Shaffer's Colossal. Very large, purple, good. Season medium 

 to late. A rank grower, and very prolific. Owing to its unat- 

 tractive color, it is not popular in the market, but good for home 

 use, and one of the best for canning. 



Souhegan. Charles Downing said of it, "I am much pleased 

 with the Souhegan, it being quite early, of large size, very pro- 

 ductive, quite firm, of a deep black color, sweet flavor, and a 

 very promising variety for market." Plant vigorous and hardy. 

 Originated with a Mr. Carleton, of Mont Vernon, N. H.
