GOOSEBERRIES. 

 American Seedling and Houghton's Seedling. American Seedling best bush. Hough- 

 ton best and largest berry. 



RASPBERRIES. 



American Black, Doolittle, Miami, Purple Cane — most popular with us. 



BLACKBERRIES. 

 Kittatinny the only one that has proved hardy with me. It has stood two winters 

 without any appearance of being injured. Have the Missouri Mammoth on trial. 



STRAWBERRIES. 



Green Prolific, Hovey's Seedling and Wilson's Albany give satisfaction, especially the 

 latter. 



The season has been very disastrous to apples and pears. Many of our trees bloomed 

 very full, but after settiDg fruit all fell off. Did not appear to have vitality enough to 

 mature the fruit ; frost did not injure it. Small fruits, moderate crop. 



Owing to the dry weather, from the middle of June to the first of September, our 

 young trees made a very small growth. Have never seen the Early May Cherry show 

 so many fruit buds.
