PRIDE OF CUMBERLAND(Per.) 



badly and by rusting as it does, 

 cover the fruit from the hot sun 

 in cultivation than this. 



Fruit medium to large size, when fully 

 ripe is dark red. Perfect 

 shape somewhat of Gan- 

 dy type. Sets lots of 

 berries but to mature 

 them it requires 

 a good soil. This 

 variety should not be 

 planted on light soils 

 as there are a number 

 of other varieties that 

 will do much better. 

 Rather sharp, but pleas- 

 ant flavor. Planted very 

 largely in N. J. 



H. & H. — We regret 

 to say that this berry 

 did not come up to the 

 origin ator' s description 

 by any means on our 

 soil. It is an early small 

 red berry and will not 

 stand shipment. Plants 

 look nice, being thickly 

 matted and entirely too 

 many plants to make 

 good fruit. 



GLENHARY (Per) 

 —Shows up better than 

 last season and it makes 

 some very large berries 

 but the plant rusts very 

 it does not seem to* have sufficient foliage to 

 therefore, we consider we have better varieties 



^ Wn. BELT (Per) — This variety needs to r be in rich moist soil and when 

 given highest culture it will always produce fine specimens and plenty of them. 

 The fruit is of good flavor, firm and uniform. In poor soil one would be disap- 

 pointed with this variety. Plant this if you are willing to feed it. 



SHARPLESS(Per)— An old standard variety, one of the very largest, when 

 planted on strong, rich, moist soil one would be surprised at the fine specimens 

 it will produce; but this variety will do fairly well in lighter soils but not as

 Yours etc., J. F. Bouck. q type put out in the past few years with 

 luah3 the claim that it ripens all over and for 





this reason only, they were superior to Sharpless, but I fear they have missed it 

 as we find when it comes down to actual facts there are but few of this t) pe 

 that will surpass it. 



MARSHALL (Per) — Fruit is the very largest size, bright red when fully 

 ripe, solid and a good shipper.. Plant very large and sets but few runners. 

 One of the very best under favorable circumstances but this variety must have 

 the very best soil and plenty of food. 



MITCHEL'S EARLY (Per) — One among the very earliest, medium size. 

 , Berries rather sour, scarlet in color. A healthy and abundant plant maker. 

 Must be thinned to get best results. An old standard variety and needs no de- 

 scription.
