The American journal of horticulture and florist's companion . -cultivated Siberians. Prominent among the earlyimprovements of this group of apples are the Large Red and Large , tlie Montreal Beauty, the Transcendent (largest of all),and its rival in size and beauty, the Hislop. Among those of more recentorigin, I propose to introduce some of those selected from a large number Hardy Apples. — Siberians. 205 of seedlings grown by A. R. Whitney at Franklin Grove, 111., and the• Winter Crabs, introduced to the public by Charles Andrews of Marengo,in the northern part of that State, some of which were exhibited in goodcondition at the Freeport meeting in February, 1868. These last show that we may now hope for other modifications in thisgroup, and that we may look for increased size, melioration of quality,adapting them for table-use, and, above all, the great desideratum of anextended period of ripening, so that the fruits may be kept sound all win-ter like other apples. Hitherto these Siberians have been cultivated solely.
