to the centre and of rich spicy flavor. A great cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its 



fruit well up from the ground and generally succeeds everywhere.

quality similar to the Marshall. It blooms early and late, making it a good variety to pollenize 



the pistillate sorts.

delicious flavor. The plants are of strong healthy growth with large dark-green foliage.

Fruit highly colored, conical in shape and inclined to be long. 

 Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of handsome, glossy, dark 



crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It is one of the best midseason berries, either for private 



use or market. It is a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation. As it does 



not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively until its adaptability is ascertained.

conical form; dark red color, firm texture and of remarkably sweet flavor. In the market they 



sell at sight.
