it is not likely that the last three had been thoroughly tested. All of them 

 are probably valuable sorts, if we can judge from their behavior elsewhere. 

 For notes upon other new sorts of raspberry and strawberry, the reader 

 is referred to Bulletins 104 and 106.

Abbreviations.— Size— I, large; s, small; m, medium. Sex— B, bisexual; P, pistillate; P B, nearly pestil-

In the above lists, the data regarding the size, shape, color, season, and 

 quality of the different varieties, etc., have been taken from the last report 

 of the American Pomological society, and the starring will be used in 

 making up the Michigan Fruit List for the next volume, soon to be 

 issued. 



In the preparation of this catalogue, great assistance has been afforded 

 me by the many persons who filled out and returned the circulars that 

 were sent out. In most cases it was done so thoroughly and in such an 

 intelligent manner that the returns were incorporated into this bulletin 

 with a very few slight changes. 



To all persons who aided in the preparation of this fruit list, the thanks 

 of the collator are extended, for the help that was rendered and the many 

 useful suggestions that were made. 



While it is undoubtedly faulty in many particulars, it is sent out with 

 the hope that it will be of value to prospective planters of fruit trees and 

 plants.
