Mrs. Cleveland is one of the finest growers I ever saw. Always making 

 large, healthy, vigorous plants. The fruit is very 

 large and fine but too soft for distant shipment 

 For home use or near market it is one of the best. 



Stevens. — This is a good berry for early mark 

 et, being productive, very early and very soli d 

 Charles Wright of Sussex Co , Delaware, describes 

 it thus: Ripened its first berries 1st of May not- 

 withstanding it was planted on the northwest side 

 of a woods, being twelve days ahead of Crescent in 

 the same field. It seems to be the earliest good 

 berry, dark red very solid and productive. 



Jessie. — This variety done well for me this 

 season for the first time. It may do well in some 

 sections but it is very unreliable here, some seasons 

 being very fine while other it is an entire failure. 



Lady Rusk is well spoken of in some sections 

 but with me it is not profitable. 



Pineapple is one of the healthiest growing varieties in cultivation but the fruit 

 is not profitable for market. It is of large size and very fine flavor, suitable for the 

 family garden but too soft for shipment. 



Acme is a variety of vigorous, healthy growth and ripens early. Quality 

 good. 



Alabama is a great favorite with some, it is of very fine quality and large size. 

 With me it is not productive enough, although it did not have a fair show. Some 

 of my neighbors claim that with them it is productive and firm. 



Bidwell is a good early berry on moist, rich land. Large size and fine 

 quality. 



Sharpless and Wilson are too well known to need description. 



Cloud Seedling does well with some but not with me. 



War field No, 2. — (P.) — As a general purpose berry for 

 west, there is no better variety than this. Though of com- 

 paratively recent introduction, it has been widely dis- 

 seminated, and its record is sufficient to place it in 

 the list of standard sorts not only, but well at the head of 

 that list, combining, as it does, every requisite of a 

 first-class berry adapted to general cultivation. It 

 succeed-? everywhere, and nevf r fails to produce a paying 

 crop. A head of Crescent in time, size, form and 

 quality, rivalling it in health, hardiness, vigor and produc- 

 tiveness, and much superior in color and firmness, it de- 

 serves to .supersede that well-known variety in every 

 section.
