Haverland still sustains its previous standing as one of the most desira- 

 ble varieties for the market plantation. It must, however, be cross- 

 fertilized. 



Henderson, although lacking hardiness and productiveness, is so superior 

 in quality that it commends itself to the home planter, who aims to secure 

 flavor rather than mere quantity. 



Manchester is 'large, productive, and beautiful, but it generally so 

 exhausts itself in producing its first crop, that it is found more profitable 

 to plow under the plants after taking off one crop. 



Moore is a comparatively recent variety, originating in Michigan. It is 

 much like Jessie in both plant and fruit, and has this year quite exceeded 

 it in productiveness. It is a good fertilizer for such pistillates as bloom 

 in season with it. 



Mrs. Cleveland is one of Geo. "W. Townsend's numerous seedlings, of 

 Ohio. Its vigor, productiveness and bright color render it attractive. It 

 promises well as a market variety. 



Mount Vernon is an old and reliable variety. It is one of the most 

 productive and desirable of the late varieties, and supplies an abundance 

 of pollen, which renders it a good fertilizer for late blooming pistillates. 



Parker Earle. This season, as was true of the previous one, this has 

 yielded a greater weight of fruit than any other variety in the collection; 

 although two or three others have approached it quite nearly. It may 

 well stand at the head of the list, whether planted for home use, or for 

 the market. 



Parry is among the best of the large berries so far as quality is con- 

 cerned; though a lack of vigor and productiveness place it in the amateur 

 instead of the market list.
