TennetMe (P) Yields a good crop of second early berries here in Deleware. A 
very satisfactory berry to gro,w, for market, on account of the plants vigorous habit 
and the early season and fine appearance of the berries. While it may not suit 
everywhere as it does here, we hear many speak highly of it, especially in the south. 
Our large stock of plants enables us to sell at a very- low price, 30 cents per 100 
$3 per 1,000.

Most vigorous in the Plantation. — Dear Sir: By an oversight Weston was 
not included in the planting made two years ago. In the old patch (second year 
fruiting) the plants were remarkably free from blight, and the most vigorous in 
the plantation. We have tl e variety in the plant that will fruit the coming sea- 
son. I regard the Weston t s a very promising sort. Yours truly, 
H. W. Gladden.” 
Windsor Chief (P) An old favorite va- 
riety in many localities. A rank grower, 
very hardy and in productiveness not ex- 
celled by any other. Berries medium to 
large, verv firm and of good quality, needs 
a strong soil to perfect the enormous load 
of fruit it sets. 
Wilson (S) Small, dark ted, fine and 
good. Very largely planted, and one of 
the best for canning and market. The 
best shipping berry known. Extra strong 
plants. 
Kyle No. i. The Kyle I found by 
the roadside in 1889. A seedling; its fine 
large berries attracted my attention. In 
the spring of 1890 I procured the plant. 
Since then have propogated and fruited it; 
have fruited it on dry sand, also on low 
heavy land. Spring of ’95 when Crescent, ' ^ windsor.chief. 
Wilson Bubach and Tnnbrell were killed by the frost, the Kyle went through frost 
proof and produced a fine crop of deep glistening red colored berries, and possessed 
of a fascinating tartish flavor. It is an enormous yielder. The fruit is very solid 
and firm. In all cold localities the Kyle will be a success. 1 intended to have a 
fine stock to off or this spring, but as a result of the late setting during the drouth 
I lost most of mv plants. 1 have placed them with some of our agricultural critics 
to test their merits and will wait their report. I herewith submit a report from 
the careful experimenter. Chas. II. Sumner:

Wn. C. Babcock, Bridgman, Mich. — 
Dear Sir:— Can you send us a specimen pint 
box by mail of Kyle berries? This is the most 
promising sort in our trial bed of over 50 var- 
ieties. It is a good size, good rich flavor, dark 
glossy color. Most of the plants set, though 
we only allowed one to bear. I throws vigor- 
ously. When will this be put on^the market? 
Name conditions and prices. What is its 
origin : 
Yours, 
Charles H. Sumner. 
Kyle (S) This[comes from Michigan. It 
is productive, fair size, rich acid flavor, quite 
firm and shiny, rich carmine color, quite 
attractive in appearance. It is a vigorous, 
healthy grower; makes runners freely and so 
far has not developed a single defect. It is 
self-fertelizing, but not strongly so. A de- 
cided acquisition.
