184 SMALL FRUITS. 



Jessie, S. Dark red, conical, medium to late, 

 larger than above and of better quality, not so good 

 a shipper and not so productive, though in the 

 Mississippi valley it is considered one of the best. 



Parker Earle, S. Named in honor of Mr. 

 Earle of Texas, who originated it. It is one of the 

 most promising of the newer sorts, and has become 

 standard with many of our best growers. 



Ivike the Jessie it ripens uniformly and colors all 

 over alike. It is claimed to have produced 12,000 

 quarts to the acre. In color and size much like the 

 B. Wood, but ripens later, and is a better shipper. 



Capt. Jack, S. This is one of the older tried 

 sorts, and is very good, and can be used with good 

 effect as a fertilizer of most of the desirable varie- 

 ties. Is dark crimson, medium size, very good 

 quality, an excellent shipper, but not as prolific as 

 the B. Wood or Earle. As it cannot be expected 

 that the plant which furnishes its own pollen can 

 have the ability to also compete with those females 

 who have only the fruit to produce, we intersperse 

 these as has been described, and the following list 

 is believed to be sufficient for all purposes. 



Warfield, P. The only berry that has been able 

 to dislodge the Crescent in productiveness, and as 

 it is of better quality it is for all purposes, where it 

 has been tried, its superior. Deep red, colors all 

 over, very conical, medium to large, and holds out 

 in size well to the last picking. This and the B. 

 Wood will make an excellent combination for all 

 purposes.
