Cumberland — The following Item Is taken from The Western Fruit-Grower of 
June 28: "We are now In position to discuss this rema- 1 " ■ '-'e berry. The first 
ripened with us the 9th inst. They are sti.l 
with us and will be for several days, as 
their disposition to throw up secondary 
shoots makes them a long drawn out va- 
riety. In size, the Cumberland stands first, 
160 berries making a full quart. Have you 
ever counted berries? We have: it is the 
only certain means we have In determining 
size of berries. Of the ordinary varieties, 
such as Hopkins. Doolittle, etc., from 450 
to 500 to the quart. You will see that the 
Cumberland is nearly three times the size 
of the old standards. It was a satisfaction 
while on the Kansas City market to have 
the berry growers crowd around our wagon 
to see this monster that sold from 50 cents 
to $1.00 per crate above the market. The 
Cumberland is a good grower, a splendid 
yie'.der, of good quality, handsome, very 
black, good shipper and much larger, mak- 
ing it the best of black caps." 
Gregg — For many years the leading 
standard, best known market sort. Very 
productive, large size firm, meaty berries, 
covered with heavy bloom. 
Knnans — A strong, vigorous grower, 
standing extremes of drought and cold, 
and bearing Immense crops. Early ripen- 
ing. Berries size of Gregg: of better color; 
let black and almost free from bloom; 
firm, of best quality: presents handsome 
appearance, and brings good price In 
market.

Ohio — Highly recommended for canning or evaporation, and enormously pro- 
ductive berry, not quite so large as Gregg, but of finest quality and the plants are
