VARIETIES OF OTHER SMALL FRUITS. 371 



Florence. — A variety resembling the above. 

 Ganargua and New Rochelle. — See pages 239, 240. 



BLACKBERRIES. 



In chapter xxiv. I have described those varieties that 

 have proved worthy of general cultivation. The Dorches- 

 ter winter-killed so badly on my place, and the fruit was 

 so inferior to that of the Kittatinny in size, that I discarded 

 it. It is good in flavor. The Missouri Mammoth is ten- 

 der, and often not productive. There are new varieties 

 that promise well, as Taylor's ProHfic, Ancient Briton, 

 Knox, Warren, Wachusett Thornless, Cro' Nest and sev- 

 eral others. I am testing them, and do not care to ex- 

 press any opinion as yet, or write descriptions that would 

 probably need considerable revision within six months. 



CURRANTS AND GOOSEBERRIES. 



In chapters xxvi. and xxvii, may be found a description 

 of those distinct varieties that are of chief value in this 

 country. I find no good reason why I should fill pages 

 with descriptions of varieties that are rarely cultivated, 

 and which might well give place to better kinds. Event- 

 ually, I shall give the results gathered from my trial-beds, 

 in which I am placing all the new and old varieties said 

 to be worthy of cultivation.
