Variety Studies : Strawberries 



Gen. Warren: An extra early and extremely large, shapely berry, of 

 superb quality, a vigorous grower and a productive plant. A seedling of 

 of the famous Marshall and equal to it in size, color and quality and fully 

 ten days earlier. We believe this new variety will command a premium 

 for its extra high quality and loveliness, coupled with size and productive- 

 ness. 



North Shore : A very strong late staminate variety that is very pro- 

 ductive, of extra large bright colored berries of good quality. It has 

 proved a grand poUinizer for our best Pistillate varieties, as Sample, Bubach 

 and Haverland. 



Commoiiwealth : Very large handsome crimson berry of extra quality, 

 very productive, strong staminate and extremely late. 



Howard' s 4. Avery promising seedling, vigorous plant, large conical 

 berry, of good quality, productive and late. 



Raspberries 



Cardinal : An extra large berry, of a bright red color, piquant acid 

 flavor. The plant is a very large, strong grower. Cane, 8-12 ft., has 

 proved to be very productive and profitable. 



Herbert: For size, quality, productiveness, vigor, hardiness, great 

 claims have been made and after a limited trial we are glad to say it seems 

 to fulfill all of them. 



Wellesley : The very best and largest extra early Black Cap grown. 

 Superb in quality, very productive, vigorous and perfectly hardy. As the 

 plants are very deep rooted and such vigorous growers it stands the drought 

 better than any variety grown. Its wonderful productiveness and extra 

 size and quality with handsome fruit that ripens with the earliest makes it 

 in my opinion the most valuable Black Raspberry known to growers. 



Currants 



Steven^ s Superb : In this new variety we have the ideal currant. The 

 plant is very vigorous, a rank grower, thick heavy foliage and excessively 

 prolific, of long shouldered bunches with good neck for picking. Berries 

 of the very largest of all known varieties, of a brilliant crimson color, very 

 attractive on the table, or in the market baskets while the quality is certainly 

 of the very best of all red varieties. This new seedling combines more 

 excellent qualities than any one I have tried.
