are wanted only if they are improvements on existing sorts. 

 They are not wanted merely to hang on the peg of the 

 Loganberry. 



Some good modern varieties of Raspberry are Profusion, 

 Perfection, Perpetuelle de Billard (syn. Belle de Fontenay), 

 November Abundance, and Alexandra. The last three 

 are good for autumn bearing. The first two are well 

 qualified to compete with such popular sorts as Super- 

 lative and Hornet. Perfection is distinguished by its 

 vigorous growth and smooth bright red stems. 



A few of the best modern Strawberries are Bedford 

 Champion, Reward, Givon's Late Prolific, Epicure, and 

 George Monro ; but Royal Sovereign is still the best for 

 general purposes. Those who like the smaller-fruited 

 "Perpetual" Strawberries should grow Laxton's Per- 

 petual or St. Antoine de Padoue.
