E. W. REID’S CATALOGUE OF SMALL FRUITS, ETC. 
MANCHESTER. 
Ontario. Claimed by some to be same as 
Sharpless, but with us is as different as 
the Wilson is from Crescent. It is a good 
berry and of value to the market grower. 
Our original stock came from Canada 
and is known to be perfectly pure. 25 
cents per doz., T5 cts. per 100, $5 per 1,000. 
Crimson Cluster. (P.) It requires deep, 
moist soil and high culture to make it 
worthy of cultivation. Its fruit is large 
and in clusters, from which it received 
its name. Where hill culture is practiced 
it is just the thing. Fruiting season 
quite long. Plant grows to a larger size 
with us than any other variety. 50 cents 
per doz., $1.50 per 100, $10 per 1,000. 
Lida. (P.) This variety is certainly worthy 
of note. It is quite large, smooth, regu- 
lar in size ; fruits quite late ; color bright 
glossy red. One of the most productive 
everosent out when the soil suits it. It 
made a fine growth with a dark foliage 
and large leaf. Not quite so firm as some 
others, but will stand shipment very 
well. 25 cents per doz., 75 cents per 100, $0 
per 1,000. 
Wilson Albany. Still in the lead at Sunny 
Hill Fruit Farm of standard varieties. 
We shipped the plants to dealers all over 
the United States last season, and they 
unite in saying that they were the finest 
ever seen. I can recommend them to any, 
but there are places they will not suc- 
ceed, and it is not in this part of Belmont 
county. Can be shipped a long distance, 
and where it flourishes is a fine berry. 25 
cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Hampden. (P.) Wereceiyed 
this variety from the origi- 
nator in Massachusetts, but 
have not given it a fair trial 
and can say but little in re- 
gard to it; but it promises 
fair, both, growth and fruit. 
It is worthy of trial. 50 
cents per doz:, $1 per 100, $8 
per 1,000. 
Belmont. A 'variety which 
has taken a number of prizes 
when on exhibition in its 
native state (Massachu- 
setts). It is one' of the 
strongest growers on the 
farm, with a dark green foli- 
age, but it requires a very 
deep soil; if this is not at 
hand it will not be very 
productive. Set more fruit 
than any berry we had. One 
of the best fertilizers for 
early berries, as it is late. 
25 cents per doz., 50 cents 
per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Mammoth. Was somewhat 
disappointed in this fruit, 
but it may be the nature of 
our soil. It produced very 
fine fruit, but not enough. 
It is somewhat larger than 
Sharpless, coloring to the 
tip, but not as productive. 
25 cents per doz., 50 cents 
per 100, $3.50 per 1,000. 
Cumberland Triumph. We 
cultivate this variety exten- 
sively for fruit, as it is one 
of the most saleable berries we have in 
our market, and sells for the highest 
price. It is very large, not as bright in 
color as we would desire, but in past 
years it seemed to produce more fruit 
each season. We can recommend it 
highly. Better on poor clay soil well 
manured than on rich loam. A sale can 
always be found for it. 25 cents per doz., 
50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Sharpless. This variety is old and known 
by most all fruit growers. At one time it 
stood at the head of the list with Belmont 
county berrymen, but of late years it 
seems to be not so productive. Its size 
is large to very large, irregular in shape, 
and of a dark red when fully ripe ; suc- 
ceeds well on any heavy soil. 25 cts. per 
doz., 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Jucunda. This season this variety did 
very poorly with us, as the late varieties 
were caught in the drouth, but we have 
seen enough in former years to have our 
mind made up on it. It is quite late, and 
requires a heavy soil, very rich and well 
protected. No plants by the 1,000. 30 cts. 
per doz., $1 per 100. 
Manchester. (P.) Of large size, resem- 
bling Cumberland Triumph. One of the 
best family berries, and profitable for 
market at home; not a good shipper. In 
some localities it rusts, but with us this 
season did not show signs of it. Does 
best on slight, sandy soil; moderately 
firm and very productive; a standard and 
useful berry. 25 cents per doz., 50 cents 
per 100, $3 per 1,000.
