New Varieties of Small Fruits. 243 



" Niagara," white, most productive of all, "one vine four 

 years old gave 140 clusters, from eight to sixteen ounces 

 each," in good grape regions it will pay for market, although 

 not of high quality. Its only fault is in some localities its 

 inclination to mildew, vines 75 cents to $1.00 each. These 

 five white varieties will suffice and I will name but one 

 red which is very promising. 



"Woodruff Red," large, handsome, good, healthy and 

 hardy, 81.00 each, a seedling of Concord" and I have.faith in 

 Concord blood, without the health of the Concord leaf, we 

 plant to our sorrow. 



STRAWBERRIES. 



I will not go through the list of one thousand kinds now 

 cultivated, but will only touch the following : 



"May King" indicates a profitable, big productive 

 healthy mate to Crescent, more firm and larger. . 



" Parry," " large, good, healthy, beautiful and productive " 

 and an excellent mate for " Jewell (R)," which is claimed is 

 " as large as Sharpley, and productive as Crescent, having 

 given one quart to a plant, set in tho fall, very robust and 

 healthy, not inclined to run." 



" Belmont," " of highest quality, the finest berry in the 

 Boston market, firm, vigorous and productive," $1.00 per 

 dozen. 



" Garretson (P)," claimed to be " better every way than 

 champion " (Windsor Chief or Wonderful). 



" Lida (P)," " seedling of crimson cluster introduced at 

 $1.00 each by Parry." The only fault I find with it, it is 

 one of Durand's seedlings, and but few of them have ever 

 obtained success — " this is claimed twice the size and as 

 productive as Crescent with added firmness;" $2.00 per doz. 



" Gaudy's Prize," latest of all, firm, large as Sharpless, 

 vigorous and productive; $2.00 per doz. 



" Cohanzick," "seedling of Triumph de Gand and promises 

 to beat everything." 



" Monmouth," " 50 per cent, every way better than Cres- 

 cent in size, productiveness, earliness, firmness, with same 

 color of fruit and health foliage;" $2.50 per doz.
