1388 THE FRUIT INDUSTRY IN NEW YORK STATE 



a berry of at least fairly good size up to those of largest size. 

 Cherry, Fay, and Red Cross are among the most popular of the 

 medium early and midseason varieties, and Wilder follows closely 

 as a later midseason variety. Perfection is grown commercially, 

 the fruit being most attractive in appearance, though the bushes 

 might well be taller. Filler is grown considerably in the Hudson 

 valley. Of all varieties the Wilder is doubtless found planted 

 throughout the state more extensively than any other variety.
