It has made a great record here as a profitable and productive shipping berry. I have shipped it by the carload and re- ceived excellent returns; but for some reason k does not seem to be popular with the majority of growers, and for this reason I would not advise planting it, except in a small way, until you have seen what it will do on your land. It is probably one of the best-keeping berries grown, and can be shipped almost any distance. OHIO BOY. This variety makes a strong, vigor- ous growth and is very productive, the season of ripening very late. I was slow to recommend this variety at first, owing to the fact that its foliage shows unmistakable relation to the Bedarwood, which is a soft berry; I find, however, that the Ohio Boy has all the vigor and productiveness of the Bedarwood, with fruit much larger in size and firm enough to make an excellent shipping berr>'. The blossoms are perfect. Following this berry through the season, I find that it gives an immense crop of delicious berries, lasting late in the season; in fact, it is one of the latest we have. OREM. This is another late variety of tional quality. For an exceedingly late variety it is my choice of any I have seen up to this time; being very firm, it can be left on the vines two or three days after it is ripe and still be in good condition. It is one of the kind that bears under almost any conditions. It commences to ripen with the Gandy, and bears an abundance of firm, large berries, which last until after the Gandy are gone. It is more productive
