From the table it will be seen that Souhegan, Tyler, and Doolittle still 

 stand at the head of the list of the early black caps; Hopkins follows in a 

 few days. Of the later kinds Grregg and Nemaha are among the best. 

 Centennial, Kellogg, and Mammoth Cluster are smaller berries, but the 

 plants are hardy and productive; Ohio is particularly valuable for evapor- 

 ating and will grow in many localities where other kinds fail. Shaffer is 

 a strong grower, very prolific, and the large, showy fruits are excellent for 

 preserving. The color is not particularly attractive, and the flavor is 

 peculiar; a demand for it can soon be secured, and it should be very 

 largely planted. For home use a few plants of Caroline will be useful.
