WM. BELT — As growu by me the Wia. lieli has provt-.i il>v'h u> he i val- 

 uable berry. It is a good grower and makes a medium quantity ot strong 

 healthy plants that are usually heavy rooted. The berries are as large, with 

 some tp^cimens larger, than the Bubt:ch. I don't think it is twice as produc- 

 tive as Bubach. as has been claimed, ror do I think it would be desirable for 

 it to be, as in that case it would not be able to mature its immense losd. It is 

 about as productive as Bubach and with h;;lt a show seems to mature every 

 ben-y. It is more perfect in shape and Jar brtter in quantity and a better grow- 

 er than Buhrch. Its color is perfect. The accompanying illu^tralion was made 

 direct from a cluster of berries picked in Mr. J. A Davis" patch last June and 

 carried at once to the engravor. Mr. Davis has grown ih" Wm. Melt on his Car- 

 oline county farm for th^ New York market and speaks well of the variety. 



BLONDE is of a brilliant and attractive color, always heart shaped, of large 

 size, good <[uality and the strongest grower I ever cultivate*!. I grew it from 

 mixed sct^d. It is probably a snedling of Haverlatul. It is hirge, glossy and 

 shapely, and of a brilliant crimson color."" — Originator. 



It is a tine grower but has not frnitt'd here.
