near West Chester, Pa. , and is supposed to be a cross 

 between Cumberland andGlendale. After a thorough 

 trial I am highly pleased with it. The plant is vigor- 

 ous, throwing out abundant runners. The fruit is 

 large and has a large calyx ; shape somewhat irregu- 

 lar, but not to hurt ; ripens evenly and is red inside ; 

 flavor good, but best as a market berry, and it is very 

 handsome and solid ; it is the best of all for canning 

 and preserves. In season it is medium to late. It 

 does best on loamy or clayey soil. See colored Plate 

 VI.
