CENTREVILLE. Belle of the Cape. Lcwif!. This variety is described by all as producing fruit that is particularly handsome, of extra fine flavor, and as very desirable for the fancy trade of eastern and central markets. Notwithstanding its fine fruit, Centreville is grown only in a limited way in Massachusetts and New Jersey, and scarcely at all in Wis- consin. Chipman and Matthews are very simi- lar in vine and fruit but hardy as desirable, all things considered. The variety originated with T. Fuller, Centreville, Massachusetts, about 1882. Vines coarse with many runners; yielding about 55 bbls. to the acre; poorly suited for scoop-picking. Leaves dark green in the summer; very similar to those of Howes. Fruit late, ripening in Massachusetts about October 5 ; berries very large, 60-90 to the half- pint cup; elongated with lx)th ends conical; uniform in size and shape; medium red, becoming dark red; fruits coloring poorly in storage; not easy to clean, and do not keep or ship well; table quality superior; seeds 9-13. CHAMPION. A small acreage of Cham- pion IS grown in New Jersej', the crop being sold as extra fancj' by the American Cran- berry- Exchange under the Globe brand. The berries are described as very large, oblong, bright red. The crop is ready for shipment after October 20, and is listed as verj' desirable for the fancy trade in eastern and central markets.
