Named by PROF. BAILEY of Cornell University. 
See Cornell Bulletin, No. gg, Aug., 'gs. 
" A variety resembling Snyder and derived from it. Some four years ago 
the originator noticed an extra large strong bush among his Snyders, and be- 
gan to propagate from it He is now gradually changing his whole plantation 
over to this new variety. It is one of the most promising varieties I know." 
Prof. Bailey. 
No one is more familiar with this berry than our Mr. Wiley, living but two 
miles from where it originated, his attention being called to the parent plant a 
few days after it was discovered. He was also in company with Prof. Baily 
when he went to examine and name the variety.
