Berries medium to large, broad-conic, symmetrical, crimson, flesh colored, 
quality, firmness and yield good. 
First bloom May 16th, abundant bloom May 22d. First ripe berry June 
ll-13th, first picking June 13-15th, full picking June 20-27th, last July 17th. 
This is one of our best medium to late varieties. It is reported unfavorably 
from Georgia, Montana and Southern California Stations, but quite favorably 
from New York and Michigan. 
Gold.— pistillate. Originated with P. M. Angar & Sons, Conn., 1880. 
Plants medium size, pale yellowish color, lacking in vigor. Leafstalks 
medium length, somewhat drooping, leaflets medium size, broad-oval, trusses 
short, stout, bloom sufficient, flowers small, petals usually five with occasionally a 
partial inner circle. 
Berries medium to large, short-conic, scarlet, flesh ditto, quality fair to good 
yield poor. 
First bloom May 12th, full bloom May 22d. First ripe berry June 16th, 
first picking June 17th. 
The variety is not a success under our conditions. It is reported quite un¬ 
favorably from Georgia and Sheridan, Wyoming. ■ 
Gov. Hoard.— bisexual. Originated in Wisconsin, a seedling of Sharpless. 
The plants are large and quite reproductive. The leafstalks are long and 
stout, leaflets large, broad-ovate, medium green, trusses medium length, stout, 
bloom abundant, flowers large, petals usually five, stamens well formed. 
Berries medium size, short-conic with neck, red all over, flesh colored well in, 
only fair in quality, firmness and yield. 
First bloom May 12th, first picking June 17th. 
Subject to frost injury, of no value on our .grounds. Reported quite favor¬ 
ably from the Michigan Station. 
Gypsy. —pistillate. 
Plants of low habit, forming a thickly matted row. Leafstalks short and 
stout, leaflets broad, coarsely toothed, dark green in color, trusses short to 
medium, bloom sufficient, flowers small to medium, petals usually five, stamens 
none. 
Berries medium size, short, round-conic, very symmetrical, uniform deep 
‘Crimson color, flesh ditto, quality excellent, firm, > ield medium. 
First bloom May 16-18th, abundant May 21st, full bloom May 25th. First 
ripe berry June 5-14th, first picking June ll-15th, full picking June 20-27th, last 
•July 12th. 
We consider this an excellent variety and worthy of further trial. It is re¬ 
ported very favorably from Michigan, but at the Kansas Station is said to be a 
complete failure. 
tHaverland.— pistillate. 
Plants of medium size, healthy and fairly vigorous although somewhat sub¬ 
ject to leaf-curl. Forms a poor stand in matted row. Leafstalks are medium 
long, leaflets medium to large, rather broad, sharp toothed, medium shade green, 
trusses short to medium, more or less prostrate with twelve to sixteen blooms per 
truss, flowers small, parts arranged in plan of five, stamens none. 
Berries very long with a neck, light scarlet, flesh ditto, quality very good, 
yield good. 
The trusses are not strong enough to support the fruit. The calyx is some¬ 
what reflexed. 
First bloom May 8th, abundant bloom May 18th, full bloom May 2lst. First 
ripe berries June 5th, first picking 8-10th, full picking 27th, last picking July 10th. 
Although the blossoms and leaves are somewhat subject to frost injury we 
regard this as one of our best early varieties. It is reported unfavorably from 
'Georgia though quite productive, fairly well from Kansas and Montana, and quite 
favorably from Michigan, New Y 7 ork and Sheridan, Wyoming.
