crimson color. The flesh is juicy and of a very rich aromatic flavor. The berries do 

 not color well on tips or under side, and are often irregular in form. Valuable for the 

 high quality of the fruit. 



Phoenix. — Received from Slaymaker & Son, Dover, Delaware. Perfect flower. The 

 plants are of medium growth, some much stronger than others. Berries medium in 

 size, round conical form and dark scarlet color. Many fruits formed that did not 

 develop. The variety seems to possess no points of special merit. 



Pondcrosa. — From C. W. Graham. Perfect flower. Plants of good growth and 

 excellent in foliage. Berries of large size, round or broad conical form, often some- 

 what ridged; color a very dark, rich crimson. Flesh dark, juicy, of very good quality 

 and firm. The variety is valuable for the size, color, quality and firmness of the fruit, 

 and the plants are productive, but not of strongest growth. 



Pride of Ohio. — Received plants from W. H. Earhart, Lexington, Ohio. Perfect 

 flower. Plants of very strong growth and excellent in foliage. Berries of medium 

 size, round conical or often irregular in form and of an attractive bright scarlet color. 

 The flesh is dark, rich, juicy, of hi^gh quality and firm. Many blossoms failed to set 

 and develop fruits, and the early promise of a large crop was not fulfilled. Excellent 

 in quality and appearance of fruit.

 Plants very strong in growth and have a healthy, dark green foliage. Berries large, 

 round or broad conical form and a very dark, rich crimson color. The flesh is dark, 

 rich, juicy, and of very good quality and firm. The excellent plant qualities of this 

 variety, its productiveness, and the fine form, handsome appearance and high quality 

 of the fruit make this one of the most promising of the new sorts tried this year.

 strong growth and healthy foliage. Berries medium in size, form long conical with 

 neck: color a dull, dark crimson. The flesh is a bright red, somewhat mealy but of good

 ings.

 strong growth and excellent in foliage. Berries medium to large in size; pointed, long 

 conical in form, and bright, dark scarlet in color. The flesh is bright, juicy and of 

 good quality. The variety is one of the best in plant growth and productive: the 

 berries are usually of fair size, good in form and color and will sell well in market, 

 though most of the fruits have a hard core.

 but the berries are larger, of better form and more attractive in color than No. 2.
