Bubach. Quality very good. Keep the plants well 

 apart for best results. 



SALEM. This is a berry originating at Beverly, 

 Mass., and highly recommended by Benj. M. Smith, 

 who is good authority. Plant vigorous ; berry very 

 large ; color dark, like Beverly and Marshall ; sweet, 



solid flesh ; season early to late. I have seen no berry 

 of recent introduction more promising than this. See 

 colored Plate II. 



SEAFORD. The plant is healthy atid a good grower and pro- 

 ductive ; size of Bubach, and is an early ripener of marketable 

 fruit ; color deep rich red outside, and is equally good ; calyx 

 green, and looks well in basket. Popular in Delaware, where 

 they want an early shipping berry. 



FOUNTAIN. A large firm and beautiful dark berry, 

 of the Haverland shape ; rather tart ; plant a healthy 

 and good grower and productive. 



McKiNLEY. Berry large roundish, conical, with 

 pointed tips, of the Haverland type ; color crimson ; 

 flesh firm, quality good ; plant a strong healthy 

 grower ; worthy of trial.
