Huntsman. — Fruit medium to large, oblong, smooth, pale

 slightly. 



Improved Early Hedgehog. — Fruit below medium, nearly 

 round, somewhat hairy, vellowish-green, sweet, fair quality. See 

 figure 28, plate XVI. Bush a vigorous grower and productive.

Industry. — The first plants of this variety which were grown 

 at this Station were received from Ellwanger & Barry, Rochester, 

 N. Y., in 1885. Other plantings were made in 1888 and 1892. In 

 some years when no treatment was given to prevent the mildew 

 it has suffered quite seriously from this disease. The bush, see 

 figures 3 and 4, plate XXIII, is a strong grower and one of the 

 most productive of the European varieties which w^e have tested. 

 Fruit medium to large, varies from pear shape to roundish 

 oblong, smooth or nearly so, dark red, mild sub-acid or sweet, 

 very good flavor. This is one of the best of the European varie- 

 ties to grow for marketing either green or ripe. Figure 1, plate 

 XXI, which is reproduced from a photograph shows a basket of 

 Industry near the center, set a little in front of the rest.
