Ontario. Claimed by some to be same as 
Sharpless, but with us is as different as 
the Wilson is from Crescent. Tt 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 cts. per 
doz., 75 cts. per 100, $5 per 1,000. 
Crimson Cluster. (1 J .) 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 cts. per 
doz., $1.50 per 100, $10 per 1,000. 
Lida. (P.) Thisvarietyiscertainly worthy 
of note. It is quite large, smooth, regu- 
lar in size; fruits quite late; color bright 
glossy red. One of the most productive 
ever sent 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 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $6 per 1,000. 
Wilson Albany. Still in the lead at Sunny 
Hill FruitFarm, of all 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 ; there are places they will not sue ■ 
ceed, but 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.) We received this variety 
from the originator in Massachusetts, but 
have not given it a fair trial, and can say 
but little in regard to it; but it promises 
fair, both growth and fruit. It is worthy 
of trial. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $S per 
1 , 000 . 
Belmont. A variety which has taken a 
number of prizes when on exhibition in 
its native state (Massachusetts). It is 
one of the strongest growers on the farm, 
with a dark green foliage, 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 cts. per doz., 50 cts. 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 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 
100, $3.50 per 1,000. 
Cumberland Triumph. We cultivate this 
variety extensively for fruit, as it is one 
of the most salable berries we have in 
our market, and sells for the highest 
price. It is very large, not as bright in 
color as we would desii-e, but in past years 
it seemed to produce more fruit each sea- 
son. We can recommend it highly. Bet- 
ter on poor clay soil well manui’ed than on 
rich loam. A sale can always be found 
for it. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. 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, with good 
culture. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. 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; then it will sometimes pro- 
duce astonishing results. 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 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 
per 1,000. 
Crescent. Like the Concord grape, it seems 
to be in the lead with fruit growers. Any- 
one can grow the Crescent, for it will al- 
most take care of itself after it is once 
put in the ground. Strange to say, last 
season we sold three times as many of 
this variety as any others. It is very 
hardy and prolific, and should not be al- 
lowed to run the entire season to matted 
rows. Better results will follow if prop- 
erly attended to. In comparing new va- 
rieties, they always refer to the Crescent, 
as a standard for vigor and sure produc- 
tiveness. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, 
$2.50 per 1,000.
