berry we have tested. Crimson Beauty is 
praised by some and not by others. It Eeems 
the flowers are imperfect and that the plants 
should be set among those of other varieties 
to insure perfect fruit. The berries ripen 
early and are of good quality. The Ritual, 
finds this the same ns the Imperial, if we may 
judge the latter by plants sent us by Secretary 
Holman, of Missouri. The Cnthbert, dissem¬ 
inated by the Rural, still holds its place as 
the best late red; the Caroline as the best 
very hardy yellow. The Montclair is an im¬ 
proved Philadelphia, which originated with 
E. & J. Williams, of Montclair, N. J. It 
has never been advertized much aud is not 
perhaps, fully appreciated. Lost Rubies has 
proven a failure, or nearly so. 
The Gregg, among blackcaps, is, at the 
Rural Grounds, not hardy. The berries are of 
the largest; quality poor. It is late. The 
Ohio Blackcap gives the strongest and tallest 
canes of auy. It is quite hardy. Berries 
rather small. This is far from new, but it is 
not well known. Neuiaha originated with 
our respected friend and contributor, ex-Gov. 
R. W. Furnas, of Nebraska. Editor Chas. A. 
Green of Clifton, N. Y., is, we believe, the 
introducer. The Bouhegan is scarcely better 
than the Doolittle. We have many new 
varieties of both rod and black raspberries, 
several of which are promising. 
An everbearing raspberry will soon be in¬ 
troduced by Hale Bros, of So. Glastonbury, 
Conn., which is said to bear three full crops 
in a season 1 This is hard to believe. 
Among blackberries, the Snyder holds 
own as the hardiest. It is very prolific^yjJ 
the berries are not large. The Taylor is also 
quite hardy, though less so than the Snyder. 
The berries are larger. The Early Harvest 
seems to bo the earliest of standard black¬ 
berries—but there is a doubt as to its hard¬ 
iness. The berries are small and jet black; 
the drupes small and uniform. The Wilson 
Junior is a large berry of fair quality and 
productive. Whether it is hardier than its 
parent, the Wilson Hr., remains to be ascer¬ 
tained. The Wachusett is nearly free of 
thorns. The quality is good; size med 
ium; but the plants not very produc¬ 
tive. Stone's Hardy is with us en¬ 
tirely hardy; the berries of medium size. The 
canes are largo and somewhat dwarf, but they 
do not bear fruit very abundantly. 
The Western Triumph is spoken of in some 
catalogues as a new variety; but we have had 
it many years. It is very hardy, but unpro¬ 
ductive at the Rural Grounds. 
Crystal White is a white blackberry of good 
quality, but not hardy. The Miunewaska is 
not introduced. It originated with Mr. A. 
J. Caywood, of Marlboro, N. J. It is im¬ 
mensely prolific; the berries are about the size 
of the Kittatiuny, but not so sweet. Its hardi¬ 
ness is yet to be determined. 
The Lucretia Dewberry is as early as the 
Early Harvest. The berries are large and, 
when fully ripe, of good quality. It runs over 
the ground or may be trained to a stake or 
trellis. It is quite hardy. 
Of currants,the Fay's Prolific is the best red. 
There are no new white currants that we 
know of. 
Of gooseberries there are many new ap 
plicants. Ellwanger & Barry’s * ‘Industry” is 
said to be free from mildew in most places. 
The berries are large and of good quality. 
Dougall’s Seedlings (Canada) have not proven 
mildew-proof with us. A number of other 
varieties of gooseberries which have been 
tested at the Rural Grounds, will be illustrated 
and spoken of later. 
Of grapes whatshall we say? The now-comers 
are almost innumerable. Lady Washington 
is too late; Jefferson is also late though of the 
first quality. It is worthy of trial where the 
seasons are longer than at the Rural Grounds. 
Vergennes is also a reddish grape, of fair 
quality, that keeps well. Eldorado is of superb 
quality and very early—but it is not a grape 
that will succeed everywhere. Moore’s Early 
is the best early market grape. Eaton, (Jno. 
B. Moore, of Concui'd, Mass., will introduce 
it) will make its mark as an early black. The 
Niagara holds its high reputation for fruitful¬ 
ness and healthiness. It is probably the best 
market white grape known at present. Jes¬ 
sica is a very early whit* grape of some pro¬ 
mise. F. B. Hayes (white) is hardy Hud of 
good quality for n purely native grape. 
Ulster Co. Prolific, (lot ua call it Ulster) aud 
Poughkeepsie Rod, originated by Mr. Cay¬ 
wood, are la every way promising, Pockling- 
ton is Inferior to several white grapes of 
recent origin. The Woodruff Red disappoints 
us. It is a large, showy red grape but foxy. 
Eighty different kinds of grupes ure being 
tested at the Rural Grounds, reports of which, 
with true portraits, are made as they fruit, 
and will appear in tho Rural.
