APPENDIX. 421 



Great Bigarreau. A very large, beautiful, and productive 

 sort ; the origin and true name involved in uncertainty ; 

 resembling the Black Tartarian in flavor and texture, but 

 of a fine dark red color, becoming nearly black. Ripens 

 nearly as early as the Black Tartarian.' 



STRAWBERRIES. 



Among the best new sorts, are Rival Hudson, raised by J. 

 Burr, of Columbus, Ohio — dark red, pistillate, a profuse 

 bearer, and a most valuable market sort. Richardson's 

 Late and Walker's Seedling, highly commended by the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society ; and McAvoy's Su- 

 perior and Longworth's Prolific, by the Cincinnati Horti- 

 cultural Society. Jenny's Seedling (described on p. 406,) 

 is valuable, hardy, and productive ; the berries solid and 

 heavy, and losing their acidity and acquiring a fine high 

 flavor as they become fully ripe. The Genesee, a large, 

 roundish, brilliant and showy sort, of good quality, and a 

 fine grower and profuse bearer, raised by Ellwanger and 

 Barry, of Rochester, N. Y. ; may prove valuable for 

 market. 



RASPBERRIES. 



Knevett's Giant, a sub-variety of the Red Antwerp, hardier 

 than the latter; the Cushing, a fine new ?rimson sort, 

 raised by Dr. Brinckle, of Philadelphia ; and the Large- 

 F-mited Monthly, — are among the best new sorts.
