Enhance as a berry for either local market or shipping purposes stands 

 well toward the head of the list. Its irregularity of form and not ripening 

 -well at the tip are its only bad qualities. 



Parker Earle, under high culture and in a favorable season, is likely to 

 be the most profitable variety that could be selected for market purposes. 

 It is not a good plant producer and the plants often lack sufficient vigor to 

 ripen the large crop of fruit. 



Sadie and Stay man No.l are well worth a place in the home garden or 

 for near market. 



The old varieties, Bubach, Crescent, Haverlaud, Warfield, and Wilson are 

 still the choice of the great majority of the growers for market purposes. 

 Perhaps the time is near at hand when the Crescent and Wilson will be 

 superseded by the newer sorts, Bubach, Haverland, Parker Earle, and 

 Warfield. 



As pollenizers for the pistillate varieties, Cumberland, Miner, and Sharp- 

 less are the most commonly used, though Beder Wood and Woolverton 

 might be a better choice. 



In the table below is given the date of picking and the quarts picked of 

 fifteen of the more productive sorts among the newer varieties. By dividing 

 the season into two periods and giving the yield for each division of time, 

 an attempt has been made to show which are valuable as early varieties:
