198 Success with Small Fruits. 



every instance, as far as I can learn. I show my faith in it by my works, 

 for I am setting it out more largely than all other kinds together, even 

 going so far as to rent land for the purpose. I am satisfied, from frequent 

 inquiries in Washington Market, that it will take the lead of all others, and 

 it is so firm that it can be shipped by rail, like a Wilson strawberry. 



In Delaware and Southern New Jersey, a variety named " Queen of 

 the Market " is being largely set out. I have this variety in my specimen- 

 bed, side by side with plants that came from Thomas Cuthbert's garden, 

 and am almost satisfied that they are identical, and that Queen of the 

 Market is but a synonym of the Cuthbert. I have placed the canes and 

 spines of each under a powerful microscope and can detect no differences, 

 and the fruit also appeared so much alike that I could not see wherein it 

 varied. Plants of this variety were sent to Delaware some years since, 

 as they were to Michigan and California, and, wherever tested, they seem 

 to win strong and immediate favor. Its chief fault in this locality is its 

 lateness.
