Improved Christiania. A very handsome variety. The fruits are 
somewhat uneven in shape and very deeply ribbed, only slightly 
netted ; of a handsome black green color. The flesh is very 
deep, and though quite solid, is melting in character and of a 
peculiarly rich flavor. It is medium early and a reliable all-

Netted Gem. One of the earliest varieties, generally coming into 
the New York markets right after Jenny Lind. Our stock is un- 
surpassed in purity, and is selected to an oval type which has 
proved of great advantage. It is very uniform in size, beauti- 
fully netted, flesh deep, fairly solid, but deliciously melting in 
character. The color of fleshis rich green. Itis very productive, 
and a grand sort for general early use. (See cut.) 5c. pkt.,

(known also as Osage). This is, in our 
opinion, one of the very finest red-fleshed varieties in cultiva- 
tion. The fruits are medium to large in size, slightly oval 
in shape, and handsomely netted. The flesh is extremely and 
uniformly deep, of a rich salmon color, of peculiarly firm 
texture, yet thoroughly melting, having no stringy character 
whatever. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 25c. 14 Ib., 80e. lb. 
The fruit is 
small, round-flat in shape, deeply but evenly ribbed, of a most 
attractive greenish gold color when ripe. It is safe to say that 
its flavor is unsurpassed by any, and for private use none is 
better, as it is an enormous cropper, and bears for a longer 
season than any sort. 5c. pkt., 10c. 02z., 25c. 14 Ib., 80e. lb.
