Currants. 



Black : The Black Naples is the largest and best ; and next 

 to that, the Black grape. — Red : The best are the Red Dutch, 

 Knight's large red, Knight's sweet red, and Knight's early red. 

 [Wilmot's new red, exhibited last summer, at one of the exhi- 

 bitions of the Horticultural Society (see X. 411.), is the largest- 

 berried variety, we believe, known.] — White : The best is the 

 White Dutch. 



Raspberries. 



The best are : — Reds: the Barnet, Antwerp, and Double 

 bearing. — Yellow : the Yellow Antwerp. 



Strawberries. 

 Scarlets : — Old scai'let, a shy bearer, but of high flavour, 

 a great favourite with confectioners ; Grove End scarlet^ an 

 abundant bearer ; Roseberry, adapted for forcing ; Gomstone 

 scarlet, Black roseberry, American scarlet, and the Coul late 

 scarlet, which does not ripen till all the others are nearly, if not 

 quite, over. — Blacks : the Downton, excellent for preserving ; 

 and the Elton seedling, a great bearer, but ripening late. — 

 Pines : Keens' seedling, the very best of all the sorts for general 

 cultivation ; the Old pine ; [Myatt's seedling, a shy bearer, but 

 with a very high pine flavour; so much so, that when Keens' 

 seedling is selling in Covent Garden market at 6d. a pottle, 

 Myatt's seedling is selling at 35. a pottle. It generally bears 

 two crops a year, the second crop coming in about Lord 

 Mayor's Day (Nov. 9.). In consequence of its flowering and 

 bearing twice a year, the plants soon exhaust themselves, so 

 that they cannot be depended on either for duration or a crop. 

 (G. C); and Knevett's seedling, large, prolific, and very highly 

 flavoured.] — Chile: Wilmot's superb, very large. — Hautbois : 

 Prolific, and Large flat. — Greeti : the Green pine. — Alpifies :

 are the best.

 loaf, Ripley, St, Vincent ; Black Antigua (this should be cut as

 26 lbs.
