Poscharsky Seedlings. From F. W. Poscliarslcy, Princeton, III.

 sorts. No. 15 ranks first in productiveness and in the amount of 

 fruit produced early. The fruit is medium to large, firm, some- 

 what seedy, sweet and of very good quality. Where very early 

 berries are desired this variety will be worthy of a trial.
