CHERRIES.
]. May Duke, 5. Germantown.
2. Early Richmond, 8. Belle AaguihgGer
3. Black TaetaTiaE. :. Downtons
Black Eagle, s. Bentish Or Pie
We restore the Keutish or Pie Cherry to
cur list. It ripens week or ten days after
the Early Richmond, and always, except il
the most uufavorabIe seasons, gives large
crop Of sound fruit We omit the Governor
Wood because It does not generally mature
It's fruit. A rain followed by hot sun when
the cherries are nearly ripe, viii sometimes
blast the whole crop. It's quality however Is
superior 10 all others The ssGermautown' -
is the largest cherry grown, is handsome in
appearance, an abundant bearer Of sound
fruit, and very good in quality.
RAspBERRIEE.
i. Brinekls's Orange, 3. Catsviasa,
.. Hornet. J. Philadelphia.
We cultivate all these varieties Of the rasp-
berry. in addition to the Hudson River Ant
werp and the old Purple. We omit the Hud-
son River from our list. aud substitute the
Philadelphia The Hudson River is an excel
lent berry, rather better IN quality than the
Hornet, which it resembles. though not so
large, but it is not hardy or a good grower,
and unless care is taken will ''run out IN a
few years. The Catawissa is the two crop
variety, which every one ought to cultivate
for the autumn crop only, by cutting all the
canes clean off to the groand in November
and covering the stools with manure.
Strawberries,
/. Russsll's Prolific, 8. Hovey's Seeding,
?. Triumphe de grand 4. Albany Seeding.
At present we are not prepared to change
our strawberry list There are many new can
didates for public favor, but for family use
and market combined We know Of none to be
preferred to the foregoing. In retaining the
Albany Seeding, it is done expressly for mar
keting purposes. Those who have room for
only one or two kinds for private use, we rec.
emmend Hovey's Seeding (which is pistil-
late) and the Triomphe or RusseIl's Prolific,
lstaminatesl to be planted in alternate beds
Of three feet in width, allowing eighteen inch
es space between them. With proper cult
gation crop is next to q certainty.
CURRASTs.
!. Black Naples, 2 Red Dutch.
We consider those the two best currants
We have the Cherry Currant, which Is larger
than the Red Dutch, but it is too acid while
the White Grape, which is of good size and
favor, and transparent ia appearance. is a
poor grower, Of sprawling habit, and bears
mostly near the ground, which dirties the
fruit and extracts the favor
CoosBERRIEs.
/. Houghton, 2. Downing.
These are the two best and most profitable
cultivated. All the huge imported kinds are
thickskiHnedi tough, and sure to mildew.
BLAcKBEBRIEs.
i Ne" Eochellas 2. Dorchester
The New Rochelle blackberry produces
better crop perhaps than the Dorchester. and
the later ripened berries retain their favor
more entirely bat the first ripening of ne
Dorchester is sweeter and more delicious Than
the other. A new variety called the ..Kitta.
tlnny, from the Kittatinny mountain near
the Delaware Water Gap, is well spoken Il
bat we reserve our opinion for the present
It is better that those Who intend "a e,,I,;.
Yate fruit and have to make purchases sbouI5
take this list With them to the nursery an5
