We have selected from them the following varieties: Pride of America, Matchless and Silver Skin, which we are confident will prove exceedingly valuable for general cultivation. Several other promising varieties are on trial, from which we expect favorable reports the coming season. NEW VAlilETIES FOR 1880. PRIDE OF AMERICA. Tliis superb variety was raised several years since by Mr. E. S. Brownell, a celebrated hybridizer in Northern Vermont, to whom we are already indebted for a number of well-known and valuable varieties. It was raised from a seed-ball of the Eureka, fertilized with the pollen of the "White Peach Blow, and combines the wonderful productiveness and excellent keeping qualities of the former with all the well-known qualities of the latter. It has been carefully tested by several of our most experienced growers in various parts of the country for the past four years, all of whom have given it their unqualified approval. In app
