In the above list Hansell and Michigan Early are to be recommended 

 for early varieties. Hansell has not proved to be very productive with us. 

 As a medium-season berry Cuthbert stands at the head of the list, and is 

 the sort to be planted for the main crop. Turner is hardy and of best 

 quality, and is valuable for these properties. 



NEW VARIETIES. 



Gladstone. Plants from C. A. Green, Rochester, N. Y. Bushes strong- 

 growing, healthy. Fruit large, dark purple color, pubescent, excellent 

 quality, and firmer than Shaffer. Promises well. 



Royal Church, from Royal Church, Harrisville, Ohio. Bushes are 

 hardy, vigorous, and of loose, spreading growth. Fruit very large, round, 

 conical form, dark crimson color, and of a rich, aromatic flavor. The seeds 

 are very large and so loosely joined that the berry falls to pieces easily — a 

 serious fault. The bushes are as productive as any of the red sorts. 



DEWBERRIES. 



Lucretia. First fruits ripe July 19. The fruit is large and of excellent 

 quality. The»bushes are moderately productive. The vine requires train- 

 ing to a trellis to make the culture practicable. Dewberries are little 

 grown and if valuable at all would be so on account of earliness in ripen- 

 ing, quality of the fruit, and ease of protection in winter.
