Berries resemble Haverland but are considerably larger, scarlet, firm, quality 
excellent. 
First bloom May 19th, abundant bloom May 20-26th. First ripe fruits June 
20-23d, last July 2d. 
We consider this variety worthy of further trial. It is reported favorably 
from Michigan and Pennsylvania. 
Cornelia.— bisexual. 
This variety appears to be exactly like Glendale.

first picking June 22nd.

Crawford. —bisexual. Originated with M. T. Crawford, Ohio. 
The variety lacks vigor, producing but few plants. It has done too poorly 
to be worthy of description or further trial by us. 
Crescent. —pistillate. 
Plants of medium habit, very healthy and hardy, setting runners abundantly. 
The leafstalks are slender, leaflets long, frequently with two series of notches 
of very different size, color dark green, trusses medium length, bloom abundant, 
flowers small to medium, petals five, stamens rudimentary. 
Berries medium size, conic with prolonged point, colored well, quality fair, 
acid, core somewhat cartilaginous, firmness and productiveness good. 
First bloom May 12-16th, abundant bloom May 22d. First ripe berry June 
7-15th, first picking June 15-20th, full picking June 27th, last July 10th. 
The small size of the fruit, especially late in the season, is its chief fault. It 
is reported very vigorous and productive and of good quality and firmness from 
Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Montana and Wyoming. 
Cumberland. —bisexual. 
Plants large, vigorous, setting young plants in sufficient numbers. The leaf¬ 
stalks are short and stout, the leaflets broad, roundish, bluntly toothed, medium 
dark green, trusses short to medium, stout, rays slender, bloom sufficient, 
flowers medium size, petals round, stamens well formed. 
Berries large, short-conic to nearly globular, pale red, flesh light, hulls easily 
detached, appearance neat and smooth, quality excellent, rather soft, yield good. 
First bloom May 15th, abundant bloom May 26th. First ripe fruits June 
6-12th, first picking June 8-14th, full picking June 20-27th, last July 17th. 
The variety is but slightly subject to frost injury. It is reported fair in 
Georgia, good in Kansas and very good at Sheridan, Wyoming. 
Edgar Queen. —pistillate. 
The plants are large and vigorous with abundant foliage, leafstalks are long 
and stout, leaflets medium to large, broad-ovate, medium shade green, teeth 
deep and sharp, trusses long, upright, stout, bloom very abundant, flowers 
medium size, petals six or more, frequenty the inner petals forming rudimentary

18th, full picking June 27th, last July 12th.

green in spots. Many berries failed to develop. It is reported very favorably 
from Georgia and Michigan but only fairly so from Montana.
