Excerpt from Palmyra, N. Y. And High Point, N. C. Nurseries, Descriptive and Retail Catalogue: For Fall of 1885 and Spring of 1886

Daniel Boone. - A new sort that gives us great satisfaction. We have planted largely of it. Matthew Crawford, of Ohio, says of this sort: Another year's experience only confirms me in the Opinion that it is a very valuable variety. In this most unfavorable season it was our main dependence. -its quality is bette1 than I represented, and its color is all that can be desired - bright red with yellow seeds. It is very easily picked and holds out in size better than most varieties.

T. C. Robinson, an experienced fruit grower of Canada, having gone to Rochester to see the J ame: Vick, stopped at Mr. Little's on his way home, to see one of the best collections in Canada, and writes as follows concerning the Daniel Boone: Daniel Boone certainly impresses me as a fine and productive variety, and I prepose propagating it as fast as I can, as it must become largely in demand. Many person: would fancy its form rather than even the Mrs. Garfield, and all would pronounce it handsome in this respect while it is superior in brightness of color as far as _the very moist season would permit me to judge. I] firmness I think it will compare favorably with Wilson. In productiveness and size it appears to excel thi Bidwell and Seneca Queen close by with equal treatment, and any variety that can beat these two in bet] these points must be truly remarkable.

Charles Carpenter, of Ohio, who is too well known to need any introduction, gives his opinion of thi Daniel Boone as follows The Manchester is very prolific, of large size and good quality. The Danie Boone is of larger size and will yield as many quarts, while the flavor is fully equal to the Manchester.

Mr. Little, of Canada, speaks in the most glowing terms of the Daniel Boone, and says: 30 berrie filled a quart heaped up like a cone. 25 cents per dozen, per 100.
