24 R. M. KELLOGG'S GREAT CROPS ON ' 
Varieties. 
Of the thoroughly tested varieties of blackcaps we place at tlie head 
Johnson's Sweet, 
as the richest and sweetest 
blackcap in existence. En- 
tirely hardy and very pro- 
ductive. Berries nearly as 
large as Gregg, and ripens 
very soon after the Souhegan. 
Berry pickers and customers 
go for it immensely. You can 
surely hold your customers 
against all comers. It should 
have a place in every garden. 
Earhart. 
Everbearing. This is a re- 
markable berry. J. W. Sarff 
tells Messrs. Hale: "You 
may say, over my name, that 
the first crop of Earhart is/' 
equal in yield to Doolittle, 
Mammoth Cluster, or any of 
the leading sorts, and the 
after-crop continues from J uly 
to freezing in the fall, and is 
equal to twice that of the first 
crop. If the old wood was 
cut to the ground in the 
spring, you could safely count 
on a full crop from the new 
canes. I saw picked off two 
rows, si.x to eight rods long, 
sixteen quarts nice berries at 
one picking, at one time, 
about the first of September, 
and they sold for just double 
the price that blackcaps sold 
for when the main crop was 
ripe. 
Winona. 
A variety now fir.st offered, although it has 
been tested for eight years. This is very likely 
1o become a strong competitor of the Palmer, 
as it ripens at the same season. The introducer 
says: " The canes are of the largest size, stand 
firm and erect making, without any exception. 
Johnson's Sweet. 
the most perfect stool of any variety. It has 
never shown the least signs of blight or disease, 
perfectly hardy; no cold in eight years has 
injured it in the least. It ranks first in with- 
standing drouth. It ripens very early; fruit 
large size, glossy, jet black color, best quality. 
Asa shipper it is not excelled.
