 through ignorance. 



Clarke. — This comparatively new variety is rapidly 

 gaining a popularity which it fully deserves. It is 

 hardy, prolific, and best in flavor. After a six years' 

 trial we j^lace it at the head of the list of all the 

 foreign species. There may be others that are better 

 for particular localities, but the Clarke will grow splen- 

 didly in soils where no other of the Antwerp family will 

 thrive. 



Daviso)i's ThornUss still holds to its good reputation. 

 We thought that after being propagated for a few genera- 

 tions that the plants might show a tendency to revert 

 back to the original type, and that thorns would be 

 developed, but among the thousands of plants that are 

 grown, nothing of the kind has as yet been observed. In 

 a few nurserymen's catalogues we notice that this variety 

 is called the Sinton ; tliis is an error that should be 

 corrected, as it is already causing confusion. Mr. Sinton 

 sent out the variety under the name of Davison's Thorn- 

 less Black Cap, and it should be known by this name, and 

 no other. One catalogue which we have received, oflers 

 both the Sinton and Davison, as though they were 

 distinct sorts — the Sinton being quoted at $200 per 

 thousand higher than the Davison. 



Duhring. — We think the Duhring Raspberry has been 

 very much overrated. It may do in localities and soils 

 where the Antwerp and similar varieties succeed, but in 

 our grounds, and many gardens in southern ISTew Jersey, 

 where we saw it in fruit the past season, it was a decided
