The Grape crop was one of the best the vineyards have ever pro- 

 duced, but not one of the new varieties were shown to be superior to 

 a few of the old standard sorts, the Worden, Campbell, Green 

 Mountain, Concord and Delaware still retaining their place as the 

 most valuable for Massachusetts. 



Of the Blackberries the Agawam, Sn3'der, Taylor and Eldorado 

 still retain their place among the old kinds, with Mersereau, and 

 Rathbun as decidedly promising. 



The Raspberries that stand at the head are the Cuthbert, King, 

 Curtland, and London for a heavy soil. 



Of the Currants the varieties stand as follows. Red Cross, 

 Wilder, Fays, Cherry and Pomona. 



Of the Straivberries* fruiting the first time the following is the
