Boynton* —pistillate. Originated in N. Y., probably a cross between Crescent 
and Sharpless. 
While ranking as a pistillate it is apparently capable of self fertilization. It 
is a vigorous variety, forms plants abundantly, leafstalks medium to long, 
slender,, leaflets medium size, oblong, deeply and sharply toothed, medium to 
dark green, trusses medium to long, ascending, branches short, bloom abundant, 
flowers small to medium, petals usually live, round but sometimes pointed, not 
imbricate, stamens more developed than with most pistillate varieties but still 
rudimentary. 
The berries are much of the Crescent type and character, medium size, short- 
conic, scarlet, flesh light, core somewhat cartilaginous, quality good, acid, flesh 
firm, yield good 
First bloom May 12-15th, full bloom May 20th. First ripe fruit June 10th, 
first picking June 13th, full picking June 26th, last picking July 13th. 
The chief fault of this variety is that the berries become very small towards 
the close of the season. Although inclined to be soft, it is reported very favorably 
from the Kansas and the Minnesota Stations. At the latter Station it does best 
in hill culture. 
Brandywine. —bisexual. Originated in Eastern Pennsylvania. Supposed to be 
a cross between Glendale and Cumberland. 
The plant is of rather low habit, forming young plants abundantly. The 
leafstalks are short and stout, the leaflets large and broad, dark green in color, 
trusses medium length, stout, bloom production medium, anthers numerous, 
large and well formed. 
Berries large, broad-conic, crimson, flesh ditto, slightly cartilaginous. 
First bloom May 18-22d, abundant bloom*May 29th. First ripe berry June 
21st,. last July 12th. 
This is a variety of but medium value here. It is reported very favorably 
from the Georgia and the Michigan Stations, fairly well from Pennsylvania, but 
very poorly from Montana. 
Btibach (No* 5).—pistillate. Originated with J. G. Bubach, Princeton, Ill. 
The plants are vigorous, leafstalks medium to long, leaflets large, broad, 
coarsely and abundantly toothed, frequently with small interposed serrations, 
dark green, trusses not numerous, medium length, bloom scant, flowers fair size, 
often quite irregular. 
Berries medium to large, conic, flattened at tips, colored well into the flesh 
but not uniformly on the surface, firm, seeds deeply set, quality fair, yield poor. 
First bloom May 19th, abundant 28th. First ripe berry June 15th, last July 
10th. 
The variety is reported poorly from the Georgia Station, but quite favorably 
from the Kansas, Michigan, Montana and Pennsylvania Stations and from 
Sheridan and Lander in Wyoming. 
Capt. Jack. —bisexual. Originated in Missouri with a Samuel Miller. 
The variety is a vigorous grower, producing plants in great abundance. The 
leafstalks are short and stout, the leaflets are medium size, broad-oval, dark 
green, leathery, notches equal and similar, main axes of trusses stout and upright, 
branches long and spreading, bloom abundant and held above the foliage, 
flowers medium size, broadly expanded, petals usually five, round, flat, stamens 
numerous and well developed. 
Berries light crimson, regular conic form, size medium, color uniform, flesh 
lighter, quality fair to good, a good shipper, quite productive. 
First bloom May 12-17th, abundant bloom May 20th. First ripe berry June 
6-10th, full picking June 20-27th, last picking July 10th. 
This is a good early to mid-season variety, but the berries become too small 
later. It is an excellent pollenizer and is reported quite favorably from Kansas 
and Wyoming. 
Carrie. —pistillate. A seedling of Haverland. 
Plants large and vigorous, reproducing sufficiently. The leafstalks are stout, 
leaflets medium to large, dark green, leathery, trusses long, ascending, bloom 
abundant, flowers medium size, stamens large for a pistillate variety.
