OF FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL TREES, &c. 41. ERIE. Early Harvest—A new variety of great promise, being exceedingly early in time of ripening and always reliable. The canes are strong and upright in growth, branch- ing stout and vigorously. Hardier than Kittatinny or Lawton ; an enormous bearer. Berries sweet and of the highest quality, though not as large as some vari- eties. Erie—A new variety from northern Ohio; plant a vigorous grower, berry large, round and of a high quality. Kittatinny—Large, black, sweet; soft, when black ; very hardy ; ripens up gradually like the Lawton. One of the best, except in northern sections. Snyder—Extremely hardy ; enormously productive ; medium size ; no hard sour core; half as many thorns as'Lawton or Kittatinny, and they are nearly straight and short. Taylor's Prolific—A new variety of the greatest value. It is so extremely hardy as to have stood 30 deg. below zero unharmed. Berries large (nearly as large as Kitta- tinny), and of the highest quality. Canes of strong, spreading growth, and in pro- ductiveness it is simply remarkable, fully equalling in this respect the Snyder. It ripens with Kittatinny. The editor of the Indiana Farmer, in speaking of this variety says : ''never have we seen such masses of fruit growing on vines before. The strong stalks were literally bent down to the ground with the weight that was upon ; Wachusetts Thorn less—Fruit of medium size, oblong, oval, moderately firm, sweet and good, and less acid than any blackberry we have seen. It is a good keeper, ships well, and is therefore valuable as a market berry. The plant is said to do equally well on light and heavy soils, and to bear heavy crops where other varie- ties have failed. It is also very hardy and free from thorns. Wilso
