Aroma (Per). Late. Not quite as late as 
Gandy in the beginning, but will continue 
nearly as long. Bears an immense crop 
of very fine fruit that will stand shipping 
to distant markets. My orders run in 
the millions for the Aroma plants every 
season. Its greatest popularity is in the 
West and Southwest, but it is a good one 
everywhere. Write me for special prices 
on large lots. 
Parsons Beauty (Per). Midseason. This is 
a tremendously productive variety of the 
Haverland type and will do well for any 
local market, but not recommended for 
distant markets unless grown in the North. 
It is a general favorite in the Northern 
states, being one of their heaviest crop- 
pers and is one of my best sellers; plants 
strong and vigorous, free from rust, and 
berries average large and flavor fine. I 
have known them to pick 12,000 quarts to 
the acre. 
Paul Jones (Imp). Midseason. In the Paul 
Jones we have another very popular va- 
riety. The originator claims it to be the 
most productive variety grown. I have 
only fruited it one season and find it to 
be very productive and quality fine, size 
medium to large, of good, firm quality. It 
is a general favorite in the state of 
Delaware, which speaks much for it. I 
am well pleased with the Paul Jones here 
on the grounds. I have a very fine stock 
of plants this season and hope to see 
more of its behavior, as the demand the 
past season was so great I sold almost 
out before I knew it. 
Early to medium. Hails 
from Iowa. Another great plant maker 
resembling the wild berry. Has a wild 
flavor also and is recommended for family 
use orly, as the fruit is smal} and very 
soft and would be no good as a shinper. 
Medium to late. 
Very large, moderately firm, productive, 
resembling the Haverland in appearance, 
only difference fruit is larger. 
Late. Dark red, top shaped, 
good cropper, too well known to need de- 
scription. One that we sell out on every 
year. One of the very best imperfect 
varieties. 
Late. Dark red, somewhat 
varied in shape, large to very large, flavor 
very rich, very productive, good plant 
maker. I recommend some other perfect 
flowering sort set with Glen Mary to se- 
cure best results. Parsons Beauty or 
Aroma are excellent to set with it. 
Norwood (Per blossom). Midseason. This 
‘ 
berry has been widely advertised and needs 
no description from me. It is supposed 
to be a cross between the Marshall and 
Corsican. The Norwood is a very fancy 
variety with me, doing its best under 
good cultivation. The plants are large 
and healthy, making a moderate supply. 
Not very productive, but every berry is a 
good one. The flavor is good enough for a 
king. I recommend it where a strictly 
FANCY variety is wanted or for family 
use. Some catalogs claim that four ber- 
ries have filled a quart box. I have not 
grown any that size, but have them as 
large as I desire. On account of being 
a moderate plant maker the plants have 
to sell very high. I have a fine stock 
this season.

Improved Marshal! (Per blossom). Midsea- 
son to late. I purchased this strain of 
Marshall three years ago from an agent 
canvassing through this territory. I find 
that it does not resemble the old Mar- 
shall but very little, but it is a far more 
Mascot, one of the largest and latest. 
valuable berry with me than the Mar- 
shall that has been grown here before. 
I describe it as follows: A moderate plant 
maker of choice, strong, well-rooted plants 
of the multiple type. Fruit large to very 
large; colored through and through: flavor 
as fine as you could wish; very firm. I 
class it as a strictly fancy variety. For 
the size of the fruit I know of nothing 
that is more productive, and while we have 
had two dry seasons since I have been 
fruiting it, it has never failed to bear 
an extra heavy crop of fine fruit. I have 
discarded the old Marshall altogether for 
this one and recommend my customers to 
give it a trial. 
Fendall (Imp). Early to late. This 
of the longest season varieties I have 
ever grown. I picked berries from them 
the 15th of May and 8rd of July the same 
season. Good plant maker entirely free 
from rust. Fruit large to very large when 
properly fertilized. Flavor mild. One of 
my best productive sorts. I recommend 
setting an early and a late variety with 
is one
