A chance seedling which originated on the farm of G. C. Brackett, Lawrence, Kansas, 

 prior to 1887. It is supposed to be a cross of a seedling and Gregg. Mr. Brackett sent it 

 out about 1890 as Brackett No. loi, later naming it Lotta. It was placed in the fruit list 

 of the American Pomological Society in 1897 and remained in the last list in 1909. Plants 

 vigorous, hardy and productive; fruit large, attractive bright black, firm, moderately 

 juicy, somewhat seedy; very good; midseason.

Lavett's Early. 3. Rurai N. Y. 50:558, fig. 203. 1891. 



Originated as a chance seedling with Ezra Wood, Jefferson County, Indiana, about 

 1875. J. T. Lovett, Little Silver, New Jersey, purchased the stock for one thousand 

 dollars and introduced it in 1891. As gro\vn at this Station it is a fairly good sort, 

 but not superior to standard varieties. Plants moderately vigorous, fairly hardy produc- 

 tive; canes slender; fruit large, attractive black, firm, moderately juicy, sweet; good; early. 



Lum Everbearing, i. Am. Pom. Soc. Rpt. 172. 1867.

 was first exhibited before the Ohio Horticultural Society. Described as similar to the Ohio 

 Everbearing. Plants stockier and not as tall as Doolittle; fruit large, black, sweet, resem- 

 bling Doolittle in size and quality at summer fruiting, but berries much larger in the autumn 

 crop. 



McConnick. i. .4)h. Pom. Soc. Rpt. 109. 1869. 



Mammoth Cluster. 2. Horticulturist 23:21 i. 1868. 



This old sort is supposed to have originated near Collinsville, Indiana, prior to 1867. 

 About 1867 A. M. Purdy, Palmyra, New York, began propagating it extensively imder 

 the name Mammoth Cluster. From that time its culture spread rapidly and it soon became 

 the leading blackcap, a position it held until the introduction of the Gregg. Its popularity 

 was due to its vigorous, healthy and productive plants. The fruit was considerably larger 

 than that of the sorts then cultivated. It was generally known as Mammoth Cluster, but 

 the American Pomological Society, recognizing the priority of the name McCormick, 

 placed it upon its fruit catalog list in 187 1 under that name, where it remained in 1909. 

 Plants vigorous, hardy, productive; canes strong with few prickles; fruit of medium size, 

 roundish, black, firm, juicy, rich; good; late midseason.
