E. W. REID’S CATALOGUE OF SMALL FRUITS, ETC 
9 
Pineapple. Under dispute ; claimed by ex- 
perts to be the old Bonanza. We have 
nothing to say, only our original stock was 
received from headquarters, and in Mary- 
land it is claimed to be of great value, but 
we have not found it so with us. 25 cts. 
per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Jessie. This has been before the people 
long enough to be known, and much has 
been claimed for it; in fact, too much. 
While it is a good berry, there are others 
as good and better on our soil, but soil 
makes all the difference in the berry. 25 
cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Summit. (P. ) One of the largest; good 
grower, and a fine fruit in some localities , 
subject to rust, but not with us. A good 
variety for home uses, but like all large 
berries not profitable enough for commer- 
cial growers. 25 cts per doz., $1 per 100, 
$7 per 1,000. 
Ontario. Claimed by some to be same as 
Sharpless, butwith 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 snd 
is known to be perfectly pure. 25 cts. per 
doz., 75 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 cts. 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 
ever sent out when the soil suits it. It 
made a fine growth, with a dark foliage 
and a large leaf. Not quite so firm as 
some others, butwill standshipmentvery 
well. 25 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100. 
Wilson Albany. Still in the lead at Sunny 
Hill Fruit Farm, 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. We can recommend them to 
any : there are places where they will not 
succeed, but 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, S3 per 1,000. 
Gandy's Prize. Largeand very late: holds 
its fruit well from the ground. This is 
the best late berry we have growing, 
all points considered. Very firm, and 
when put upon the market, brings the 
highest market price ; it, is also valuable 
as a fertilizer to use with early varieties, 
making the latter end of the crop more 
perfect. We have received five cents per 
quart more for Candy than for other 
varieties, owing to its size, beauty and 
firmness at this late date of ripening. 25 
cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Burt Seedling. We value this very highly 
for growing on deep moist soil; it has 
been a good producer with us; of good 
size, very firm and productive. Wc do 
not hesitate to recommend it for fruiting 
for profit. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, 
$3 per 1,000. 
Monmouth. Early; firm; quality lair; but 
like many other varieties, not as produc- 
tive as wc would like. Its merit lays in 
firmness, earliness and color. We think 
as much of it as of Jessie. 25 cts. per 
doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Logan. Size large to very large; color 
good and true; a good grower. We still 
think as well of it as last season; it is one 
of the berries that attract the attention 
of the buyer, and we highly recommend 
it to our customers. 25 cts. per doz., 
75 cts. per 100, $0 per 1,000. 
Pearl, A vigorous grower ; fruit very firm 
aud attractive. It is claimed by many to 
be of great value, but we see no point over 
some given above ; yet it is worth trial, as 
we have no fault to find, and on other soils 
it may be of more value than some we 
have mentioned. 25 cts. per doz., 75 cts. 
per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
Bomba. The first berry to ripen on our 
farm, and of the best quality; plant vig- 
orous and large ; good grower and pro- 
ductive, but fruit with us does not hold 
up well at end of season. Try it. 25 cts. 
per doz., $1 per 100, $0 per 1,000. 
Cloud Seedling. (P.) On thin soil, this 
season, it did very well with us, better 
than ever before: it is not so productive- 
as Crescent or Warfield, but has a good 
color, and is very firm. 25 cts. per doz., 
50 cts. per 100, $2.50 per 1.000. 
Gold. (P.) A new variety of good quality, 
with peculiar seed of bright color; of 
good flavor but not very productive. Go 
slow on it. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $6 
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, $6 
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 t he 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. 25 cts. per 
doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Cumberland Triumph. Wecultivatethis 
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 desire, but in past years 
j it seemed to produce more fruit each sea- 
son. We can recommend it highly. Bet- 
ter on poor clay soil well manured than 
on rich loam. A sale can always be found 
for it. 25 cts. per doz. 50 cts. per 100, $3 
per 1 .000. 
Crescent. Like t he Con cord grape, it seems 
to be in the lead with fruit-growers. Any- 
one can grow the Crescent, for it tyill al- 
i most take care of itself after it is once 
put in the ground. Strange to s.a.v, last 
I season we sold three times as many of
