BYBERRY SEEDING. variety ha,
: not been much disseminated, and is compar
itively new. II originated in Byberry
Phila Co., Pa 1t is magnificent fruit
: very large, irregular in shape, color-datE
scarlet, sweet, and of good flavor, very pro
life, occasionally hollow in largest speci
mems. The plant is robust grower, hardy
= and not very fastidious in regard to location
or soil, rather soft to carry long distan ces
but one of the best family and amateur
berries. From what have seen of this
berry, | can highly recommend it.
BARNES MAMMOTH we did not fruit, al
though we had fine young plantation -
1t is reported to be very large and promis
ing.
CRIMSON Cone This fruit has been, and
is now cultivated extensively about New
York City, and is highly esteemed.-It is
a good grower, and hardy. Brilliant Grim.
son, highly perfumed, and productive. but
the berry is rather soft aud too small to
satisfy the enlarged tastes of moderns. =
1t has, however, few superiors as family
fruit, aud | would recommend it for that
purpose
DURANDs SEEDLING.-This variety is a
Seeding of Mr.. Duraut of New wark N.
IT, and as yet. not extensively dissemina
ted Those who have tested it praise it high
ly. 1t is large oblong berry, sometimes
q lttla Aaffanad hnt oranaraIlxy x,or,,
With us it did not prove very productive.
Not sufficiently tested to claim extensive
cultivation
DoWNERs PROLIFIC We have a variety
here which for reliability and profit stands
next to Wilson's Albany; It is a native
Seeding, aud originated with Mr. j. S.
Downer of Ky.
The fruit is medium to large-very reg
ular in sbape-Iight scarlet aud finely fla
vored. 1t is very early and hardy, not par
ticular as to soil and cultivation and is
abundantly prolific
The only objection to it ia, that it is not
quite large enough, and is rather soft for
distant market.
FILLMORE This is decidedly an anna.
teur Or family berry. 1t is of good size, has
beautiful hsvor-highy perfumed-and
fine color But it is not uniformly productive;
and is unpopular with the generality of
growers. Originated with Samuel Feast of
Baltimore Md.
FRENoH's SEEDEING This variety has
proved (with one excepton) excellent with
us Last season on our grounds at South
Bond, Ind, we picked some of the finest
fruit on the place from vines Of this variety
1t is large deep scarlet regular i'll shape,
sweet and of coed flavor. Regularly pro
ductive and early. One popularity in its
foliage is worthy notice. On the under side of
the leaf is whtish down, noticeable at quite
distance AS "a family berry rank 1t az
A No. But it is TOO soft for distant market.
1t is wild Seeding found growing in
meadow by Lewis French ESQ.,, near Moores
town N. Y.
GOLDEN QUEEN { rrollopes Victoria) we
regard this a fancy variety. No fruit more
beautiful, Large regularly conical, firm,
light orange color. Flavor unexceptonal
but like other foreign varieties, requires too
much nursing aud coaxing to be profita-
BILE market fruit but very fine for anna
tours.
GREEN PROLIFIC. 4 Newark Prolific this
is another CT Seth Boydens seedlings and
has mad more undeSer0ed praise than any
berry ever introduced to the American Hor-
ttc@ttUrtSt. 1t has some good traits how
ever. 1t is rampant grower and hne
looking plant Hardy and quite produc-
tive. But the berry is rather small with
the exception of now and then one and wry
facedly sour and flavorless Too soft for
market regard it as neither valuable for
the family garden, or market
HOOKER. Not reliable as to fruit, aud too
tender requiring careful protection.
Iowa ( Washington thus variety was at
one time very popular about Cincinnati. 1t
has but one Iture to recommend it, aud
that is productiveness. 1t is rather under
size add inferior i'll flavor. Not worth talking
about much. If Number of berries, TO Civ
On number Of plants was the criterion then
it would stand at the head of the list
IDA This is another over praised new
variety. The berry il rather under size,
regular, obtusely conical, aud very produc
tive. Dark scarlet when fully ripe Very
acid and can never become popular fruit
Originated with K. H. Concklin Penn
LADIES PINE.-This is the nearest to per-
lection in point of flavor of any variety
known; il it did not require 30 much care in
its culture and was it, what could be
called productive variety, it would rank
as the finest amateur and table fruit in the
entire collection Those who wish to re.
gale their palates with something near ex-
quisite had better cultivate it.
1t originated with MIR. Read of Canada
many years ago
LENNIGs WHITE -(White pine apple) in
this variety we have perhaps, everything
considered, the most perfect amateur and
desert berry known. 1t is large some
what tomato shaped or as professionals
would say obtusely conical nearly white,
with pink blush on one side. Flesh per-
fectly withdrawing and sweet. 1t
is vigorous grower, very hardy, but only
moderately productive. Last season our
spring set plants gave US quite crop in
September; worthy place in every garden
in the land. Originated with MIR. Lennig
Germantown Pa.
METoALF is new variety. 1t origi-
mated with Mr. Metcalf at Niles, Mich, and
with him has proved remarkably early and
prolific. At the east it has not succeeded
quite SO we'll MIR. Johnston of South Bend
has fruited it three years. 1t is the most
remarkable variety to increase | ever saw
A single plant often producing from to
| 800 in single season | watched this va
riety with much interest last season. 1t
threw vp its flower stems first of all and in
quantity perfectly enormous. While in bud
severe frost came which proved it tender.
When they opened perfect sheet of bloom
was presented Bat alas too many bios
SONS were black hearted and when the time
came for the fruit to show itself, but COM
paritively few good specimens could be
| formed. Could the plants be protected
when in bud, no variety | ever Jaw would
compare with it in productiveness. The
fruit is balloon shaped-Medium to large
fine flavor, but rather soft for market. 1t
deserves further trial and may yet prove to
be the most valuable gery early strawberry
yet introduced.
New JERSEY SCARLET. This has been
considerably praised as a superior early va
