APPENDIX, 



ADDITIONAL VARITIES. 



The varieties of the different species and families of 

 berries described and noticed in the following pages, have 

 mostly been introduced since the reyision of this work in 

 1881, and while it is scarcely probable that they are all 

 superior, or even equal in value, to the best of the older 

 and better known varieties, still, there are no doubt a 

 few among them which will prove to be very acceptable 

 acquisitions of their kind. I have not had an opportunity 

 of testing all of these new varieties ; in fact, some of 

 them have not as yet been fruited outside of the gardens 

 of their originators ; consequently in referring to their 

 merits, I am compelled, in some instances, to accept what 

 others say of them, instead of giving the results of my 

 own personal investigations and observations. 



STRAWBERRIES. 



Atlantic • — Berry medium, conical, of a rich, glossy, 

 crimson color ; flesh very firm. A poor grower, only 

 moderately productive, and ripening late in the season. 



Belmont. — A new and very promising variety with 

 oblong berries, of a dark crimson color, very firm and 

 high flavor. Plants very productive and of vigorous 

 growth. 



Bubach, IVOo 5. {Pistillate.) — A remarkable, vigorous 

 growing variety with imperfect or pistillate flowers. Fruit 

 large and handsome, but too soft for market ; not worth 

 cultivating, as we have many far better varieties with 

 perfect flowers.
