  readily 
  

   adapts

  It

  is 
  becoming

  Given

  you 
  will

  it 
  the 
  

   most

  Like 
  the

  it 
  is 
  about 
  frost-proof

   bears

  the 
  plants

  The

   large

  These 
  points 
  of 
  merit 
  enable 
  

   it 
  to 
  command 
  the 
  highest 
  price 
  possible 
  for 
  berries. 
  The 
  berry 
  is 
  very 
  firm, 
  

   so 
  you 
  can 
  ship 
  it 
  to 
  distant 
  markets.

  being 
  somewhat 
  irregu- 
  

   lar

  having 
  an 
  attractive 
  cap, 
  and 
  the 
  berries 
  themselves 
  are 
  a 
  

   bright, 
  glossy 
  red, 
  which 
  makes 
  them 
  very 
  handsome. 
  On 
  any 
  market 
  where 
  

   quality 
  and 
  appearance 
  predominate 
  among 
  the 
  buyers 
  the 
  Wm.

  will 
  

   prove 
  a 
  good 
  money-maker 
  for 
  the 
  grower. 
  It 
  does 
  best 
  in 
  the 
  middle

   northern 
  states. 
  It 
  can 
  be 
  depended 
  on 
  for 
  plant 
  growth 
  and 
  productiveness. 
  

   We 
  recommend 
  it

  a 
  high

  berry.
