298 THE SMALL FRUITS OF NEW YORK 



Bunyard, in the reference given, is of the opinion that Raby Castle and Houghton Castle 

 or Victoria are distinct, the writers believe that they are identical. In 1852 the American 

 Pomological Society placed this variety in its list of recommended fruits under the name 

 May's Victoria, but later shortened the name to Victoria. 



Plants very large, very vigorous, upright, dense, productive to very productive, sus- 

 ceptible to anthracnose but resistant to most other diseases; young shoots very numerous, 

 grayish brown; leaf-buds large, rather long, pointed, plump, very heavily pubescent, bluish 

 gray, free; leaves slow in dropping in the fall, medium to large, subcordate to tnmcate at 

 the base, with very obtuse lobes, medium in thickness, pale green, dull, rugose, glabrous, 

 with crenate margins; petiole medium in length and thickness, green, pubescent. Flowers 

 midseason, in rather dense, drooping racemes; calyx-tube greenish, broadly campanulate, 

 glabrous; calyx-lobes very obtuse, widely separated, glabrous, striped and streaked with 

 red; petals much contracted at the base; ring absent; anther-cells separated by a large 

 connective; ovary glabrous. Fruit late midseason, hangs a long time; clusters short to 

 medium, filled to the tip, 10-20 berries, rather loose; cluster-stems short to medium, 

 slender; berry-stems slender; berries small, medium in size, adhere a long time, roundish 

 oblate, bright, glossy red; skin smooth, thin, tough, translucent; flesh juicy, firm, very 

 sprightly ; quality good.
