The Horticulturist and journal of rural art and rural taste . Fig. 9G.— Wilsons Albany. In form, it is very regular, nearly orquite conical; when gathered fresh, a bright,beautiful, rich, dark scarlet, that in a fewhours changes to a dingy, dirty hue. Allclasses of soils and positions seem to suitit, in so far as gipowth of vine and produc-tiveness are features; while its quality i?undoubtedly best on strong clay loams, andpoorest, or most acid, on sandy soils. McAvoys Superior.—From our obser-vation during this and last year, the variety. Fig. 97.—McAvoifs out as Buflfctlo so closely resembles thisvariety, that we are disposed to think them Varieties of StroAoherries. 229 identical; if not so, they are so nearly-alike, that whoever has McAvoys Superiordoes not want Buffalo. The CincinnatiHorticultural Society paid a ^100 premiumfor this variety as a superior one. In quality, it has really no equal, if weexcept Burrs New Pine; but in productive-ness, unless the beds are renewed each andevery year, and on good, strong, deep soil,it fails. It is too soft, and too irregular inform, for market. Frequently it is a brokencockscomb form ; but, as a general thing, itis irregular, pointed, round. The vines are liable to kill out in winter,and should be covered with pea haulm, orsome other mulching material. Hoveys Seedling.—This is another ofthe old sorts, too well known for comment.
