GREENVILLE. 
Comparing this variety, as we do, with Bubach No. 5, which is known to growers as a most superb berry, 
would say it resembles it in growth. The leaf is a lighter green, but has not the robust growth, yet it is a better 
grower and more free to run. The fruit is not quite so large as the Bubach, but is of better quality and much 
more solid, making a good shipping variety. Compared with Bubach, Warfield, Haverland, Gandy, Crescent, 
and Cumberland, on a scale of ten points, Greenville obtained the highest average. 
We cannot say too much for this berry, as it is one of the very best, and it will, when known, be planted 
extensively, as fruit growers, for commercial purposes, have found that they cannot grow anythingthat will give 
them more satisfaction. The plant and foliage are entirely hardy with us, and Greenville will be one of the 
berries for the masses. Our stock of this variety is large, and we have made rates very low. 
The following is the official report ofthe Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station of 1891 : “The Greenville is 
a strong competitor of the Bubach, and indeed bears some resemblance to that variety. The plants are a shade 
lighter in color than the Bubach, make a stronger growth, and are quite as productive. The berries average a 
little smaller than Bubach, but are more uniform in size and regular in outline, and of finer texture. It seems 
probable that the Greenville will have the important advantage over the Bubach of being a better shipper.” 
“ Have nothing to take back of what we have said in the former reports regarding Greenville. It is a first- 
class market berry, and is good enough for home use. The plants are healthy and productive ; the berries of 
fair size and attractive. I rank Greenville as among the best.” — IV. $J. Green, Horticulturist of Ohio Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station , Columbus, Ohio, August j, 1892.

This new candidate for public favor originated with Edward T. Ingram, Vennsylvania. He claims it is 
ofimmense size and fine quality; quitefirm and shapely for so large a berry. 
Foliage of the largest and thriftiest, entirely free of scald or blemish. 
Heavv peduncles. In average size is as large as any ever raised, and 
the shape is more uniformly good than that of any other of the largest 
varieties. In general it is heart-shape, often broadly so, without neck. 
Its most pronounced irregularity inclines towards a Sharpless shape, 
occasionally as of two berries joined together. Calyx and sepals broad 
and many.' Medium red, flesh red, firm and solid for so large a berry; 
none more so. Quality not the best, but fully as good as Sharpless, and 
better than Bubach. Vines exceedingly prolific. The best berry in our 
collection of this season up to date. Brandywine continues a long time 
in fruit, and is of superior shape, quality and size for so large a berry. 
Foliage perfect. 
This variety we have not yet fruited ; but from reports it has evidently 
come to stay.
