descriptions of varieties. 

 Cloud* — The Cloud is pistillate and requires another variety near 

 it to fertilize its blossoms. It is an early berry, of good size, produc- 

 tive, good color, good form and firm, and ripens evenl}' on all sides at 

 once. As compared with the Crescent and Wilson, it is earlier, 

 larger, better in quality than Wilson, and more productive than 

 either. — Abridged from Green's Catalogue. 



Haverland* — A new variety of great promise. It is of the Cres- 

 cent class, exceedingly productive, vigorous plant, pale green, large 

 leaves, makes plants fast but not as fast as Crescent. The fruit is 

 elongated and quite large and firmer than Crescent. For home use 

 and a near market it is highly endorsed. — Abridged from Green's 

 Catalogue. 



Raspberries — Red — Cuthbert, Turner ; Yelloiv — Golden Queen : 

 Black — Gregg. Ada and Carmen are recommended for trial.

 cultivation upon our best native varieties, selected for quality will 

 give us something hardy and of good quality.

 — White Grape ; Black — Lee's Prolific.

 and arrange them in the order of earliness ; those printed in italics
