THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST. 113 



CUMBERLAND TRIUMPH. 



This variety licas received considerable attention since its intro- 

 duction in 1874, by A. Miller, Carlisle, Penn. The plant is vigorous 

 and hardy, and fairly productive, but by no means equal in this 

 respect to the AVilson. The berries are large and uniform, and of a 

 bright, light red color, and of fair quality, but too soft for shipping any 

 distance. In many respects it resembles the variety raised by J. H, 

 Biggar, of Drummondville, and named by him the 



NEW DOMINION. 



This possesses all the good qualities of the Cumberland Triumph, 

 and is at the same time more productive, of somewhat firmer flesh, and 

 better flavor. It is a very sliowy, handsome fruit, of large size, very 

 regularly formed, and very uniform, ripenijig towards tlie close of the 

 Wilson crop ; and though not of the highest flavor, sells well in a near 

 market, where it can be offered fresh. But it also is too soft to bear 

 long journeys by rail, and is in danger in such cases of arriving in a 

 damaged condition. 



miner's prolific, 

 » 



(sometimes called Miner's Great Prolific,) originated with T. B. ]\Iiner, 



of Linden, New Jersey, in 1877. This variety proves to be much like 



the Wilson in color and size of fruit, and also in quality. It is scarcely 



so firm in flesh, and so far as present experience enables us to speak 



of it, we do not find in it any desirable quality that we have not 



already in the Wilson. 



glendale. 



This variety was brought to notice by W. B. Stover, of Akron, 

 Ohio, who found it growing in the Glendale cemetry in 1871. It has 

 some good points for a market berry, and is deserving of careful trial. 

 The plant is healthy and vigorous, and yields good crops, though not 

 equal in productiveness to the Wilson or Crescent Seedling. The 

 berries are not very large, but more unifonn in size than those of 

 the Wilson. The color is a light scarlet ; the flavor good, but not best; 

 the flesh is firm, and the calyx large, so that it bears carriage well, 

 and the time of ripening is later than that of the Wilson. It will thus 

 be seen that in color of fruit, firmness of flesh, and time of rii)ening, it 

 possesses three good points for a profitable market berry.
