SMALLEY. Fig. 289. This 

 variety seems to be described 

 only by the American Cranberry 

 Exchange. The fruits are round 

 or bell-shaped; ready for ship- 

 ment about October 15. The 

 quantity grown is said to be 

 small, and is sold under the 

 Chipmunk brand, in which the 

 berries are of medium red color 

 and medium to large size; and 

 the Pocahontas brand, the ber- 

 ries of which are well colored 

 and of average size. 



WALES HENRY. Fig. 290. This variety 

 is described as a most promising cranberry, 

 now grown on only a f ew bogs in Massachu- 

 setts. Productiveness of vines, and berries 

 that may be easily cleaned, keep and ship 

 exceptionally well, and of excellent flavor, are 

 the qualities that recommend Wales Henry. 

 The variety originated with W. A. Andrews, 

 North Carver, Massachusetts, about 1885. 



Vines rather coarse, with many uprights and few 

 runners ; very productive, bearing 60 bbls. to the acre ; 

 well adapted to scoop-picking. Leaves dark green.
