season, color light pink, of a mild, pleasant flavor. The variety is 
not as productive as some, but for home use is a favorite wherever 
grown. 
Downing .—Another of the old sorts, which, like the Cumberland, 
is desirable only for home use, on account of its poor shipping qual¬ 
ities. Here the plant lacks vigor and productiveness. It is me¬ 
dium in time of ripening, fruit small, conical, regular, color attrac¬ 
tive, flavor good. 
Edgar Qaeen .—A late variety of strong, vigorous growth ; leaf 
stalks long, leaflets large, long to broad ovate, light in color, trusses 
long and strong, productive, berries of large size, somewhat lobed, 
holds its size well, but is not firm enough for market. 
Edward^s Favorite .—This variety is said to be a seedling of old 
Jucunda, which it closely resembles both in plant and fruit. Plant 
remarkably strong and healthy, produces runners freely, medium in 
time of ripening. Berries of large size, conical, very even, holding 
the same throughout the season, of a bright, attractive color, appear¬ 
ing as though they had been varnished, seeds golden and prominent, 
flavor good. While not so productive as some, this is one of the best 
varieties tested. We think it would prove a good shipper. 
Eureka .—A late variety of strong growth, late in blooming, 
leaf stalks long, leaflets large, broad ovate, medium light in color, 
trusses long and strong, productive, berries of the Bubach type, 
Ihrge, sometimes irregular, colors evenly, a light scarlet, of fair flavor, 
but too soft for shipping. 
• Haverland .—This is a second early variety, vigorous and pro¬ 
ductive, but desirable onl}" for home use, the fruit being too soft for 
shipping. Leaf stalks long and fairly strong, leaflets medium size, 
long ovate, light green, trusses long, fruit rests on the ground, berries 
©f medium size, conical, slightly necked, color a light scarlet, flavor 
good, a fine variety for home use. 
Gandy .—One of the latest to ripen. Were this variety produc¬ 
tive it would stand without a peer as a late sort; plant of medium 
vigor, makes but few runners, leaf stalks medium long, strong, leaf¬ 
lets long ovate, trusses long. Berries uniformly large, of a bright 
scarlet, with a very large green calyx, which remains fresh for a long 
time after being picked, giving the fruit an attractive appearance in 
market; the regular even size is held throughout the season ; the 
variety is a good shipper. 
Glendale .—A late variety with apparently tender foliage for this 
climate. Plants are tall and of only medium vigor, leaf stalks long, 
leaflets long ovate, light green, trusses long and strong, productive, 
berries of medium size, conical, of poor color, many having white 
sides and tips..
