality. It is profitable as a standard orchard va-
riety, but requires rich deep soil, or its immense crops exhaust too rap-
idly, causin'g the fruit to be quite small and insipid. Fruit, below medium,
