Spraying was carefully followed up for the destruction of the 

 authracQOse or spot disease of the canes which has been so injurious 

 several seasons and most of the varieties were entirely free from it. 

 The Cromwell which was so promising before this disease appeared 

 has regained something of its original vigor and possibly, by careful 

 treatment, may prove as valuable here as it is reported to be in some 

 other localities. 



The following varieties showing the greatest value we give in the 

 order of their time of ripening : Souhegan, Lovett, Kansas, Hil- 

 born and Ohio. 



The Columbian is a Purple cap, resembling the Schaffer in color 

 and growth, more firm and sweet, but not so good in quality. If it 

 proves more hardy than the latter it will be valuable for home use 

 and canning, but is of too dark color to sell well.
