60 SELECTION OF VARIETIES. 
tors it is not so popular. It wants the best clean cul- 
tivation, with every plant two feet apart from all others, 
and will bear richer soil than almost any other variety ; 
with such treatment it will produce a good crop of 
uniformly large, round, handsome fruit of high flavor. 
BLACK PRINCE. 
A large, handsome, very dark crimson or blackish- 
purple fruit, of English parentage and pistillate flowers. 
The plants are vigorous and hardy, quite productive, 
usually too watery and insipid in flavor, but some- 
times we have found it to be of the richest flavor. A 
few plants are worthy of a place in most private 
gardens. 
LIZZIE RANDOLPH. 
A very large showy fruit, quite productive, but of 
such inferior flavor as to discourage its dissemination. 
It is pistillate, and originated in Philadelphia. 
SWAINSTONE SEEDLING. 
An English staminate of the highest flavor and 
great beauty, but unfortunately so fickle in its bearing 
habits as to drive it from all but the amateurs’ and a 
few of the best nurserymen’s gardens.
