 among fruit growers. Pistillate. Originated with Samuel 

 Feast, Baltimore, Md. 



Forest RosCe — Large, irregular, obtuse-conical ; bright 



scarlet ; flesh firm, of good 

 flavor ; a superior market berry, 

 but unfortunately it does not 

 ajDpear to be well adapted to all 

 kinds of soils and locations. 

 Where it succeeds it will rank 

 high for market purposes as 

 well as for home use. An ac- 

 cidental seedling, introduced 

 by a 31r. Fetters, of Lancaster, 

 Ohio. Figure 35 gives a good 

 idea of the size of this va- 

 riety. From ^ ^American Agri- 

 culturist,'' 1878. 

 -See McAvoy's Superior. 

 Glendale. — Large, oblong-conic 

 firm, with a brisk sub-acid flavor ; 

 vigorous grower and a very produc- 

 tive, new variety, promising well 

 for market. Introduced by Mr. W. 

 B. Storer, who found it growing in 

 the cemetery at Akron, Ohio. 



Golden Defiance. — Large, obtuse- 

 conical ; bright scarlet ; flesh mod- 

 erately firm and of excellent flavor ; 

 ripens quite late ; plants very vigor- 

 ous, hardy, and productive. Prom- 

 ises to be a valuable acquisition to 

 our list of good sorts. Pistillate. Originated with Mr,
