bold of everything in its reach, and that makes hard worli, but it is a 

 magnificent berry, and one that will not disappoint you. In Albion 

 market it is a good one, and I have not been able to supply the demand 

 for canning purposes. I can sell them at the highest price, and they 

 gi'OTv on all soils. 



The Brahdywine is another berry that I have had good success with, 

 and still have it. They bring about the same price that the Warfield 

 does in the canning season. They are red all the way through, a fine 

 canning berry, and has an aroma that is peculiar to itself. It is fine. 



There is another berry that I like very much, the Sample. It is one 

 of the best berries in the country. I am speaking, too, of berries for 

 market as well as for the home. It is a late berry and you get berries 

 late. 



The Clyde is fully equal to the Haverland in production. This is a 

 berry that will ripen very nearly as soon as the Haverland, and will 

 continue late, and will grow big berries all the time. They never are 

 nubbins. They start out big and continue to be big. It is hard to find 

 a berry that is better than the Clyde. 



Lovett's Early is very nice and ripens about the same time as the 

 Haverland, and I would recommend it to go with the Haverland. It is 

 now called the Lovett. 



The Gandy is a late berry which I admire greatly. I have tried the 

 Marshall. I do not know whether I have ever been duped by the 

 nurserymen or not, but if I have ever had a Mai-shall I never want 

 another one. The Gandy is one of the gi-eatest late berries I know of, 

 and for me it has succeeded admirably on all kinds of soils that I have 

 tried. I have a sandy clay soil, but I tried it on a black soil and it 

 succeeded fine. While it is not as productive as some berries, yet it 

 produces a good crop. 



Now there are a great many others that I have tried, and I think a 

 great deal of some of them, but I am giving the varieties that are best 

 adapted for market purposes as well as for the home. There are quite 

 a number that I have not given, but I have mentioned the most pro- 

 ductive berries. 



Now, so far as soil is concerned, I will say in regard to that. The 

 Brandywine with me hasn't done as well on clay soil as some other 

 berries. It produces too many nubbins. On other soils I have had good, 

 large, fine berries, and quite a number of them. The other berries that 

 I have mentioned, have, so far as my experience has gone, succeeded 

 almost universally on the different soils, and I have seen but little differ- 

 ence in their production. 



Mr. Kimball: During the last seven years our organization has had 

 this subject up a great number of times, and I have always noticed that 

 when we get through there have been so many varieties discussed. The 

 grower who wishes to plant a small patch for his own use is more at
