EUROPEAN-TYPE VARIETIES 203 



Double -Bearing Red (Perpetual -Bearing, Twice-Bearing, Late 

 Liberian, Late Cane, etc.). Mentioned by Prince and by Bridge- 

 man. Downing says, it was formerly esteemed for its autumn 

 bearing habit, but was then superseded by better kinds. 



Downing. A seedling of the Orange, by Charles Downing. 



Duhring. A seedling of Hornet originated by Henry Duhring, of 

 Belmont, near Philadelphia. Little known outside of that vicinity.

 about 1840, and known only as a parent of Brinckle's Orange. 

 Mich. Exp. Sta. Bull. Ill: 271. 



Early Prolific. An old English variety of poor flavor. Fuller. 



Emily. One of Dr. Brinckle's seedlings which proved unworthy 

 of attention. 



Empire A seedling of Biggar raised by Prof. William Saunders, 

 of London, Ont. Described as early, productive, fairly vigorous. 

 Fruit medium to large, conical, bright red, firm and of good 

 quality. 



English Cane (Twice -Bearing). For sale by Prince & Mills, 

 of Flushing, L. I., in 1822. Perhaps the same as Double -bearing 

 or some of the other English varieties. 



English Giant. Imported from Denmark, by W. D. Barnes & 

 Son, Middlehope, N. Y. On trial at the Geneva (N. Y.) Ex- 

 periment Station in 1894. 



English Globe. A variety mentioned by Downing. 



English White (Old English Yellow [?]). For sale by Prince 

 & Mills, of Flushing, L. I., in 1822 at 8 cents each. The 

 White Antwerp sold at 25 cents each, and the American White at 

 12% cents each, so this could hardly have been either of those. 



Everbearing Red. Mentioned by William Parry in 1869 as no 

 longer popular. Also recorded as a failure in Canada. 



Fastolf (Filby). One of the best English varieties, which de- 

 rived its name from having originated near the ruins of an old 

 castle of that name in Great Yarmouth. First advertised by Yuell 

 & Co., in the Gardeners' Chronicle in 1843. Ripens about ten days 

 earlier than Franconia. Figured in Hovey's Magazine 1846: 299. 

 Crozier* cites a reference which seems to indicate a much earlier 

 origin. 



Flesh-Colored (Frambosier Couleur de Chair). Said to have 

 been obtained by William R. Prince from the Mediterranean with 

 the Cretan Red, which it closely resembles. 



Fontenay (Belle de Fontenay, Belle d'Orleans, Amazon). A
