344 SUCCESS WITH- SMALL FRUITS. 



same time, under high culture, with runners cut, it improves 

 wonderfully. It has yielded at the rate of 15,000 quarts to 

 the acre. Originated with Mr. William Parmelee, of New 

 Haven, Conn., in 1870. Pistillate, or nearly so. 



Centennial Favorite. — Plant vigorous, tall, with light 

 green foliage ; truss 3 to 7 inches, much branched ; berry 

 dark scarlet, round to flat, inclined to have a neck ; 2 to 4 

 inches ; smooth and glossy in appearance, uniform in size ; 

 flesh dark scarlet ; flavor fine ; calyx spreading ; season 

 medium to late ; moderately productive. Originated with 

 j\[r. E. W. Durand, Irvington, N. J. Pistillate. 



Cinderella. — Plant very vigorous, with light green foliage ; 

 leaf-stalks soft, downy ; truss 4 to 6 inches ; berry conical, 

 sometimes necked, bright scarlet, glossy; flesh moderately 

 firm, light pink ; flavor fair, but not high ; size 3 to 5 

 inches ; season early to medium ; calyx spreading.

 The berry is almost as beautiful and attractive as the Ju- 

 cunda, which it resembles somewhat ; and it can be grown 

 on light soils, where the Jucunda cannot thrive. Originated 

 with Mr. Oscar Felton, of N. J., 1873. Staminate. 



Continental. — Plant vigorous ; leaf-stalk smooth ; truss 

 5 to 7 inches, well branched, bearing 12 to 18 berries; berry 

 dark crimson, obtusely conical ; flesh firm, scarlet ; flavor 

 good ; calyx recurving ; season late ; moderately produc- 

 tive, and, under hill culture, very prolific. Originated with 

 Mr. Oscar Felton. Staminate. 



When visiting Mr. Felton, I saw several other seedlings 

 of great promise, which I hope he will send out at an early 

 date. 



Colonel Cheney. — Plant low, spreading, vigorous, with
