FUN AND COMFORT IN FRUIT-GROWING Lovett, One of the Doolittle type, introduced three years ago as the most productive, largest and best of any early variety. After two years' fruiting, we cannot see that it has any decided advan- tage over the others, yet it is highly praised in some sections of the country. 50 cts. per doz., $1 per 5*0, per 100. Palmer. A cross be- tween Souhegan and Gregg, combining the hardiness and earliness of one and nearly the great size of the other. Our field notes, made June 25, read : ' Palmer is carrying nearly as many ripe berries as Souhegan, and far more red and green ones, indi- cating that it will be consid- erably more productive; it is of medium to large size, with very solid, compact, grains, and is rich, glossy black; somewhatmoreacid' than some of theothers, but also more highly flavored.'' The illustration is from a photograph of fruit in our fields, season of '94. The public are tired of fancy sketches and want things true to life. The originator says: ''One acre of the Ohio, four years old, pro- duced 70 bushels of berries, and we regard that as a satisfactory crop ; yet the Palmer, alongside' of it, with plants of the same age, yielded 120 bushels per acre, a difference of 50 bushels per acre.*' 50 cts. per doz., -?i per 50, $ per 100. Hilbora. A variety from Canada, where it is esteemed for its hardiness and productiveness. It has proved the most productive and profitable of all at the Geneva, X. Y., Experiment Station. 50 cts. per doz., $2 per 100. Kansas. For years fruit growers have been wishing for a blackcap as large as the Gregg, but without its bloom, and to ripen a week or 10 days earlier, and now we have it in the Kansas. A very heavy, stocky grower of the Gregg type ; exceedingly productive of very large black berries; fine grained, solid and showy. Ripens about with the Older. It is hard
