62 HIGGLE BERRY BOOK. 



In the following lists please observe that the stami- 

 nates, or perfect flowering, are printed in large type ; 

 and the pistillates, or imperfect, are in small type. 



BUBACH. The foliage of the Bubach is of medium greeu 

 color, the plant vigorous aud healthy, productive of very large, 

 roundish, conical berries ; many of them obtuse conical. Color 

 dull scarlet ; flesh pink. It has been before the public for several 

 years, maintaining a high reputation in nearly every part of the 

 country. An abundance of manure will cause it to run to vines. 

 It does well in rather poor soil, where no other kind will flour- 

 ish. It is rather soft for shipment to a distant market, but for 

 nearby market it is among the very best. Cumberland is a good 

 variety to fertilize it with. Bubach is undoubtedly one of the 

 most valuable and popular varieties ever used. See Plate VIII. 



HAVERLAND. The plant is thrifty, of medium green foliage. 

 Sets plants freely, but not too much so. Productive of long, 

 conical berries, of scarlet color, with some neck. Yellow seeds ; 

 pink flesh, of not very high flavor. Under favorable conditions 

 it is enormously productive of very attractive, salable berries, 

 which ripen all over. They grow on long stems, which lie on 

 the ground, and if rains come at ripening, followed by hot sun, 

 are liable to rot. It is hard to say too much for the Haverlaud 

 as a market berry ; it gives us berries moderately early, and 

 holds out well until the last. The L,ovett is a good variety to 

 fertilize it, but it has some pollen of its own, and some seasons 

 will nearly fertilize itself. See colored Plate IV. 



CLYDE. A very productive and valuable variety. 

 The plant is clean, healthy and vigorous and very 

 prolific ; forms several crowns and numerous runners. 

 Foliage light green and healthy, berries large to very 

 large, and of light scarlet color and of roundish, coni- 

 cal, regular shape ; quality fair, season medium ; must 

 not be allowed to mat too thickly ; a good pollenizer. 

 A good shipper, though not the best. It is a good 

 drought resister, and Hale describes it as " a money 

 catcher, debt destroyer, basket filler and family pro-
