For the Southern States. 99 



Crescent Seedling. — We cannot recommend the Crescent, also a 

 pistillate variety, unless one desires to grow a large quantity of 

 very poor fruit. We have rejected it after two seasons' trial. 



President Lincoln. —When it is desired to produce monstrous 

 specimens of ill-shaped ffuit for exhibition, this kind will find 

 friends, especially among amateurs. Plant tolorably hardy, and 

 moderately productive ; needs rich soil and high culture. 



Sharpless. — An excellent large-sized berry moderately healthy, 

 productive and of m'od quaiitj^ We understand that it succeeds 

 well with good culture on our high hammocks. We will accord 

 the Sharpless a further trial. 



Cumberland Triumph. — A. large fine solid berry of regular shape 

 and good qualitj^ The foilage of the plant is abundant, conse- 

 quently stands the heat of our summers well, fruit large, conical, 

 scarlet in color and very prolific. 



Continental. — Plant hardy and healthy, but a shy bearer with 

 us 'j we consider it worthless for southern culture. 



JuGunda. — With us worthless. 



Boydenh No. 30.— An excellent fruit of fine quality, but owing 

 to leaf fiight, we have abandoned it. 



Miner'' s Great Prolific. — This variety, so promising last season, 

 has failed us this year. We propose, however, to accord it a 

 further trial owing to the healthy growth of the plant, and its 

 capability of standing our long dry season. 



The berry is firm, of excellent taste and flavor,, of good size and 

 color. A very prolific variety. 



Nunan, or Charleston Seedling. — This is the great market berry 

 grown so extensively in Georgia and South Carolina for the 

 Northern markets. We understand that it is prolific fruit, of 

 good size and early; qualities that will recommend it everywhere. 

 As it succeeds finely in the South Atlantic States, it will doubtless 

 answer equally as well in Louisiana and Mississippi. 



JEndicott^s Seedling. — This is a seedling of Boyden's 30, and very 

 similar in appearance, only the berries are larger and foilage 

 healthier and more abundant. Quality first rate, though the fruit 

 is somewhat tender for a distant market ; we would class this 

 variety as first class for an amateur-gardener, or parties living 

 in close proximity to a city. 



NEWER KINDS. 



Bidwell.~A new variety originating in Michigan, where it has 

 been grown for a series of years. It has also been tested by many
