TJie Kirtlajid Raspberry. yy 



It, however, requires generous treatment. A good, strong soil, deeply 

 worked, and kept clear of weeds, grown in hills, with plenty of room, and 

 all runners kept off, are its requirements. With this treatment, it gives 

 here the most satisfactory results, and amply pays for this much of care 

 and attention, ^^'ere I confined to one variety of strawberry, my choice 

 would be the Jucunda. 



Rivers'' s Seeciruig Eliza. — Very fine both in size and quality, and moder- 

 ately productive. Berries uniformly large, even, and well formed ; color 

 bright and handsome ; flesh white ; in size but little inferior to Jucunda, 

 and in flavor fully its equal ; foliage strong and vigorous ; endures severe 

 winter freezing without protection, and the hot sun of summer without 

 injury. A valuable and good variety. 



Agriculturist still maintains its character as a very good, large-fruited 

 strawberry, though irregular in form, and dull in color. A vigorous and 

 hardy vine, quite productive. After its first setting, it gives a good many 

 small and imperfect berries ; but is still among the best of the large-fruited 

 kinds. 



All the above are staminate or perfect flowering varieties.

THE KIRTLAND RASPBERRY 



Is a variety which I think is not as well and generally known as it should 

 be. I have cultivated it for about twelve years ; have never given it winter 

 protection ; and have not once failed to get a full crop during the whole 

 time. Until the advent of the Clarke, I considered it the most valuable 

 red raspberry I had ever grown. It is, in quality, much superior to the 

 Philadelphia, and more attractive ever}' way as grown here ; being firmer, 

 of brighter color, and far better flavored. In addition to its other good 

 qualities, it is also a week earlier than any other raspberry in my collec- 

 tion. Geo. IV. Campbell.
