 where large fruit is not necessary, verj'- desirable. 



73. Freedom (Henderson). Similar in many respects to No. 72, 

 but are red in color and a little larger. ^Vere very promising in 

 1898, but not so in 1899. 



74. G. A. R. (Gregory). Strong, large plants. Fruit light red 

 in color, mostly smooth and of fine appearance. The accompany-
