berries. It is a strong pollenizer for pistillate varieties 
and does its best on soil that is very rich and highly 
fertilized. Ordinarily the foliage is not sufficient to 
protect the great crop of fruit, but this can be 
guarded against by planting in very rich land or by 
making an application of nitrate of soda in the spring 
before fruiting time. Price, $4 per 1,000.

and Crescent and all the best qualities of both these
