ing for market was July 5th. Of the newer varieties I 

 think Haverland proved the best. Bubach is also good but 

 suffered more by wet weather. I should judge both would 

 be too soft for shipment by rail to Boston. 



Warfield except for the injury of the foliage would be 

 profitable to raise, though poor in quality, unless left a long 

 time upon the vine. Gaudy is a good berry but a shy 

 bearer, and it is very doubtful if it has a place outside of the 

 home garden. Beverly, of which I had a small bed in 

 another part of the field, is a very beautiful berry, larg-e 

 size, and it promises to be very popular. 



It is perhaps not out of place to say here that 1 shall 

 fruit the next season about eighteen varieties, most of which 

 are new. I will call attention to the fact that there is no 

 charge in the account for marketing, superintendence of 

 packing and interest on land.
