BALTIMORE—tThe Baltimore is the same 
season as Aroma, and picks a long season; 
fruit is large and firm and good quality, good 
plant-maker, holds fruit well off the ground 
and is easily picked. See illustration on page. 
While I believe that the Baltimore is making 
good everywhere I can truly recommend it to 
my Northern customers, or any one looking 
for a large fancy variety for either home or 
commercial purposes. 
BRANDYWINE (Per).—This has proved 
so satisfactory with all who have grown it 
that it is consequently in large demand and 
of great value by reason of its productiveness, 
large size, beauty and good qwality, which 
renders it especially desirable for the home 
garden. The berries are glossy crimson, very 
handsome, firm and solid, excellent in quality, 
with fine aromatic flavor. The berries color 
all over evenly and retain a good size to the 
last, ripening in succession, and every berry 
maturing fully. Plant is remarkably vigor- 
ous, hardy and exceedingly productive and 
its foliage is long, clean and healthy. The 
amateur will delight in such a superb variety 
which with his good soil and careful culture 
will give him magnificent returns. Mid-sea- 
son to late. It is also an excellent pollenizer 
for mid-season to late pistillates. 
CLIMAX—For commercial purposes 1 
Know of no early variety that has proved 
more profitable. It has a record of 20,000 
quarts per acre; is a few days earlier than 
Klondyke and will produce three quarts to 
—— a 
BALTIMORE 
the Klondyke’s one. About same size berry 
as Klondyke, carrying qualities not as good 
as Klondyke in the South, but is firm enough 
in the North to be classed as a good shipper. 
The sale of plants is always large and seldom 
have enough to supply my trade. 
CARDINAL (Imp.)—Mid-season too late. 
Size, medium, quality good, productive, good 
plant-maker.
