ANNUAL MEETING. 167 



Little's No. 14, originated by John Little, of Fish Crook, Ontario, is a seed- 

 ling from Monarch of the West, originating in 1880. Plant of moderate 

 vigor, a moderate bearer, pistillate. Fruit of medium size, roundish, very 

 dark crimson, firm, juicy, mild, rich. A very dark, rich colored berry; so far 

 hardly productive enough. 



Triple Crown comes to us without a history. Plant vigorous, sets an enor- 

 mous quantity of fruit, requiring a strong, rich soil, to perfect it. Staminate- 

 Fruit of medium size, roundish conical, truncate, dark dull crimson, firm, 

 very juicy, mild sub-acid, rich. Under high culture, will doubtless prove 

 profitable. 



Kinney's No. 10 is a Massachusetts seedling, vigorous, staminate, which 

 offers little prospect of value, from lack of productiveness. 



Glossy Cone, a New Jersey seedling of 1878, has little beyond the beauty of 

 its fruit to recommend it ; staminate; unproductive. 



Louella, of (to us) unknown origin, is vigorous, a heavy bearer; staminate. 

 Fruit large to very large, low conical, rounded, dark crimson or scarlet, mod- 

 erately firm, juicy, sub-acid, sprightly, pleasant. More than usually promising 

 for market. 



Pioneer is another seedling, by Durand, of New Jersey. Plant vigorous, 

 but burns badly; a heavy bearer; staminate. Fruit above medium size, 

 globular, sometimes slightly necked, dull reddish scarlet, moderately firm, 

 juiey, sub-acid. It may prove valuable for a near market. 



Memphis Late, to us of unknown origin, is not vigorous, bears moderately, 

 pistillate. Fruit of less than medium size, nearly conical, dark crimson, firm, 

 very juicy, mild, rich sub-acid. An excellent dessert fruit. 



Endicntt is hardy, vigorous, and productive; staminate. Fruit large, trun- 

 cate conical, with a slight neck, dull glossy scarlet, moderately firm and juicy, 

 mild sub-acid. May prove profitable for market. 



Garden, a seedling originated at Babylon, New York, from Monarch of the 

 West, is moderately productive ; staminate. Fruit medium, roundish, crimson, 

 soft, very juicy, sub-acid. Of little apparent value. 



Barnes' Mammoth is hardy, moderately vigorous, and productive ; staminate. 

 Fruit medium to lai-ge, roundish ovate, scarlet to dark crimson, firm, juicy, 

 sub -acid. A market fruit if sufficiently productive. 



Arnold's Pride. About 1870 that successful experimenter, Chas. Arnold, of 

 Paris, Ontario, crossed or hybridized the Wilson with pollen of a then noted 

 foreign strawberry. Doctor Nicaise. From the seeds of the resultant plant, he 

 again raised a crop of plants, a few years later, one of which is that under 

 consideration. The plant is exceedingly vigorous, and bears the sun perfectly. 

 It is staminate, and produces enormous crops of fruit, which is of very large 

 size, irregularly conical, inclining to cockscomb, dull scarlet to crimson, firm, 

 moderately juicy, very mild sub-acid, pleasant. From its first full fruiting 

 the past season, we regard it as the most promising market berry we have yet 

 seen. 



New Continental is only moderately vigorous and productive; pistillate. 

 Fruit large, rounded conical, very dark crimson, very firm, juice not abun- 

 dant, high sub-acid in flavor. A rich, j)cculiar looking fruit, but needs 

 further trial to determine its value. 



Crispin is perfectly hardy, of medium vigor, with decided indications of 

 Alpine parentage; staminate. Fruit of medium size, conical or ovate, 

 pointed, dark scarlet or crimson, soft, juicy, sub-acid. More curious than 

 valuable.
