pick three quarts of large, well ripened berries, a photo of which we
obtained on reaching the city and will appear in the Horticulturist.

Of the June-bearing varieties No. 3, a cross between Senator Dunlap and
Pocomoke, would seem to surpass anything else we saw as to strength of
plant and health of foliage. As to its fruiting ability, will refer to
the display made at the last summer meeting of the society, which was so
much admired. We have no doubt there is a great future for No. 3, as has
been for its illustrious parent, the Dunlap. Next we went over to the
raspberry field containing, it seemed, thousands of strong, straight,
healthy plants, which would have to be seen to be appreciated and only
then when in fruiting. No. 4 took our special attention. The canes were
especially clean, well branched and healthy--a cross between Loudon and
King. Many others seem to be very promising.

Next we were shown a variety of everbearing raspberry from which we
indulged in ripe fruit of good size and flavor and which it is hoped
will be as valuable as the everbearing strawberry. Of the thousands of
everbearing seedlings selections had been made of about 100 which were
fine looking plants, well cultivated and free from disease.

We were then shown some hundreds of wild peach seedlings, seedlings of
Burbank plums, thousands of hybrid plums of all ages, and a plat of
thousands of plum seedlings which will be disposed of to nurserymen this
