230 Bush-Fruits 



Pomologist in 1892, from G. P. Peffer, Pewaukee, Wisconsin, and 

 mentioned in the report of that year. Said to be nearly thornless, 

 as hardy as Snyder, earlier and better. 



Wachusett. Found growing wild on Monadnock Mountain, in 

 Massachusetts. A shy bearer of little practical value, but of his- 

 torical interest. 



Wallace. Introduced by Wallace of Wayne Co., Indiana, about 

 1862. Stocky, upright, with broad round leaves resembling Snyder; 

 hardy, vigorous and productive. Fruit large and of excellent quality. 

 A valuable mid-season variety. 



Wapsie. An Iowa variety, mentioned as on trial and proving 

 very hardy thus far. Kept. Ohio Hort. Soc. 1888 : 192. 



Ward. Largely grown in New Jersey, where it was found growing 

 wild. Thought to be a seedling of Kittatinny, which it much re- 

 sembles. Plant hardy, vigorous, productive and much more rust- 

 resistant than its parent. Fruit large, black throughout, without 

 a hard core, sweet and of excellent quality. 



Warren. Fairly hardy and quite productive. Berry about like 

 Snyder in quality and size. 



Washington. Raised by Prof. C. G. Page, Washington, D. C. 

 Fruit large, black, sweet and good. Downing. Mentioned as new 

 in Hovey's Magazine, in 1859. 



Washington Belle. Sent out from the state of Washington with 

 the Skagit Chief. Both varieties appear to have the imperfect 

 blossoms so common in the western dewberry. 



Watt. -Found growing in an orchard near Lawrence, Kansas, some 

 years ago. A strong grower, productive, hardy and resistant to 

 disease. Begins ripening early and extends late into the season. 

 Fruit large, roundish, glossy black and of good quality. 



Western Triumph. Found upon the open prairie, in Lake county, 

 Illinois, in 1858, by Mr. Biddle, of Muskegon. Fruit of medium 

 size. Lacking in hardiness, and inclined to overbear. 



Weston. Originated with Adrian Durkes, of Weston, Mo., who 

 considered it more productive than Newman or Lawton. 



White Dewberry (D). 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.
