APPENDIX. 141 



Jewell Among the new kinds. This seems to pre- 

 sent great merit, and justifies a test by all who desire 

 the best new varieties. 



Sharpies* Very large, average specimen, under good 

 cultivation, measuring one and a half inches in di- 

 ameter; generally oblong, narrowing to the apex, 

 irregular, often flattened ; clear light red, with a 

 smooth, shining surface ; firm ; sweet, with a delic- 

 ious aroma ; vigorous, hardy and very productive 

 when raised in hills with runners cut off. 



NEW R4SPBERRIES. 



Golden Queen This variety is a seedling of the 

 Cuthbert, but the color of the fruit is a rich, golden- 

 yellow. The flavor is of the highest quality, pro- 

 nounced by some superior to the old Brinkle's Or- 

 ange, the finest flavored of all raspberries. In size 

 equal to the Cuthbert ; immensely productive; a 

 very strong grower and hardy enough for extreme 

 northern latitudes, having stood uninjured when 

 even the Cuthbert suffered. The desire for a yellow 

 raspberry of high quality, combined with vigorous 

 growth and perfect hardiness, is believed to be fully 

 met in this variety. 



Gregg" Of great size ; fine quality ; very productive 

 and hardy. It takes the same position among black 

 caps as Cuthbert among the red sorts. No one can 

 afford to be without it. 



NEW CURRANTS. 



Cherry Very large; deep red ; rather acid ; bunches 

 short. Plants erect, stout, vigorous and productive.
