SMALL FRUIT CULTURIST. 



Goliath* (Kittley's.) An old variety placed in the re- 

 jected list by the American Pomological Society in 1858, 

 but still praised by a few growers. It is worthless. 



Gwentver. (Mrs. Clements.) Medium, roundish or 

 flattened, bright scarlet ; flesh pink, juicy and sweet ; 

 vigorous, moderately productive and early. 



Haquin. (Haquin.) Fruit large, flattened cone, bright 

 red ; seeds prominent ; flesh solid, white, juicy and sweet ; 

 plant hardy, requires very high culture and a moist soil 

 to insure even a moderate crop. 



Hero. (De Jonghe.) Large, of a regular, globular 

 shape, bright red ; flesh carmine, very sweet ; early. 



Hillman* Medium to large, oval, bright scarlet. New ; 

 from Germany ; not fully tested. 



J lie Hilda. (Salter.) Large, conical, bright light crim- 

 son or dark scarlet, excellent flavor; a good grower, but 



rather tender ; moderately 

 productive. Figure 40. This 

 variety has lately been reviv- 

 ed under the name of Knox's 

 700, and it is said to be 

 very prolific in Mr. Knox's 

 grounds at Pittsburgh, Pa. 

 I have cultivated it for six 

 or seven years, but it has 

 never proved to be any more 

 productive than the mass of 

 foreign kinds which I have

valuable at the West, it will only be another instance 

 among the many where the success of a variety is only 

 local. 



Kate. (Mrs. Clements.) Medium, conical, bright 

 glossy red, solid, juicy, sweet, but sprightly; very early.
