Marlboro— Description as given by the originator: "It is the largest grower, with 

 stronger canes and side arms than any known variety. It is hardy in the fullest 

 sense. The great size of its dark green foliage is the means of its early, regular 

 and late bearing, and extraordinary size of fruit, which is one-quarter larger 

 than the old Hudson River Antwerp In color a bright crimson, and unlike 

 others, does not lose its brilliancy when over ripe. In quantity of fruit it ex- 

 ceeds any variety we have ever handled. It is of good quality." Price, $1.00 

 per dozen; $6.00 per 100. See cut.

 able and will prevent its becoming a popular market fruit. Much esteemed in 

 some localities. Season medium to late.
