SMALL FRUIT CULTUEIST. 



old English, variety, discarded by nearly every cultivator 

 m the country, yet it has been frequently brought out un- 

 der a new name. Trembly's Union proved to be this 

 variety, and was so declared by several fruit growers 

 when it was first exhibited. The Golden Queen of 

 Rochester, N. Y., is also said to be the Victoria. 



I might add a hundred varieties more to this list, but it 

 would be only increasing the number of names without ad- 

 ding any merit, and it is very likely that before these 

 pages are read by fruit growers there will be another list 

 of new kinds announced.
