SMALL FRUIT CULTURIST. 



moderately rich and good. In deep, rich soils this va- 

 riety produces a fair crop, but it is not generally popular 

 among fruit growers. Pistillate. Originated with Samuel 

 Feast, Baltimore, Md. 



Forest Rose. Large, irregular, obtuse-conical ; bright 

 scarlet ; flesh firm, of good 

 flavor ; a superior market berry, 

 but unfortunately it does not 

 appear to be well adapted to all 

 kinds of soils and locations. 

 Where it succeeds it will rank 

 high for market purposes as 

 well as for home use. An ac- 

 cidental seedling, introduced 

 by a Mr. Fetters, of Lancaster, 

 Ohio. Figure 35 gives a good 

 idea of the size of this va- 

 riety. From "American Agri- 

 culturist," 1878. 

 General Meridian. See McAvoy's Superior. 

 Olendale* Large, oblong-conic ; bright scarlet ; flesh 



firm, with a brisk sub-acid flavor ; a 



vigorous grower and a very produc- 



tive, new variety, promising well 



for market. Introduced by Mr. W. 



B. Storer, who found it growing in 



the cemetery at Akron, Ohio. 



Golden Defiance. Large, obtuse- 

 conical ; bright scarlet ; flesh mod- 

 erately firm and of excellent flavor ; 

 ripens quite late ; plants very vigor- 

 ous, hardy, and productive. Prom- 

 ises to be a valuable acquisition to 

 our list of good sorts. Pistillate. Originated with Mr. 

 Amos Miller, of Pennsylvania. (Figure 36.)
