COL. CHENEY STRAWBERRY. 



* Col. Cheney, (P.) — A. cross between the Russell and Triomph de Grand. It has the 

 rich gloss and distinct scarlet of the first, with the luscious meaty character and firm- 

 ness of the latter. The fruit is large and very uniform in size, and enormously pro- 

 ductive, being fully equal in productiveness, with us, to the famous Wilson's Albany. 

 The plant is strong, healthy and robust, resembling the Triomph, but having, nore 

 of the luxuriousness of the Russell. We consider it one of the finest varieties, on our 

 grounds. Its peculiar spicy flavor is admired by all. From all parts of the country; ' 

 and especially from the South, we have the most favorable reports of it. It is per- 

 fectly hardy, standing the summer's sun and winter's cold, to perfection.
