very rapidly, and all plants excepting five or six stalks for main hill must be 
treated as weeds and hoed out. 
CUTHBERT. 
Brandywine — A valuable market sort by 
reason of its firmne.ss, good size and bright 
crimson color. The canes are hardy but lack 
vigor of growth and are productive only on good 
rich soil. It is not now so largely grown as in 
the past, but is to be recommended for the firm-

Cuthbert or Queen of the Market — A re- 
markably strong, hardy variety; .stands the north-

Kerries very large, measuring three inches 
around, conical, rich crimson, very hand.some, 
and so firm they can be .shipped hundreds of 
hundreds of miles by rail in good condition; 
flavor is sweet, rich and luscious. The leading 
market variety for main crop.
