Marion's Favorite. Mentioned. Proc. N. J. Hort. Soc. 1900: 195. 



Marlboro. A popular variety originated by A. J. Caywood, 

 of Marlboro, N. Y., who described it as "A cross of the Highland 

 Hardy, and a seedling started from English Globe and the Hudson 

 River Antwerp thirty years ago. It is a larger grower, with stronger 

 canes than any known variety; hardy in the fullest sense; berries 

 averaging three-quarters of an inch in diameter, and when not re- 

 tarded by long, severe drought, many of them will average one inch. 

 It will remain four days on the bushes after ripe, and is then market- 

 able. It is bright crimson in color, and does not lose its brilliancy 

 when over-ripe." This is one of the best known and most generally 

 prized early market sorts. Hardy, vigorous, productive, and a 

 thoroughly good, all-round berry. The leading market variety in 

 some localities, especially along Lake Erie. 



Marldon. A seedling produced at the Geneva, N. Y., Experiment 

 Station by crossing Marlboro with Loudon. Plants were distributed 

 during the spring of 1908. The plants are described as of Marlboro 

 type but more vigorous and stockier, producing many suckers and 

 soon likely to become crowded. Hardy, productive and healthy. 

 Fruit large, retaining its size well as the season advances, but ripens 

 in a comparatively short time, about one week ahead of Cuthbert, 

 firm, dark red, of fair quality. 



Mary. Raised from seed by Professor William launders, of 

 London, Ont. Fruit light red, as large as Cuthbert. 



May Orange. Offered for sale by L. L. May & Co. 



Mendocino. A Pacific coast variety. Said to have originated 

 in Mendocino county, Cal. ; used by Luther Burbank, in the produc- 

 tion of some of his seedlings.

 Delaware county, N. Y., in 1880, by E. J. Brownell, who sent out
