SMALL FRUITS. 185 



Crescent, P. Too well known to need descrip- 

 tion. It has a place in all the large growers plan- 

 tations, and is a most excellent and very prolific 

 variety. Quality is only good. Its principal merit 

 is in its productiveness and shipping qualities. Is 

 fertilized by Jessie and Capt. Jack. 



Bubach No. 5, P. This is the largest of the 

 productive sorts, but as grown here is of poor qual-

 coxcomb shaped, light red, and a very strong 

 grower. Specimens grown here have measured 

 2^/2 inches in diameter. Is fertilized with Jessie 

 or Beder Wood. 



Haverland, P. This variety has the reputation 

 of standing drouth better than most of the others. 

 It is a strong grower, and roots very deeply, and is 

 free from rust which attacks many of the others in 

 the eastern states, but which at present has given 

 little trouble in the west. Early, productive, and 

 large to very large, ripens evenly, and is a good 

 shipper and market berry; blooms with the Beder 

 Wood, which will make a good fertilizer for it.

 nary language these are known as the red and the 

 black, though the color should be different. The.
