Hyslop and Lady Elgin Crabs. The number of varieties tried and 

 found wanting would form a much longer list.

 Belle, Nickerson, and Vermont Beauty are suggested. Pears have 

 not as yet been grown to any extent.

 Of these, Moore Arctic is by far the most valuable, though not of 

 high quality.

 berry lead. 



Many other varieties, both of orchard fruits and of small fruits

The above named varieties are the ones most commonly grown 

 at the present time. It is believed that many of these varieties 

 (especially of the small fruits) will soon be superseded by some 

 of the newer introductions, even as the Hovey strawberry, Knevett 

 raspberry, and Dorchester blackberry have given place respectively 

 to the Crescent, the Cuthbert and the Agawam.
