This variety is remarkable for its healthy dark green foliage, being distinct 

 from all other varieties in color of leaf and general appearance of plant. The 

 berries are large, somewhat cocks-combed, rather soft and not extra in quality. 

 In productiveness the Bubach ranks a little below Crescent and Haverland, but 

 the berries are larger than of either of the kinds named. Many growers who 

 dispose of their crop in near markets place this variety at the head of the list

but experience with it at the Station shows that the berries are not uniformly 

 large, rendering sorting necessary. It must be classed with what are known as 

 " show berries," in which class it takes high rank. As regards its value as a 

 market berry, much depends upon the demands of the particular market for 

 which it is designed. Where extra fine berries command a price according to 

 the grade, the Bubach will prove one of the most profitable, but in less discrim- 

 inating markets it will fall considerably below Crescent and Haverland.
