BEST HARDY FRUITS FOR SOUTHERN SCOTLAND. 667 



' Red Dutch,' ' Raby Castle,' and ' Victoria ' have taken the place of older 

 small -fruiting Red Currants ; while ' White Dutch ' and ' Transparent ' 

 are most in favour among the white varieties. 



Baspberries, as may be expected in a moist climate, fruit very regularly, 

 and such as * White Antwerp,' * Baumforth's Seedling,' and * Carter's 

 Prolific ' have given satisfaction. At present the newer ' Superlative ' is 

 much sought after, and, judging by its free growth and the strength of 

 its matured canes, it will speedily become the most popular variety. 



Filberts and Cobnuts are not extensively grown, as only in a very 

 warm season do they arrive at proper maturity. 



Qtiinces, Medlars, and Mulberries are seldom met with, and as fruits 

 do not hold an important position in northern horticulture. 



The Logan Berry is much prized for a preserve, and where wall-space 

 or any erection can be provided for training its long trailing growths it is 

 at once both ornamental and fruitful.
