This fruit requires a well drained, moderately rich soil, northern ex- posure preferred. We consider it one of our best paying crops. The past season the crop was damaged by a hail storm. Prices were higher than for years, and they paid well. Erie,—Same type as Kittatinny. Kittatinny,—A most excellent variety. The past season rows twenty- five rods long produced nearly five crates at a single picking of the very largest, best flavored fruit, and sold at 50 cents a case higher than Snyder. Berry very large, and late. Picked fruit until September 1. Rusts in some local ties, but we have never been troubled. Snyder—Undoubtedly the most hardy in cane and most prolific varie- ty in existence, and if lett on the bushes until fully ripe is really a good berry. Season early ; berry of medium size. Early Harvest—The standard early; ripe before raspberries are gone. Cane not entirely hardy. Eldorado.—Almost as large a berry as Kittatinny; not so good in flavor, but withal a good one to plant. Mercereau.—A most phenominal grower, and very prolific of larger, better flavored berries than Kittatinny. We have planted it only in a small way, but cane is very hardy and from its general appearance think it will prove a good one. Lucretia Dewberry—We Have a very large demand for plants, which goes to prove that the Dewberry is winning its way to the front. The cane will not withstand our cold winters, but it can easily be covered with old hay or straw for protection. Berry five times as large as Snyder. Austin's Dewberry—Originated by J. W. Austin, of Texas; said to be superior in every way to Lucretia. Rathbun.—A cross between Dewberry and Blackberry; berry very large. We have never heard an unfavorable repo
