spines; very productive. One of Dr. Brinokle'a 



eedlings. 



Yellow Chili. Large, conical, pale yellow, slightly 

 tinged with orange, very soft, sweet and juicy; canea 

 strong, branching, spines long, slender, white. A French 

 variety which I received about ten years since. Not valu- 

 able, and inferior to several others of similar color. 



Miscellaneous Varieties* The following list comprises 

 the new and old varieties of which little is known at the 

 present time. Some of them have been merely announced 

 in the nurserymen's catalogues, or in some of the various 

 Horticultural Journals, while others are old foreign varie- 

 ties that have been superseded by better kinds. I have 

 added whatever information I possessed in regard to each. 

 Plants of some of the new ones have been received, but not 

 tested, consequently I cannot give a description, nor de- 

 cide upon their merits : 



Bromley Hill. An old, red, English variety, of fair 

 quality, but not productive. 



Beehive. Large red. (Prince's Catalogue, 1844.) 



Cornish. An old discarded English variety. 



Chili Monthly. An old foreign variety. 



Cox's Honey, An old white variety. 



Early Prolific. Poor flavor; an old variety from 

 England. 



Jillards's Seedling. An English variety of very good 

 quality. 



Keystone, Originated with A. L. Felton, Philadelphia, 

 Pa. Described as very large, crimson. An excellent 

 variety, although the canes are tender. 



Lonff worth, Large, round, deep crimson. One of Dr. 

 Brinckle's seedlings. 



Mrs. Ingersoll. Large, yellow, of fair quality. Raised 

 by Dr. Brinckle.
