The following are new sorts, fruiting here for the first time during the past 

 season: 



Arkansas Traveler.— Plants received from Columbian Grape Co., Kingston, Ohio. 

 Perfect flower. The variety seems lacking in vigor and in plant making qualities. 

 The berries are large in size, round or broad conical form and of a bright, dark 

 crimson color; quite attractive in appearance. The flesh is light, juicy, of fair 

 quality and moderately firm. The fruit truss is short and most of the berries lie on 

 the ground. Further trial may show the variety to be of more vigorous growth. 



Avery. — Received from Matthew Crawford, Cu.vahot>-a Fall^:. (.)hio. Imperfect 

 flower. Many of the plants failed to grow and those remaining are not strong. 

 The fruit is of medium size, long pointed or broadly conical in shape and of a 

 bright dark scarlet color. The flesh is dark, juicy, of high quality but not very 

 firm. The plant and fruit closely resemble Haverland. The variety bore a large 

 crop of fruit for the plant growth. 



Bismarck.— From C. N. Flansburgh. Leslie, Mich. Perfect flower. The plants 

 are of rather small, low growth. Berries very large, short, round conical form, 

 color, dark crimson. The flesh is dark, of fair quality and moderate firmness. The 

 plants did not form many blossoms but all the fruits were uniformly large. A 

 promising variety to grow under high culture for large fancy fruits. 



Bryant.— Plants from Birdseye & Son, Middle Hope, N. Y. Perfect flower. The 

 plants are of strong, healthy growth. Berries large in size, round or broad conical, 

 often irregular in shape, bright dark crimson color, handsome in appearance. The 

 flesh is dark, lacking in juice, rather poor in quality, but firm. The variety ranks 

 high in productiveness, and the attractive appearance of the fruit, together with its 

 firmness, should make it valuable as a market berry. 



Burnett— Received from Thompson's Sons, Rio Vista, Va. Perfect flower. The
