The Tingle Nursery Co., Pittsville, Md. 17 

COOPER. A very vigorous variety. Fruit is very large, 
bright red and of excellent quality. A beautiful berry and one 
of the best for the grower who has a local market for big berries. 
DR. BURRILL. Very similar to Senator Dunlap. Excellent 
for canning and very delicious for table use. 
EARLY JERSEY GIANT. Fruit of very high quality; ripens 
early. Color bright red and very large in size. Strong grower. 
GANDY. This is one of the old favorites and a favorite 
with many growers for an extra late shipping berry. Does best 
in low, springy land as it needs plenty of moisture during fruit- 
ing season. Berries are large and of fine quality, bright red 
with a very large green calyx. 
GIBSON. This is another old standard variety that has 
proven its worth many times over. A vigorous grower and 
makes a fine fruiting bed. Fine for local market, home use and 
are excellent for canning and preserving. A midseason variety. 
HAVERLAND. Many growers still prefer Haverland as a 
midseason variety and in some sections it is really good, but 
some of the newer varieties have taken its place in many sections. 
Blossoms are imperfect and must have a perfect flowered variety 
planted with it. The berries are large, light red, and the plants 
produce immense quantities of them but not solid enough for 
shipment to long distance markets. 
HOWARD 17 If not the same as Premier it is so near like 
it that one description will answer for both varieties. 
KLONDYKE. Early. Berries uniform in shape and size. 
Dark red, mild and delicious, very handsome. Plants make a 
good growth. Foliage light green. One of the best shippers. 
LUPTON. A mighty good late shipping berry, very large 
and attractive and will arrive on the distant markets in good 
shape. Their appearance causes them to bring good prices but 
the eating qualities are not nearly up to most other varieties. 
MISSIONARY. Early. A strong grower. Among the earliest 
to ripen; very productive; berries are well colored, firm and 
large. Good shipper. Especially suited to the South. 
PARSONS’ BEAUTY. . A description of Gibson will answer 
for this too. Not much difference if any in them. 
The very best early variety and the biggest 
PREMIER. money-maker of the early varieties for the 
past several years. Will do well in most soils but the better 
the soil and the better the care you give them the larger the 
profit they will return. Very productive, ripens early and bears 
through a very long season. Plant growth very strong and 
vigorous, making a fine fruiting bed under the most trying 
weather conditions and as this variety is almost frost proof 
there is hardly a chance of disappointment if you plant Premier. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. Was for a long time considered one 
of the best berries for a beginner and is still a good one, but 
some of the newer varieties are taking that place from it. Plants 
are good growers, produce heavy crops of bright red berries, 
fair in quality and of medium size. 
TENNESSEE PROLIFIC. Midseason. Fruit is very large, 
bright red and attractive. Good for nearby markets. One of 
the heaviest croppers we know. 
WM. BELT. Until Chesapeake came on the market Wm. 
Belt was considered the standard of excelence in quality, still 
as good as ever but we consider Chesapeake better. The fruit 
is somewhat irregular in shape but very attractive. 
FALL BEARING VARIETIES 
CHAMPION AND PROGRESSIVE. These are both the 
same or so near alike one description will answer for both. 
The Progressive was really the starting of growing the fall- 
bearers commercially as a real money crop. The berries are 
not so large as those of the Mastodon but many prefer their 
flavor to that of Mastodon. They are still good under whatever 
name you grow them or regardless of how many other varieties 
you are now growing. 
MASTODON This is, no doubt, the best of the ever- 
* bearers at the present time. Mastodon 
produces lots of great big, delicious berries that are firm, bright 
red and have a beautiful green cap which makes them look much 
more attractive when packed for market. Plant growth is very 
vigorous and for a grower who has a good local market or one 
within trucking distance we recommend Mastodon for a sure, 
quick money crop. They always bring good prices and many 
growers report profits of several hundred dollars per acre the 
Same season planted. If you do not want to grow the fall 
bearers for market you surely do for your own table use.
