It would be next to impossible if among the thousands of seedling plants that annually appear, some one or another did not appear like unto some former one. Many of us older fellows cannot see a particle of difference between some of the new Raspberry, Strawberry, and other fruits of the day, and those of a half century back, which were born and have died long ago. Mr. Hovey is quite fruitful in these recollections. He has shown how great is the resemblance of the Manchester Strawberry to the old Hovey; the Keiffer Pear to the Shah-Lea, and he now points to the resemblance of the Lawson or Comet Pear to the French Bellissima d'Ete.
