154 THE CANADIAIf HORTICULTURIST. 



Glendale, for a late sort, is the most promising coming strawberry 

 for family and market purposes. It is considered far in advance of 

 Kentucky, and will very likely supersede it for late market purposes. 



Duncan is a very promising fruit, possessing very high internal 

 qualities, as its flavor is the highest and most distinct of any sort. It 

 is not very solid, however, and the plant is a poor bearer. 



Arnold's Maggie and Bright Ida are new Canadian fruits, originated 

 by Charles Arnold, Paris, Ont., the well known champion of new fruits. 

 "Where tested they are found to possess some considerable promise, 

 and are firm in color and flavor ; conical and prepossessing. 



Marvin is a new American sort that may yet become distinguished 

 among our Canadian lists of fruits. It has not been very widely dis- 

 seminated as yet, nor can much be said of it. 



Col. Cheney is not among the new sorts, strictly speaking, but it 

 is a fine, profitable variety, and worthy of more general introduction. 

 It is of tlie Sharpless type, but is far ahead of that variety in produc- 

 tiveness. It is increasing in favor as a profitable market sort. 



New Dominion is a promising new Canadian strawberry of recent 

 introduction. We have fruited it for one or two years, and think that 

 for family and market purposes it is a decided acquisition. It is 

 hardy in plant and fine in fruit, of the Crescent Seedling type, and of 

 good flavor. 



RASPBERRIES. 



This fruit is very promising, and is rapidly growing in popular 

 favor ; the planting and growing of it is at present occupying much of 

 our attention. I shall proceed to notice it in the following condensed 

 order : Highland Hardy, Brandy wine, Turner, Herstine, Naomi, 

 Clarke, Cuthbert, Queen of the Market, Thwack, Ganargua, Saunders 

 No. 56, Mammoth Cluster and Gregg, as the best that have come under 

 my notice. 



Highland Hardy is a widely disseminated American variety, and 

 is said to be the earliest ripening sort, but of very poor quality. Its 

 remarkable earliness and solid fruit make it a very desirable variety 

 for market. 



Brandy wine is early and productive ; much resembling Highland 

 Hardy. It is very valuable for early market. 



Turner is a recently introduced American fruit of the first promise. 

 The plant is hardy and almost thornless, and a very strong grower ;
