206 BUSH-FRUITS 



Jouet. A French variety introduced here by Aubrey & Souchet, 

 of Carpenter's Landing, N. J. 



King (Thompson's King). Sent out by the Cleveland Nursery 

 Co., of Rio Vista, Va., in 1892. Described by H. E. Van De- 

 man as medium in size, round, light crimson, drupes large, 

 few, suture plainly marked, moderately firm, juicy, subacid and 

 good. Professor Beach says* that it shows evidence of Idaeus 

 parentage. 



Knevett Giant. Imported from England by Marshall P. 

 Wilder in 1843, having been received as a present from Messrs. 

 Chandler & Co., of Vauxhall, who stated that the ones they gave 

 to Mr. Wilder were all they had ever had. They were under the 

 impression that these were brought in by some person in that 

 vicinity. The variety became quite popular in this country. 



Lady Ann. A seedling of Biggar Seedling, produced by Pro- 

 fessor William Saunders, of London, Ont., and now on trial in 

 Canada. Said to be moderately vigorous, large, firm, and of 

 good quality. Mich. Exp. Sta. Bull. Ill: 287. 



Large- fruited Monthly (Rivers's Large-fruited Monthly, Rivers's 

 New Monthly) . Said to have been imported from the continent 

 to England by Thomas Rivers, in 1847, and brought to this 

 country later. Apparently it never proved valuable here. 



Longworth. One of Dr. Brinckle"'s Seedlings, which Fuller 

 describes as large, round, deep crimson. 



Lord Beaconsfield . Mentioned as an English variety on trial at 

 the Experimental Farm at Agassiz, B. C. 



Lost RuUes. A variety said to have been found growing in 

 a bed of Naomi by A. M. Purdy, and sent to Charles A. 

 Green, of Rochester, N. Y., who introduced it. Regarded by 

 many as identical with Naomi. Whether this be true or not, 

 the name "Lost Rubies" was very appropriate, for its fruit 

 proved to be conspicuously absent, most of it being imperfect. 



Magnum Bonum. Introduced from England about 1840. Said 

 to be similar to, if not the same as, Yellow Antwerp. 



Mrs. Ingersoll. One of Dr. Brinckle"'s seedlings. Large, yel- 

 low, and of fair quality. 



Mrs. Wilder. A seedling of the Colonel Wilder, similar in 

 color. Named by Dr. Brinckle". 



Muriel. A seedling raised from Biggar Seedling by Professor 

 Saunders. Said to be moderately vigorous, large, dark red, 

 pointed, rather soft, of best quality, and ripening early.
