EXFERI 2i7 



Beder Wood. Has long been recognized as a valuable fertilizer for 



The berries are light colored and rather soft. 



Bi M ■' [f good in plant growth and fairly productive. The fruits are 

 of fine a;, xl quality and firm. Too many of the berriej I 



below I ./• make the variety a profitable one for the market grower. 



Brandyttrine The berries are large, of good form, pleasing appearai 

 and high in quality. The season is quite late, it holds out for a long time 

 and the last fruits are larg 



Brunette. Because of its fine appearance and high quality well deserves 

 a trial in every garden. The berries are of good size and quite firm. The 

 plant is a good grower. 



Bubach Is a well known sort and one that is largely grown. It is not 

 so productive as Crescent or Warfield but the berries are considerably 

 larger and it is a valuable variety on strong soils. 



Charlie. —The plants were much stronger in hills than in matted row 

 and the fruits larger. It is of guod growth, berries of good quality and 

 fairly firm. On rich soil, with high culture and grown in hills, this sort 

 would doubtless pro fitable as a market berry. 



Clyde Last season this was our most productive variety. This spring 

 the plants blossomed very full but the variety does not root deeply and the 

 plants could not mature the lar^e crop of fruit that set. The foliage dried 

 up and many plants were entirely killed. Usually a very profitable variety 

 though the berries are rather light in color and not so firm in flesh as 

 desirable. 



Crescent. — Is still very largely planted. The berries are not large, the 

 quality is poor and its appearance is not attractive, but it is one of the 

 most productive sorts grown under usual conditions of treatment. It 

 would seem that some of the larger fruiting sorts that are better in quality 

 and appearance could profitably take its place. 



Eureka. — This variety is a strong grower and productive. The berries 

 are large but are not of very high quality and but moderately firm. The 

 season of ripening is a long one and the berries are uniformly large. It is 

 well worthy a place as a late berry. 



Qandy. — This variety has been largely planted as a late market berry. 

 The fruits are large but not enough of them are borne. 



Greenville and Weston. — Are excellent in plant growth and fairly pro- 

 ductive of good sized fruits. In quality and firmness the berries are 

 medium. Both sorts are attractive in appearance and well worthy of trial 

 for market. 



Haverland. — This variety, though scarcely so productive as Warfield, 

 has fruits that are much better in quality and larger in size than that sort. 

 Taking productiveness, size and quality together, no variety ranks much 

 higher than Haverland for home use or local mark 



Leroy. — This variety has been grown here since 1893. The plants have 

 been strong and healthy in growth and uniformly productive of large crops 

 of berries. The fruits are large, fine color, regular in form, of high quality 

 and firm. It should be given a trial as a market sort. 



Marshall — The berries are large and uniform in size, of good quality 

 and firm. The plants are of medium growth and somewhat subject to 

 rust. Many report this variety as one of the best for large sized fruits and 

 for productiveness. It has not shown any remarkable qualities in plant or 

 fruit here, but is a sort that should be tried by anyone in search of a
