yielding varieties grown and usually it carries out all its berries to 

 a good size. Pronounced ''Bubaw." 



Clark (S). (Clark's Seedling; Clark's Early; Early Idaho; Hood 

 River.) — Originated by Fred E. Clark in Mt. Tabor District, 

 near Portland, Oregon, from hand-sown seeds; supposed to be a 

 seedling of Wilson; introduced about 1880. Plant erect; runners 

 moderate; fruit-stems long, stout, erect; berry medium, round- 

 conic, dark crimson; seeds bright yellow, protruding; flesh dark 

 red, very firm ; core solid ; flavor subacid ; quality good. Midsea- 

 son. Grown almost to the exclusion of other sorts in the Hood 

 River Valley, Oregon, and valued in other parts of the Pacific 

 Northwest; fails in the East. As grown in the Northwest it has 

 remarkable shipping qualities. It requires more moisture than 

 many varieties and is a light bearer. A good canning sort. 



Crescent (P). (Boynton; Park Beauty.) — Originated in 1870 

 by Wm. Parmalee, New Haven, Connecticut, as a chance seedling ; 

 introduced in 1876. Plant tall, with smooth, slender leaf-stalks 

 and small medium green leaflets; runners very numerous; fruit- 

 stalks fairly erect, well branched ; berry medium or below, round- 

 conic, usually with a depression in the apex, bright scarlet ; calyx 

 medium, recurved, easily detached; seeds medium, even with the 

 surface or slightly protruding; flesh light red, medium firm; core 

 pink, solid; flavor acid; quality fair. Medium early. Crescent 

 Improved does not differ materially from the type. 



The Crescent has been grown more than any other variety except 

 the Wilson. Between 1875 and 1890 it dominated all markets; 

 in the nineties it was superseded in most places by Warfield. The 

 most valuable points of Crescent are productiveness, even on poor 

 land, and great vigor ; it is deficient in color, firmness and quahty 

 and rusts badly. The early blossoms produce enough pollen to 

 fertihze themselves and bear lightly without any polHnizer. If 

 neglected, the runners soon take possession of the entire field and 

 the berries become very small. 



Dunlap (S). (Senator Dunlap; Senator.) — Originated in 1890 

 by J. R. Reasoner, Urbana, Illinois, parentage uncertain, but Cum- 

 berland Triumph, Crescent, Windsor and Sucker State were used 

 in the crosses ; introduced in 1900. Plant rather small but vigorous, 

 semi-spreading; leaf -stalks long, slender, with dark green leaflets 

 of medium size; runners numerous; fruit-stalks long, medium 

 stout, usually unbranched ; blossoms in midseason ; berry mediimi
