HAVERLAND—Too well known to need describing here. It is one of the old reliable kinds that succeeds everywhere and pleases everybody. My stock of this variety is vtry fine. MURRAY—Extra early, a fine grower, claimed to be as early as Mitchel's Early and much more productive and larger berries. Has not fruited here. TUBBS—This is a good berry of Crescent type. In size it runs through the the season about like the first pickings of the Crescent—does not run down to- wards the last of the season like the Crescent. Very productive. In Anne Arundel county, where it originated it is considered the best btrry grown. It has a perfect blossom and is a very vigorous grower. SUNRISE—A very vigorous plane of the Crescent type, although having broader thicker leaves; imperfect blossoms, wondertuUy productive of medium sized, obtuse conical berries, dark glossy scarlet with white flesh, moderately firm, subacid, of high flavor. Fully as productive as and averaging one third larger than Crescent. Came to us without flourish of trumpets, but for five years now has proved itself a wonderlul producei. Anyone who was ever sat- isfied with Ciescent would be more than happy uith a bed of Sunrise."—Hale's description. GARDNER—This is a strong healthy grower, and immensely productive of berries that very much resemble Haverland in shape and size. It is a strong staminate and a very valuable variety. The berry is very light in color and if it has a fault this must be about the only one.
