DESCRIPTIVE NOTES ON POPULAR VARIETIES lOI 



The only drawback to the variety is on account of color and 

 perhaps firmness. It deserves a trial. 



Crescent (pistillate). — An old standard variety still planted 

 extensively. Berry small, bright scarlet, moderately firm, fair 

 quality ; form, conical. Ripened first on June 32d and ex- 

 tended over a long season. Productive. 



Greenville (pistillate). — A popular variety in this state. 

 Berry large, dark red, medium firm, fair quality; form, broad 

 conical. Medium leaf, loosely matted row, little blight, season 

 second early. 



Haverland (pistillate). — An old variety still commonly 

 grown, but discarded by many on account of softness. Good 

 for a market near at hand. Plants were medium size and 

 formed a loosely matted row ; leaf medium, dark green, with 

 long stems ; berry, large, long conical. It was productive and 

 healthy during the past season. 



Lovett (perfect flower) . — A variety grown by most growers 

 and valuable as a fertilizer of such varieties as Crescent and 

 Haverland. Berry large, firm, good quality; form, long coni- 

 cal ; color, bright red. Plants strong, healthy, and productive. 

 Runners comparatively few during the past season, leaf medium, 

 very little blight. 



Marshall (perfect). — From a two years test this variety has 

 shown itself to be hardy, vigorous, and fairly productive. 

 Berry, large to very large, medium firmness, high quality ; 

 form, rather irregular; color, deep red. A very desirable 

 amateur variety. It lacks in texture and productiveness, 

 causing many to discard it. For a fancy trade it is well worthy 

 of consideration. 



Parker Earle (perfect). — The berry was small and not up 

 to its reputation this season ; probably our ground was not rich 

 enough. It is generally conceded to be a very valuable late 

 variety when given high culture and plenty of moisture. 



Warjield (pistillate). — A popular variety in the state. Has 

 a compai-atively long fruiting season, makes numerous runners 

 which need thinning, and requires plenty of moisture to get 

 best results. Berry medium to large, firm, good quality ; form, 

 conical ; color, crimson. Generally liked.
