Marvin. — Large^ elongated^ somewhat beyond what is 

 usually termed conical ; bright crimson ; flesh firm, but 

 juicy, rich, and high-flavored ; plant yigorous, stocky, 

 and productive. A very promising new variety. Origi- 

 nated with Mr. Henry Marvin, Ovid, Mich. 



xlliner's Great Prolific— Large to very large; some- 

 what irregular, but inclining to a globular form ; deep 

 crimson ; flesh pinkish, firm, and of good flavor ; plant 

 vigorous, leaves large, light green, quite glossy. A pro- 

 ductive and valuable variety, although the irregular form 

 of the berries is somewhat against it for marketing. 

 Originated with the late T. B. Miner, Linden, X. J. 



Monarch of tlie Wei^t. — Extra large ; globular, but 

 often coxcombed ; pale red ; flesh soft, excellent flavor ; 

 plant vigorous on good soils, but only moderately pro- 

 ductive. Valuable for its large size and good flavor. 

 Originated with Mr. Jesse Brady, of Piano, 111. 



Kicanor. — Medium to small ; conical ; scarlet ; flesh 

 with a reddish tinge throughout, firm, juicy, and of ex- 

 cellent flavor ; ripens early ; the plants in my grounds 

 have always been weak and unproductive. Still, I have 

 seen them in rather heavy clay soils quite vigorous and 

 carrying a heavy crop of fruit. Originated with Messrs. 

 Ellwanger & Barry, Eochester, Is". Y. 



Kew Dominion. — A new variety unknown to me, but 

 described by the disseminators of the plants as very large ; 

 globular ; bright glossy red ; flesh firm, and of good 

 flavor. Originated with Mr. 0. X. Biggar, on the battle- 

 field of Lundy's Lane. 



Neunan's Prolific— Large under high cultivation, but 

 ordinarily only medium or small ; obtuse-conical ; light 

 scarlet, with a short neck ; very firm, rather acid, but 

 good when fully mature ; plants strong, vigorous, and pro- 

 ductive. A very popular variety in the South, where it 

 is extensively cultivated for shipping to northern mark-
