THE CANADIAN H0RTICDLTDRI8T. 



THE KITTATIKNV, 



banished from even the home garden, 

 until the justly famed 



KITTATINNY 



appeared. We planted this variety 

 near the south shore of Lake Ontario 

 some twelve yeai-s ago, and notwith- 

 standing the many introductions since, 

 it remains so far our favorite. Hardier 

 than the Lawton, ripening more evenly 

 and thoroughly, of large and sometimes 

 .monstrous size, it is greedily bought up 

 in the max-kets at an advanced pi'ice 



over such smaller kinds as Taylor or 

 Snyder ; while for home use, from the 

 middle of August to the middle of 

 September, we find it indispensable in 

 the fruit garden. 



From the South and West we read 

 reports to the effect that this variety is 

 there attacked by the blackberry fungus, 

 or " rust," to such an extent as to 

 render it worthless. So far, however, 

 it has escaped this disease with \is.
