Varieties of other Small Fruits. 303 



Miami Black-cap. A vigorous, productive variety, found growing 

 near the Miami River, in Ohio. The fruit approaches a brownish red in 

 color, and is not equal to the Mammoth Cluster in value. 



Philadelphia. See page 190. 



Seneca Black-cap. Raised by Mr. Dell, of Seneca Co., N. Y. The 

 fruit is between the Doolittle and Mammoth Cluster in size, and is later 

 than the former ; not so black, having a shade of purple, and is juicy, 

 sweet and good. 



Lum's Everbearing and Ohio Everbearing Black Raspberries. Varie- 

 ties that resemble each other. If a good autumn crop is desired, cut away 

 the canes in the spring, so as to secure a strong early growth of new 

 wood, on which the fruit is to be borne. 



Golden Thornless. A large variety of the American White-cap, intro- 

 duced by Purdy & Johnson, Palmyra, N. Y. 



Florence. A variety resembling the above. 



Ganargua and New Rochelle. See page 194. 



BLACKBERRIES. 



In chapter xxiv. I have described those varieties that have proved 

 worthy of general cultivation. The Dorchester winter-killed so badly on 

 my place, and the fruit was so inferior to that of the Kittatinny in size, 

 that I discarded it. It is good in flavor. The Missouri Mammoth is ten- 

 der, and often not productive. There are new varieties that promise well, 

 as Taylor's Prolific, Ancient Briton, Knox, Warren, Wachusett Thorn- 

 less, Cro' Nest and several others. I am testing them, and do not care to 

 express any opinion as yet, or write descriptions that would probably need 

 considerable revision within six months. 



CURRANTS AND GOOSEBERRIES. 



In chapters xxvi. and xxvii. may be found a description of those dis- 

 tinct varieties that are of chief value in this country. I find no good 

 reason why I should fill pages with descriptions of varieties that are rarely 

 cultivated, and which might well give place to better kinds. Eventually, 

 I shall give the results gathered from my trial-beds, in which I am placing 

 all the new and old varieties said to be worthy of cultivation.
