46 STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



22. Golden Defiance— This I thought was lost, but have it in all 

 its glory ; one of the handsomest and best in the lot. 



2S. Harry — A large, handsome, good berry, and will, no doubt, 

 make its mark. 



24. Splendid — This tells for itself; in every way a desirable one. 



25. Philip's Seedling — This one pleases me greatly; two years' 

 trial proves it to be valuable. 



ilG. Mrs. Cleveland — As usual, a superb, large berry, and well 

 worth growing. 



27. Chas. Downing — A standard of excellence, and productive oii 

 plants the second year. 



28. Capt. Jack — An old stand-by, and with the proper care a 

 match for most of the new ones. 



29. James Vick — Did splendidly, the few plants I have. 



30. Cumberland — Hard to bear where grown in stools. 



31. Bubach Xo. a — One of the best market strawberries. 



32. Tennessee Prolific — Among the most promising of all the 

 new ones. 



33. Robinson — A berry that has a number of good qualities. 



34. Vooris — This pleases me greatly, as it is in every way a

35. Leader — Plants hard to keep alive with me. 



36. Hart's Minnesota — Why this one is let go out, I cannot under-

38. Van Deraan — Is also too unproductive. 



39. Stayman's No. 1 — This I once lost, but have it now, and will 

 not let it go again ; very valuable. 



40. Triomphe de Gand — This noble old one I thought was out of 

 existence, but got it true this spring. The only foreign one that I deem 

 worth growing. It is A ISTo. 1. 



41. Robison — Promises well, have but few plants to- test. 



42. Columbus — This was fired over before the mulch was cleaned 

 off, and nearly ruined. The fine plants escaping did not disappoint 

 me; consider it valuable ; quality of the best, large size and one of the 

 best shippers. 



43. Gen. Putnam — This shared the same fate of Columbus, and 

 failed to show the grand crop that I had reason to expect from past 

 experience. 



This fire occurred in my absence. 



44. Gandy — This splendid, excellent one does not bear enough ; 

 while it is not as late as some others, equally as good and large, that
