WARFIELD. 
WARFIELD. No.2. (P.) A variety 
that excels in size and yield, beauty 
and firmness, the celebrated Cres- JUCUNDA IMPROVED. 
cent. Quality pleasant sub-acid, very vigorous grower, with 
bright healthy foliage An early variety and one that we highly 
recommend. A decidedly valuable sort for the general grower. 
For healthy, vigorous growth and great productiveness it cannot be 
surpassed. Itis among the first to ripen and among the last to yield 
agood picking. (See cut.) 35¢. per doz., $2.00 per 100. 
JUCUNDA IMPROVED. One of the finest and most attrac- 
tive of strawberries, excellent for the home garden and for 
markets where large, fancy fruit is in demand. It is really 
an improvement upon the old Jucunda, the berries closely 
resembling that old favorite and possessing allits good quali- 
ties, but the plant is as strong, vigorous and free from 
disease as the Wilson. It is, indeed, a grand variety, and 
especially valuable for its large handsome fruit. Medium to 
late. (Seecut.) 35¢. per doz., $2.00 per 100. 
PARRY. For beauty, size, quality and productiveness, this 
variety is unsurpassed; the flavor is very fine, and the 
plants do well in most soils and locations. 30c. per doz., 
$1.50 per 100. 
MICHEL’'S EARLY. This is the only strawberry entitled to 
be called ‘‘early,” being two weeks earlier than any other 
variety. It is a robust, strong grower, rooting deeply, and 
throwing large luxuriant foliage on long stems, with never a 
trace of rust or mildew. It yields bountifully, being as produc- 
tive as the Crescent; berries medium to large, handsome regular 
form, color bright scarlet. 30c. per doz., $1.50 per 100. 
How they are grown. 
The Blackberries we offer are all strong Root Cutting plants 
which are vastly superior to the ‘‘sucker plants” so largely sold. 
The varieties offered are the very best onthemarket. For garden 
culture Blackberries should be planted in rows five feet apart with 
three feet between the plants in the rows. Jf wanted by mail, 
postage must be added at the rate of 10c. per doz. 
EARLY HARVEST. The earliest blackberry except Early King. 
The berries are not of the largest size, but very uniform and of a 
bright glossy blackness that renders them extremely enticing. 
For the South its value can scarcely be overestimated, and its 
early ripening brings it into market at a time when it has no 
competitors. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 
Our Prices this Season are lower than ever.

ERIE. The most popular of all the standard black- 
berries. The canes are of ironclad hardiness, of the 
strongest growth, free from rust, double blossom 
and all other diseases, and wonderfully productive, 
bending the robust canes to the greund with the 
weight of fruit. The berry is of the very largest 
size, exceeding the Wilson, Kittatinny or Lawton, of 
excellent quality, handsomeand firm. Early. 60c. per 
doz., $4.00 per 100. 
LAWTON. An old favorite, esteemed for its produc- 
tiveness and large size. Delicious when fully ripe, but 
turns black in advance of ripening. Medium to late. 
Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 per 100. 
WILSON JUNIOR. Takes the place of the old Wil- 
son’s Early; it possesses all its good qualities and is 
hardier and more productive, combining size, earliness 
and productiveness with the fine appearance and 
market properties of that variety. Tie fruit in all 
respects fully equals that of its parent, Wilson’s Early, 
which it has now completely superseded; holds its 
bright color and carries well to market. It proves 
entirely hardy in New Jersey, withstanding the winters here 
without injury, quite unprotected. Price, 50c. per doz., $3.00 
per 100.

A few words about growing them. 
Plant in rows four feet apart, and the plants three feet apart in 
the rows. So soon as the leaves turn yellow and begin to fall, 
remove all the old wood and cut back the young shoots a third of 
their length—cutting to the ground enough of these to admit air 
and light into the bush freely. When the currant worm appears, 
it can be exterminated by dissolving powdered white hellebore in 
the proportion of an ounce toa pail of water, and applied with a 
syringe upon the leaves. See our offer of insecticides on last pages. 
The 1-year plants can be sent by mail if 10c. per doz. additional is 
added. The 2-year plants are too large for mailing. 
FAY’S PROLIFIC. Has fully sustained the broad claims which 
were made for it by the disseminator upon its introduction; and 
it is decidedly the best red currant we have. It has 
been widely planted and has given general satisfaction. 
The bush is a strong grower, wonderfully prolific, and 
comes into bearing early. Fruit large, bright red, and 
of good flavor, and less acid than Cherry, which it is 
rapidly superseding. Those who want a profitable red 
currant and do not plant this variety are missing a 
valuable opportunity. 1-year, $1.25 per doz., $7.00 per 
100; 2-year, $1.50 per doz., $10,00 per 100. 
LARGE RED CHERRY. The most popular market 
sort, and uniformly the largest of all red currants 
except Fay’s Prolific. Bunches large, berries very 
large, bright, sparkling crimson, beautiful, very acid. 
Bushes of rugged, vigorous growth and only moderately produc- 
tive. $1.00 per doz., $6,00 per 100. 
| WHITE GRAPE. The largest and decidedly the best white 
variety, and one of the best of any for the home garden. 
Bunch large and long; berry large, handsome, translucent 
white, and of best quality, being less acid than others. Bush 
free grower and very productive. This is a splendid variety for 
table use by reason of its beauty and fine flavor, forming a lovely 
contrast to the red varieties. $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100, 
BLACK NAPLES. A fine black currant and a general favorite. 
$1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100.
