APPEHDIX. 281 



Early Canada. Said to resemble the " Old Iron 

 Clad," but in no respects superior. Plants only mode- 

 rately productive. 



Emily's White. Recommended only as a novelty. 

 The first berries to ripen are light red, but later they are 

 almost pure white. I have not seen this variety, but 

 from description it would seem to be very similar to 

 Lennig's White, when grown in exposed positions, and 

 when the fruit is not shaded by the leaves. 



Gaudy's Prize, A new variety, of which little is 

 known. It is supposed to be a cross between the Jersey 

 Queen and Glendale. It is claimed by the originator to 

 be the latest in ripening, and the hardest fleshed variety 

 known. Berries large, nearly globular, bright crimson, 

 with a rich and sprightly flavor. Plants very stocky in 

 growth, and said to be productive. 



Garretson. (Pistillate.) This is not a new variety, but 

 only recently disseminated by its originator, the well 

 known seedsman of Flushing, N. Y., after whom it is 

 named. Fruit large globular, bright crimson, very 

 firm, and of good flavor. Eecommended as an excellent 

 market berry, owing to its uniform size and firm flesh. 



Henderson, Very large, early, and immensely pro- 

 ductive ; but its great merit is in its exquisite flavor. It 

 is also claimed by its disseminator to be adapted to all, or 

 at least to a great variety of soils. It has not as yet been 

 very widely distributed, or extensively cultivated, and it 

 may not prove as good or valuable as represented. 



Hoffman's Seedling. A chance seedling, found in a 

 garden at Charleston, S. C., and it promises to be a valu- 

 able variety for the South. The introducer says that it 

 is extra early, of large size, and so firm that it may be 

 readily and safely shipped to Northern markets. 



James Tick, Medium, obtuse-conical, bright scarlet ; 

 flesh pink, firm, but only second rate in quality. A
