CatawissaI 



A native of Columbia Co., Penn. Vigorous and very productive. 

 This is especially vahied in some localities as an autumn or late-bearing 

 variety. In order to obtain the best crops, the canes should all be cut 

 away in spring, and as the new sprouts grow they should be thinned to 

 foiir to six canes oidy. It is a little tender, and should always be 

 covered in winter. 



Fi'uit medium size, flattened, dark crimson, covered with thick bloom. 

 Flavor sprightly, rather acid, more suited to the amateur than for gen- 

 eral cidtivation. Commences ripening about the fii*st of August, and 

 continues in use a long time. 



Clarke. 



Raised by E. E. Clarke, New Haven, Conn. Canes very strong, vigo- 

 rous, upright. Spines pvirplish, rather long and stitf. Foliage large, 

 flat, and thick, and endures heat and cold better than any European 

 kind we have. It is not entirely hardy, but more so than any foreign 

 sort, and produces better crops by being covered. It is better suited to 

 light sandy soils than any of its class.

 crimson. Flesh rather soft, juicy, sweet, and excellent.
