110 SMALL FRUIT CULTURIST. 



old English variety, discarded by nearly every cultivator 

 in the country, yet it has been frequently brought out un- 

 der a new name. Trembly's Union proved to be this 

 variety, and was so declared by several fruit growers 

 when it was first exhibited. The Golden Queen of 

 Rochester, N. Y., is also said to be the Victoria. 



I might add a hundred varieties more to this list, but it 

 would be only increasing the number of names without ad- 

 ding any merit, and it is very likely that before these 

 pages are read by fruit growers there will be another list 

 of new kinds announced. 



ALPINE STRAWBERRIES. 



Alpine Redi (American Alpine, Berancon, De Mon- 

 treuil a Fruit Rouge, De Montreuil a Marteau, Fressant, 

 Dent de Cheval, De Ville de Bois.) Medium, conical; 

 seeds projecting ; light crimson or dark scarlet, mild sub- 

 acid, not rich, but good ; plant very hardy, and moder- 

 ately productive. 



Alpine Red, monthly. (Autumnal Galande, Des Al- 

 pes a Fruit Rouge, Des Alpes de tous les Mois a Fruit 

 Rouge, Des Alpes de deux Saisons a Fruit Rouge, Des 

 Alpes de quatre Saisons, Alpine Rouge, Scarlet Alpine, 

 Prolific Alpine, Poitou Alpine Monthly, Versailles Al- 

 pine Monthly, La Mendonaise, Glory de Nancy Alpine, 

 &c., <fcc.) Similar to the common Red Alpine, but pro- 

 duces a continuous crop throughout the entire summer. 

 Requires high culture.

 Blanc.) Same as the first, except in color of fruit, which 

 is white, and the leaves are of a lighter green.
