The two following Tarieties, Oriole and Ideal, are the result of a careful cross between Hoffman and Bubach. The idea was to secure a variety with the earliness, firmness and color of Hoffman, and the size and vigor of Bubach. They were originated by Mr. J. W. Kerr, of Denton, Md., and were named and described by Prof. S. B. Heiges, United States Pomologist. Ideal, so named by Professor Heiges. It is ideal in every respect; in form no berry could be more perfect, and its uniformity is cer- tamly very remarkable. We know of no other berry so regular. In color it is just right; the same dark red that distinguishes the Wilson when it comes up right: flesh rich red all through as all over; of a very high flavor, with a firmness unusual among berries of its large size. Calix large and showy and a strong staminate of productive habit and robust healthy growth. In foliage and growth of plants, this variety strongly reminds us of Greenville (it would take a decided expert to tell them apart when growing); its fruit also re- sembles the Greenville in a decided size and quantity, though more regular and less pointed, with a season a full week earlier, about one picking ahead of Dayton. Nearer perfection, says Mr. Kerr, than any other variety in existence. Ideal, says the Po- mologist, and he has hit the mark exactly. Professor M. H. Beckwith, Horticulturist, Delaware Experiment Station, says: " IDEAL - A Strong-, vigorous plant with perfect blossoms ; fruit large to ver\- large, calyx promi- nent. The berry is broadly heart-shaped, ver\- uni- form in shape, never coxconibed ; color, bright scarlet ; flesh very firm, deep scarlet throughout, quality excellent. Vines very productive. liegin
