The fruit is not quite so large as the Bubach, but is of better quality and much more solid, making a good shipping variety. Compared with Bubach, Warfield, Haverland, Gandy, Crescent, and Cumberland, on a scale of ten points, Greenville obtained the highest average. We cannot say too much for this berry, as it is one of the very best, and it will, when known, be planted extensively, as fruit growers, for commercial purposes, have found that they cannot grow anything that will give them more satisfaction. The plant and foliage are entirely hardy with us, and Greenville will be one of the berries for the masses. Our stock of this variety is large, and we have made rates very low. The following is the official report ofthe Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station of 1891 : " The Greenville is a strong competitor ofthe Bubach, and indeed bears some resemblance to that variety. The plants are a shade lighter in color than the Bubach, make a stronger growth, and are quite as productive. The berries average a little smaller than Bubach, but are more uniform in size and regular in outline, and of finer texture. It seems probable that the Greenville will have the important advantage over the Bubach of being a better shipj^; " Have nothing to take back of what we have said in the former reports regarding Greenville. It is a first- class market berry, and is good enough for home use. The plants are healthy and productive ; the berries of fair size and attBftctive. I rank Greenville as among the ;—U^. f/.
