128 THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST. 



better strawbeny to his taste than a perfectly ripened Wilson, pre- 

 ferring it by far to Jucuncla or Triomph de Gand. Many prefer either 

 of the latter to the Wilson. Crystal City is a very early sort ; Prouty 

 ripens after ; Cumberland Triomph large and very productive, and 

 Glendale, late. These should satisfy the wants of any family in the 

 strawberry season, if one only plants enough of them. 



An esteemed correspondent asks : — 



What about the Ciithbert Raspberry; is it the same as the Pride of 

 the Market 1 



A few days ago we made a visit to our friend Morris, of Fonthill, 

 County of Welland, and spent the day with him rambling over his 

 nurseries, and among other interesting objects he showed us some rows 

 of both of these varieties growing side by side. The only ditference 

 that we could see in them was that the Cuthbert row had been much 

 more severely winter-killed than' the Pride of the" Market. In foliage, 

 habit of growth, color and size and flavor of fruit, we could not see 

 any difference. The Cuthbert row having suffered so much more from 

 winter-killing the canes was necessarily less productive. ■ We had 

 about concluded that the winter -killing of the Cuthbert row Avas 

 owing to some accidental cause too obscure to be certainly designated, 

 but on subsequently examining a small block of Cuthberts at Lockport, 

 N. Y., we noticed that they had been also considerably killed back by 

 the winter. If there be any difference between the Cuthbert and 

 Pride of the market, this is the only one, and this requires the test of 

 future trial to be accepted. It appears to be a very prolific bearer, 

 and the fruit is of good size, good color and flavor, and sufficiently 

 ifirm to carry well to market. 



THE GREGG RASPBERRY. 



Mr. Morris also showed us a few rows of this new black-cap in 

 bearing. Under the same treatment it /is not only larger tlian the 

 Mammoth Cluster, but fully as productive, and ripening just after the 

 crop of Mammoth Cluster is harvested. Beginning with Davison's 

 Thornless, which is one of the earliest, the season of black-caps is very 

 much prolonged by adding a few rows of the Gregg, to come in after 

 the Mammoth Clusters are gone.
