1. Antwerp.) Heel. — ^This is an excellent variety, and 

 very popular in market ; three quarters of an acre of land 

 on the Hudson, planted with it, have yielded $330 ; and 

 three acres in the same locality, $1,500 in one season. 

 The berry is large, conical, dark red, rich and juicy; canes 

 have a few small, purple spines. 



2. Antwerp.) Yellow or White. — Fruit large, pale yel- 

 low, sweet and rich; a beautiful and excellent fruit, but 

 not so firm and so well adapted to marketing as the pre- 

 ceding; canes thickly covered with greenish spines. 



3. Fastolff. — Fruit larger and rounder than the Ped 

 Antwerp, but rather softer ; of a purplish red, canes more 

 spiny; very hardy and productive.
