SMALL FRUIT CULTURIST. 



Goliath, {Kittley^s) — An old variety placed in the re- 

 jected list by the American Pomological Society in 1858, 

 but still jDraised by a few growers. It is worthless. 



Gwentrer. {Mrs, Clements,) — Medium, roundish or 

 flattened, bright scarlet ; flesh pink, juicy and sweet ; 

 vigorous, moderately j^roductive and early. 



Haqilin, {Saquin,) — Fruit large, flattened cone, bright 

 red ; seeds j^rominent ; flesh solid, white, juicy and sweet ; 

 plant hardy, requires very high culture and a moist soil 

 to insure even a moderate crop. 



Hero. {De Jonghe.) — Large, of a regular, globular 



shape, bright red ; flesh carmine, very sweet ; early. 



llillman* — Medium to large, oval, bright scarlet. Xew ; 



from Germany ; not fully tested. 



Jucimda. {Salter.) — Large, conical, bright light crim- 

 son or dark scarlet, excellent flavor ; a good grower, but 



rather tender ; moderately 

 13roductive. Figure 46. This 

 variety has lately been reviv- 

 ed under the name of Knox's 

 700, and it is said to be 

 very prolific in Mr. Knox's 

 grounds at Pittsburgh, Pa. 

 I have cultivated it for six 

 or seven years, but it has 

 never jiroved to be any more 

 13roductive than the mass of 

 foreign kinds which I have 

 tried. If it should prove 

 vaiuaDie at tne w est, it will only be another instance 

 anion o; the manv where the success of a varietv is onlv 

 local. 



Kate* {3Irs. Clements,) — Medium, conical, bright 

 glossy red, solid, juicy, sweet, but sprightly ; very early.
