y ENHANCE. — It is a general purpose berry, and can be grown for a fancy or 



high priced market, for home use, for can- 

 ning, for pleasure or for profit. The plant is 

 a vigorous and healthy grower, with dark 

 green foliage ; it sets an abundance of well 

 proportioned runners which easily take 

 root. It is a beautiful grower ; its fljwer 

 is perfect. The quality is good, being 

 slightly acid, but not sour, f ts berries are 

 of the large size, and being very firm and 

 of a bright crimson color, makes them very 

 attractive and salable. Its firmness aids in 

 its keeping qualities both before and after 

 being picked. 



GOV. HOARD.— Large, firm and 

 good quality. A few more of them, how- 

 ever, would be desirable. It makes a great 

 show of bloom, but does not seem to per- 

 fect all of its fruit. This was my experi- 

 exhance. ence the past season. A reliable grower in 



Ohio, however, describes it as being very productive, quite early. Berries large, 

 roundish conical, slightly flattened and usually necked, flesh firm and of a rich 

 agreeable flavor and thinks it will disappoint no one. 



^ E. P. ROE. — From the Hudson River fruit region, where it has given very 

 satisfactory results. It is valuable for its lateness in 

 ripening, and for its fine quality. The plant is a 

 good strong grower and on good soil, productive. 

 Berries large with short neck, of rich crimson color. 

 and excellent flavor. We have heard some com- 

 plaint that E. P. Roe was a poor grower, etc. But it 

 has certainly done very well here, the plants as 

 grown here are quite bluff and vigorous and satis- 

 factory every way so far. 



•' SANDOVAL is from Illinois and might be 



called a perfect blossomed Warneld, it is very pro 



ductive. firm, and good color, medium size. 

 \ TIPPECANOE is very large and round as an 



apple. Moderately productive. Medium early and 



good quality. Hardly productive enough to become 



popular. 

 J AUBURN. — From southern Ohio. I have 



fruited this once, and am well pleased with it. The 



plant is healthy and productive. Blossoms, pistillate. 



conical form, fine looking, and of good quality. 

 J MICHEL'S EARLY.— This was the best early berry with us the past season, 



and we believe it is destined to take the place of the Hoffman in the South. The 



plant is a vigorous grower, fairly productive, of good size, and matures its crop 



early when berries are high. We shall plant largely of this variety. It is one of 



the best to fertilize with, as it blooms through a long season, and is full of pollen. 

 CRESCENT.— Too well known to need description. Our stock of this old 



standard sort is very fine.
