or yellowish white canes and strong white spines. Of medium 

 size, orange yellow, moderately firm, juicy and sprightly.

 Ohio, growing by the roadside near his place, in 1887, and intro- 

 duced by him in 1893. Described as medium to large, dull black, 

 with a slight bloom, moderately juicy, and a good shipper. Sea- 

 son very late. Tends to produce a second crop in autumn. 



General Negley. Mentioned by Mr. Arnold, before the Ontario 

 Fruit Growers' Society, as a perpetual bearing black-cap.' 55 ' Un- 

 der this name Crozier quotesf from Dr. J. A. Warder as follows: 

 "A seedling, probably from one of the large foreign varieties, 

 Pilot, Hornet or Franconia, originated by General Negley, of 

 Pittsburg. It is vigorous, of foreign aspect and foliage. Stood 

 the past winter well; is productive, rather early. Fruit large, 

 roundish oblong, juicy, high flavor, and very good." 



Golden-cap. A seedling of the American White -cap, originat- 

 ing in Cedar county, Iowa ; seems to have received some special 

 notice under this name.

 Johnston, of Palmyra, N. Y., previous to 1869. Described as 

 moderately vigorous and productive, with few spines. Fruit large,

Gregg (Great Western, Hoosier Mammoth, Western Tri- 

 umph). Found growing wild in a ravine on the Gregg farm, in 

 Ohio county, Indiana, in the latter part of June, 1866. It was 

 most thoroughly tested and widely exhibited before being intro- 

 duced, and has borne out in a remarkable way the early promises 

 it gave. It was largely introduced by N. Ohmer, of Dayton, Ohio, 

 who first saw the fruit on exhibition in 1875. He bought two hun- 

 dred plants the following spring, propagated them for three years, 

 then introduced it to the public. Canes large, upright, very vig- 

 orous, possessing an abundance of bloom and a peculiar clean, 

 smooth appearance which always makes them noticeable. More 

 difficult to propagate than many other sorts, owing to its upright,
