The berries of a glossy, rich dark crimson with red flesh of excellent tjuality, of large size, are of regular conical form and a good healthy grower.

Brandyw^ine. Late, Ferr«ot. All growers are unanimous in their praise of this magnificent berry, and it is considered one of the finest of all late fruiting sorts; we do not know that it has a single defect. Plants of extra strong constitution and growth, doing well everywhere. The fruit is extra large, heart-shaped, color bright, rich red, and the flavor leaves nothing to be desired. A grand variety for pre- serving, retaining its native flavor in a wonderful degree when canned. It always produces satisfactory crops, and whether grown for market or home consumption will always be found in the front rank of high-grade berries, sects, per doz.; { per 100 ; ^ per 1000.
