Hundred Dollar.—(L. J. Farmer, :Pulaski, N. Y.) Perfect. 
Plants few, vigorous, healthy, very productive. Leaves large, med- 
ium dark green; leaf stems medium to above in length, medium to 
slender. Fruit stems rather long, slender, often branched. Blooms 
and ripens in midseason, picks easily. Calyx medium to large, 
rather leafy, attractive green, flat. Seeds sunken. Fruit large to 
medium, retains size well as season advances, wedge to roundish 
conic, light and dark scarlet. Flesh medium red, firm, mild, pleasant 
but not high flavor. Slightly coarse in appearance. Lacks in juici- 
ness. 
*Joe.— (J. H. Black, Son & Co., Hightstown, N. J.) Perfect. 
Originated by Black, Son & Company, fruiting for the first time in 
1893, and introduced by them in 1899. A seedling of Middlefield 
and Chairs was crossed with Sharpless and one of the best seedlings 
obtained in this way was crossed with Gandy. The most promising 
of this cross was named Joe. Plants few, vigorous, healthy, pro- 
ductive when planted closer than most varieties. Leaves medium to 
very large, medium dark green; leaf stems long, thick. Fruit stems 
long, thick, usually double, semi-erect. Blooms late, ripens in mid- 
season or slightly later, picks easily. Calyx averages medium in 
size but often large, rather leafy, usually flat. Seeds numerous, 
raised. Fruit above medium to very large, blunt, roundish conic or 
irregular wedge, surface often furrowed, attractive glossy dark scar- 
let. Flesh dark red, very firm, agreeably acid, high in flavor, very 
good in quality. On account of making few runners the plants 
should be set closer than most varieties. Has many qualities that 
commend it, especially large size of fruit which is well retained as 
the season advances, attractive color, and desirable flavor and quality. 
Requires care in picking to avoid green tips. 
Kansas.—(W. F. Allen, Salisbury, Md.) Imperfect. Origi- 
nated in 1899 by J. J. Wittman, Emporia, Kansas, and introduced 
*Plants were set 3 ft. x 10 inches.
