 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 poUenize 

 the pistillate sorts.

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

 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 ascer- 

 tained.

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