s 



Early Mammoth. — One of the liardiest of the early kinds and usually quite jji'd- 

 ductive. The berries are of large size and quite good quality. 



Eldorado. — A hardy and productive variety, resembling Snyder in growth of plant. 

 The fruit is of medium size, firm texture, and good quality. One of the best of the 

 newer kinds. 



Erie. — A very large berry of fine appearance, but rather acid. The plants are 

 vigorous ;ind hardy, but not very productive. 



Fruitland. — One of the latest in time of ripening. The berries are of medium size 

 and fair quality. Of some value both for home use and market. 



Kittatinny. — A well known mid-season variety which has been widely grown 

 because of its vigor of plant and large, well flavored fruit. It has exhibited a fair 

 degree of hardiness here, and has usually been quite productive. lit some localities it 

 seems to be especially liable to tlie attack of red rust. 



Knox. — This variety is reported to lack productiveness, but it has borne 

 here. The plants are strong and upright in growth, and are quite hardy 

 large and of good quality. Ripens with Snyder. 



Lawton. — An old, well kno^\^l, hardy variety, vigorous and productive. The fruit 

 is large and of good quality. 



Lincoln. — A hardy variety which has usually done well here, but this season the 

 berries were rather small. It ranks high in productiveness and is of good quality. 



Lovett. — The plants are rather tender and the berries small and of onlj' fair 

 quality. 



Maxwell. — Plants lack vigor and productiveness, 

 texture, and rather low qualitj*. A failure here. 



Minnewaska. — A strong grower, quite productive 

 quality. A valuable kind for general planting.
