182 MISSOURI STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Mr. Holman. — I have a seedling, somewhat like Gregg, almost as- 

 large, hardy as any. It will follow the Hopkins and with that variety 

 will be all we want. The Gregg is not hardy enough. We call the 

 new kind the OzarJ;. It is a very strong grower. We have another 

 hardy berry that we call the Bronze Queen, on account of its peculiar 

 color. It is a strong grower. The canes are immense. It does not 

 sucker but roots firm the tips. It is like the black cap in growth of 

 wood, fruit quite sweet and very good, fruits well and is hardy. 



Mr. Taft. — I have been growing about fifty varieties of strawber- 

 ries, fifteen of raspberries. Of the older kinds of strawberries I like 

 Crescent, Cumberland and Capt. Jack. Among the new kinds Jewel, 

 Belmont and Prince, promise well. The Belmont had just a few ber- 

 ries, fair in quality. Jewel is a very strong grower, large, handsome 

 of fair quality, but does not make many new plants. 



Parry — Weak, I saved only four plants out of twelve, berry soft, 

 not good. 



Henderson — A strong grower, fairly productive, of excellent qual- 



ity. 



Prince — Strong, vigorous and promises to be very valuable. 



May King — Early^ much like Crescent. 



Among the red raspberries Turner is our stand-by. 



Marlboro is not productive. 



Shaffer's Colossal — Extremely productive, the best. 



Souhegan — Early, productive, rather sour. 



]Sremaha — Promising. 



Carmen — Promising well. 



Among blackberries the Early Cluster is hardy, so is the Agawam.
