94 Hyde's Emily. 



kind I have seen. Fruit large to very large, very regular ; color bright 

 scarlet ; flesh firm, juicy, sweet, and rich. The plants had a hardy, healthy, 

 vigorous look, and were very productive. If it succeeds as well in other 

 localities and soils, it will be an acquisition both for the amateur and 

 marketman. 



Another new variety, the Clinton, is represented by a New-Jersey grower 

 as likely to equal if not to exceed the Wilson as a market-sort in vigor, 

 hardiness, and productiveness ; but, not having seen the fruit, I can say 

 nothing of its quality, &c. 



At the fruit-grower's meeting at Rochester, Jacob Moore of that place 

 exhibited his seedling, Moore's Earl}^, which was of large size, conical- 

 compressed ; color bright glossy scarlet ; flesh quite firm, juicy, rich, sub- 

 acid. Mr. Moore said it ripened with Early Scarlet, and was vigorous, 

 productive, and a valuable early sort. 



J. Keech of Waterloo had also several seedlings on exhibition, which 

 were showy, of large size, and good quality ; but all unnamed, except one, 

 America, which was large, obtuse-conical, wedge-shaped, and somewhat 

 irregular ; color dark crimson ; flesh quite firm, with a very good sub-acid 

 flavor. Mr. Keech said it was quite early, and all the berries ripened 

 nearly at the same time. 



HYDE'S EMILY. 



This new pink, now first being sent out by William C. Strong, bids fair 

 to prove the best white in cultivation. 



It is a noble flower, full, free, clear in color, never bursting, and as fra- 

 grant as the old pink carnation. In growth, the plant is sturdy, free-flower- 

 ing, and, in fact, all that can be desired. 



Mr. Hyde has been most fortunate in the production of seedlings ; and 

 the subject of our present notice must supersede all other white varieties. 

 It has the additional advantage of being perfectly hardy. E. S. R., jfun.
