tThe white variety of this species is occasionally brought from the neighboring 

 towns for sale, but in small quantities. A snuill tract of land in Berkley has borne 

 an annual crop of perhaps a quart of white hucklel)errics for numy years. A few 

 bushes bearing the ordinary black huckleberry are interspersed with the white variety. 

 The white variety has also been found in East Fairhaven.
