CLASS II. AMERICAN SPECIES AND VARIETIES, BLACK 



CAPS, ETC. 



American Black Cap (DOOLITTLE, JOSLTN'S BLACK 

 CAP, etc.). A hardy, native variety, improved by cultiva- 

 tion, very productive ; one of the best of its class for 

 profitable market growing, as it ripens early and carries 

 well. 



Davison's Thornless, A variety of the foregoing, but 

 free from spines and ripening some days earlier ; the fruit 

 is not quite as large as the American Black Cap, but is 

 sweeter ; moderately productive. 



Miami (MAMMOTH CLUSTER, McCoRMicK). Another 

 variety of the Black Cap, stronger in its growth, fewer 

 spines, and very productive; the fruit is also larger, 

 deeper color, more bloom, and ripens later. 



Ontario, A new variety of the Black Cap found near 

 Fairport, K Y., and introduced by E. E. Lord, of New- 

 ark, N. Y. Larger and a few days earlier than the com- 

 mon sort, and quite as good in quality, but has a thick 

 coating of white bloom, which injures it for market.
