New Strawberries . 



Banana (Willard). — I have not cultivated this new variety, and the 

 description and figure are from specimens exhibited by the originator, 

 Mr. J. D. Willard, of Hartford, Conn,, before the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society. Fruit large, conical, with a long neck ; color light 

 scarlet, neither color nor shape being good. The name is given from its 

 flavor, which to us appeared to resemble the Hautbois. The fruit stems 

 were very long, and judging by the appearance of the trusses, it is a 

 productive variety. Rather soft even for an amateur berry. 



Banana. 



General Havelock (Filey). — Very large fruit, bright red; seeds 

 prominent. Flesh reddish, sour, and moderately good. I fruited this 

 variety one season. It is not the Cremont, as it is sometimes said to be. 



Genekal Havelock.
