10 NEW FRUITS IN 1879. 



Marvin's Seedling was originated by H. Marvin, of Ovid, Michigan, in 

 1874. Berries large, roundish, conical, bright red, juicy, sub-acid. The 

 plant is said to be very prolific, and the fruit of such a texture as to fit it for 

 shipping ; very late. 



Huddleston's Favorite, a Seedling of the Wilson, raised by D. Huddle- 

 ton, Dunreith, Indiana, is described as larger than the Wilson, and of better 

 quality ; in short, it is said to possess all the good qualities, and none of the 

 bad, of that berry of world-wide fame. 



Success A Seedling of Jucunda, raised by N. B. White, of Norwood, 

 Mass., is said to be large, firm, of excellent flavor, and very late ; plant, vig- 

 orous, hardy and very prolific. 



Longfellow & Warren, raised by A. D. Webb, of Bowling Green, Ky., 

 were produced from a mixed lot of seed from Seth Boyden, Black Defiance, 

 Champion and Monarch. 



Longfellow is described as very large, long ; color dark red ; flesh firm, 

 sweet, rich and of first quality ; ripens early and ships well. Plant vigorous 

 and very productive. 



Warren, large and of fine flavor ; color dark red ; flesh firm and of good 

 quality. Plant vigorous, and as productive as Cumberland Triumph. 



Mr. Durand sends out a new sort called Black Giant, said to be very 

 large, and of good quality. 



Glendale was found growing wild in Akron, Glendale county, Ohio ; fruit 

 is of large size; color bright red, and is said to be of excellent quality when 

 fully ripe ; it ripens very late and is said to ship well. I saw a sample of 

 the fruit last season, at Cleveland, but it seemed only to be of medium 

 quality. 



The Garden, raised by P. H. Foster of Babylon, N. Y. is said to be a 

 seedling of Monarch of the West. It is described as large, of fine flavor 

 and very handsome. 



Shirts is the name of a new variety raised at Shelby, Michigan, and 

 is said to be promising. 



Cetywayo Raised by A. J. Cay wood & Son, Marlboro, N. Y., is de- 

 scribed as large, irregular, firm, sometimes measuring six inches in circum- 

 ference. It ranks with Chas. Downing in flavor ; fruit stems eight to ten 

 inches long, foliage a foot high ; quite prolific. 



Mammoth Bush of same origin described as making remarkably large 

 plants, having twenty to thirty fruit stools, foliage standing fifteen inches high, 

 more productive than the Wilson ; fruit a third larger than Wilson, uniform, 

 and equal to Triomphe de Gand in flavor.
