CLYDE. — This new berry seems to be gaining great favor wherever known. 
It originated with Dr. J. Stayman several years ago. It is a seedling of the 
Cyclone, and the Cyclone is a cross between the Crescent and the Cumberland. 
The Clyde has Crescent blood in it and no doubt gets its immense productiveness 
from that variety. With me it is as large as the Bubach, nearly or quite a week
