 county, Pa. It was thought to have originated from seed found in 

 soil excavated at a depth of ten feet. The original plant was found 

 and transplanted by Daniel Supher, but was brought to notice by 

 A. T. Hobbs, of Randolph, Pa. 



Surprise. Found wild, and introduced to notice by Charles Hus- 

 mann, of Bluffton, Mo., about 1865. Large, more conical and

 Experiment Station. 



Townsend No. 2. Mentioned as on test at the Geneva (N. Y.)

Tyler. An accidental seedling, found growing among McCormick 

 and Seneca plants on the grounds of Nathan Tyler, of Auburn, N. Y. 

 Five hundred plants were sold to Robert Johnston, of Shortsville, 

 N. Y., who introduced it under the name Tyler. An excellent early 

 variety, of good size and quality, jet black, hardy and productive. 

 It resembles Souhegan very closely, although of entirely different 

 origin. It has been thought to withstand spring frosts better than 

 Souhegan. After the Doolittle passed the zenith of its popularity, 

 these two varieties long stood as the representative berries.

 Rio Vista, Va. Said to be large, jet black, round, conical, moderately 

 firm, of excellent quality, holding out well at the end of the season.
