to medium, round, very dark, rather firm, good. Berries uneven in size. Of 

 no superior merit. 



Sharpless. — Medium to high; foliage strong; trusses strong; berry very 

 large, usually "coxcombed," dark, firm, good, productive, tending to color 

 unevenly. One of the best market berries. 



Sunapee. — Medium; foliage heavy, glossy, dark; trusses moderately strong; 

 berry medium, short-conic, good in color, soft, sour. Indifferent. 



Viclc. — Medium; foliage exceedingly dark, thick and glossy; trusses erect; 

 berry medium to small, round or round-ovate, good in color, "seedy," fair 

 in quality. Berries too small. We shall discontinue its cultivation. 



Vinelcmd. — High; foliage abundant; trusses very long and erect; berry 

 medium to large, round, very light-colored, rather soft, poor, moderately 

 productive, late. Comes in with the Kentucky which it closely resembles, 

 only that it lacks the point of that berry. Of no prominence. 



Wilson. — The Wilson has apparently " run out" with us. It sets many 

 berries but they remain very small. 



Woodruff No. 1. — Medium to low ; foliage good, dark ; trusses weak, the 

 peduncles long; berry medium, conic with a very long point, dark, firm, fair 

 in quality, the pips large and much sunken, not very prolific. Fruit has a 

 hard core, and tends to become. irregular in shape. Of no unusual merit. 



Group 2. — Flowers pistillate. 



Champion {Windsor Chief). — Medium; foliage good; trusses short, strong; 

 berry medium, nearly spherical, very bright rich red, rather firm, sour, pro- 

 ductive. The berries are not even in size and color. Color unusually good. 

 An excellent market sort. 



Crescent. — The most productive berry we grow, and therefore desirable for 

 market. Otherwise it is a poor berry. 



Daniel Boone. — Medium to high; foliage good; trusses rather weak; berry 

 large, conic, often somewhat necked, very dark, rather soft, good, productive. 

 A promising sort for near markets. 



Green's Prolific. — Medium; foliage large, dark; trusses strong; berry 

 medium, round, light-colored, soft, poor. Superseded by better sorts. 



Hovey. — Medium to low; foliage dark; trusses weak; berry medium, conic, 

 dark, rather soft, sweet and good. The first of the great American berries, 

 interesting at the present day from its history. Our stock is from the orig- 

 inator, the late C. M. Hovey, Cambridge, Mass. Still a good berry. 



Huddleston. — Medium to high; trusses not stout; berry medium, short- 

 ovate, light in color, soft, fair to poor. Ripe June 10. Unpromising. Not 

 sufficiently tested. 



Jersey Queen. — Medium to low; foliage good; trusses weak; berry medium 

 to large, very broad, light in color, rather firm, fair in quality. Of no 

 prominence. 



Jewell. — Low to medium; foliage pretty good, dark; trusses very low; 

 berry medium, very short conic, poor in color, rather soft, moderately pro- 

 ductive. Does not promise well. The fruit is borne very low. Stock from 

 P. M. Augur. 



Matichester. — Medium to low; trusses very low; berry medium to large, 

 very short-conic with a blunt, flattened point, light but very even in color; 

 firm; good. An excellent market berry, very uniform in size, shape and
