Report of the Horticulturist of the 
moderately vigorous; leaves deep green, somewhat shriveled, seldom 
2-pinnate; calyx segments about equal in length' to the corolla. 
A very early variety, but quite worthless when better sorts are 
obtainable. 
No. 4. BLOUNT'S CHAMPION CLUSTER, Thor., '83. 
The fruit resembles that of the Trophy, and is borne in clusters of 
2 to 5; leaflets somewhat broader than those of the Trophy; — season 
medium. 
No. 5. BOSTON MARKET, Greg., '83, '85, '87. 
Syn. Fulton Market (incorrectly), Till., '85. 
Fruits a little less oblate, and slightly more regular than those of 
Alpha, maturing also a trifle later, but scarcely differing in other 
respects. 
No. 6. BRONZE FOLIAGE TROPHY, Thor., '86. 
Syn. New Bronze-Leaved, Greg., '87. 
Scarcely distinct from the Trophy with the exception that the 
foliage is of a very peculiar deep bronze green. The fruit, like that of 
the Trophy, is of excellent quality, but rarely regular in form. It 
ripened somewhat earlier than that of the Trophy. 
No. 7. BUNKER HILL, Bliss, '87. 
Resembles Great Chihuahua, but the foliage is paler, the fruit aver- 
ages a trifle smaller, slightly less corrugated, and matures very much 
earlier, being one of the earlier varieties; flesh thin, moderately firm, 
ripens unevenly; of no value as compared with the many superior 
No. 8. EARLY JERSEY, Land., '87. 
Resembles the Trophy, but the fruit is smaller, somewhat less corru- 
gated, and ripens considerably earlier. The skin is often roughened 
about the stem, both in the green and ripe fruit, with shallow circular 
cracks. 
It was recommended as being first early, but did -not prove so at the 
Station. 
No. 9. FAULTLESS, Greg., '87. 
Closely resembles the Conqueror, but the fruit is less oblate, more 
regular in outline, and not quite so early in ripening. 
No. 10. FULTON MARKET, Greg., '87. 
The fruit is scarcely distinguishable from that of General Grant, but 
the foliage differs in having the leaflets broader, less closely set, and
