ably, and if it behaves in other places as it does on our own grounds 

 it must crowd out the Shaffer. It is rather more vigorous in growth 

 than the Shaffer, has a longer season, and^the berry is more conical 

 and firmer, with more uniform drupelets.

There are really only two important varieties in the evaporating 

 industry in western l^ew York, the Ohio and the Gregg. The 

 Ohio is valuable because it is easily grown and the berries are firm 

 and "seedy "and therefore dry easily. It is still the dominant 

 berry in northern Wayne county, but it is gradually losing ground 

 in the southern part of the county and in Yates county. It seems 

 to be running out, largely, perhaps, because the stock is coming to 

 be diseased with the yellows or red rust ; and it is possible that land 

 may enjoy a rotation even amongst varieties of the same species.
