Sanford. A new variety mentioned as on trial at Geneva, 

 N. Y. Exp. Sta. Bull. 81: 585. 



Windom (Cook's Hardy), (Riibus villosus). This variety was 

 first brought to public notice in 1887 by the Seedling Commis- 

 sion of the Minnesota State Horticultural Society. It was dis- 

 covered and brought into cultivation by Dewain Cook, of that 

 state, who found it to be hardy, productive, of fair size, and 

 good flavor. 



VIII. THE SOUTHERN DEWBERRIES 

 Eubus trivialis 



Bauer. A variety sent out from Bauer's nursery, Judsonia, 

 Ark. It was said to be a vigorous grower, with fine fruit, but 

 apparently unproductive. 



Fairfax. Bailey refers this variety doubtfully to this group. 

 It was sent out by C. A. Uber, of Fairfax county, Virginia, who 

 found it wild on a stony, unproductive hillside in that county. 

 There the vine was vigorous but not rampant, and the berry large 

 and fine flavored, but when transferred to garden soil it developed 

 .excessive growth, with but few and imperfect berries, notwith- 

 standing its proximity to a number of varieties of blackberries, 

 which might have been expected to furnish sufficient pollen. 



Manatee. Introduced by Reasoner Brothers, Oneco, Fla., in 

 1889. They report it to be only a selected strain of Rubus trivi- 

 alis, but say that it succeeds much better in that state than any 

 other variety, having proved very productive, ripening its fruit in 

 April, and being a good shipper. It is also reported as succeeding 

 in California. 



White Deicberry. White dewberries appear to be well known 

 in Texas. One is mentioned in the Gardener's Monthly for 1877, 

 p. 174, as being known among the horticulturists of that state. 

 What is very likely the same thing was received from Colorado 

 county, of that state, and introduced by Samuel Wilson, of Penn- 

 sylvania, in 1890, under the name Mammoth White, or Wilson's 

 White. The natural inference is that the Albino White of Parry 

 and the Crystal White of Childs belong to the same type, and, 

 perhaps, have come from the same source, though I have no proof 

 of this. The variety introduced by Mr. Wilson is said by him to 

 be hardy in Pennsylvania, productive, of large size and excellent 

 quality.
