162 SMALL FRUIT CULTURIST. 



Productive, and promises to be a good market variety 

 Originated in France, with M. Souchet, of Bagnolet, 

 near Paris. 



Huntsman's Giant. In size, shape and quality very 

 similar to the Franconia, but the canes grow much taller, 

 and when fully mature have a peculiar grayish-white bark. 

 A seedling of the Franconia, very productive, and continues 

 a long time in fruit. Raised by Prof. T. W. Huntsman, 

 Flushing, N. Y. Mr. Huntsman has paid considerable atten- 

 tion to the cultivation of the Raspberry, raising an immense 

 number of seedlings, hoping to obtain a hardy variety 

 that was equal to the best tender kinds. This one is not 

 claimed to be perfectly hardy, although more so than its 

 parent. Mr. Huntsman very reluctantly gave me permis- 

 sion to name this seedling and notice it, and I have done 

 so, believing it worthy of being placed among the new and 

 promising varieties. 



Imperial* This is another French variety lately intro- 

 duced. I have not yet fruited it. The plants resemble 

 the Hornet but the fruit is said to be not quite so good. 



Jouet* Medium to large, light pale yellow ; canes 

 feeble, spines very numerous, nearly white. Not worth 

 cultivating, as we have several others of the same color 

 which are far superior to it in every respect. 



Knevet'S Giant. Large, or very large, globular, light 

 crimson, adheres rather firmly to the core, juicy and 

 good; canes very strong, spines short, purplish, very few 

 and scattering. Very productive. An English variety of 

 considerable merit. 



Large Fruited Monthly. (Rivers' New Monthly.}-* 

 Medium to large, roundish-conical, crimson, soft, sweet, 

 and juicy, good ; canes strong, spines? red, stout. Some- 

 times it produces a very fair crop, but not equal to Belle 

 de Fontenay for a late one. Raised by Thomas Rivers, 

 Sawbridge worth, England.
