 ment. A good grower, productive and, like Charles 

 Downing, succeeds in all soil and under almost all

The great productiveness of this vari- 

 exceedingly profitable for a local oi" near- 

 d also very desirable for the home gar\^ 

 den. It requires heavy soil, however, and is then very 

 satisfactory. The plant is a strong grower with good 

 foliage and the fruit is large, long, with rounded apex, 

 of a bright, glossy crimson, good quality and moder- 

 ately firm. Early. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1,000, $3.50. 



Hoffman. Valuable for market growing at the South, 

 where it is popular and one of the most profitable. At\ 

 the North it is inferior to many other sorts. The plant ^ 

 is vigorous and productive of medium sized berries of 

 bright scarlet color and very firm. Early. Doz., 25c; 

 100, 75c; 1,000, $8.00. 



Jucunda Improved. An improvement upon the old fa- 

 vorite, J ucunda ; possessing a plant of much more vigor 

 and endurance with fruit equally as fine. The berries 

 are large, regular and uniform, firm and solid, rich

 the finest for the home garden and pi ofitable for mar- 

 kets where large, fancy fruit is in demand. Midseason.

Lovett. By reason 

 of its productiveness, 

 firmness and bright, 

 fresh color, one of 

 the most profitable 

 for market; also de- 

 sii-able for the home 

 garden. The plant is 

 a strong grower, with, 

 clean, bright foliage, ' 

 and excessively pro- 

 ductive. Tiiough not 

 of the very largest 

 size, the berries are 

 still large, uniform 

 bright crimson, firnl* < 

 and of excellent qual- \ ^ 



ity. The berry colors 

 up all over before being fully ripe and when picked in 

 this condition is unexcelled for shipping and will keep 

 iu fine condition for a long time. It ripens about sec- 

 ond early and continues long in bearing. Doz., 25c; 

 100, 75c; 1,000, $3.00.

 handsome and of good 

 quality . Plant a thrifty 

 grower with clean, 

 bright foliage and under 

 good culture productive.

I^IichePs Early {Osce- 

 ola). Valuable at the 



South for northern shipment. The plant is vigorous, 

 healthy and productive. Berries small to mediimi, 

 bright crimson, firm and of good quality. It is of the 

 Crescent type of berry but not so productive, and it is de- 

 sirable at the North only for its earliness and firmness. 

 Extra early. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1,000, $2.50.

 to us from the Pacific coast, whei-e it is said to bear 

 almost continuously from May to December. With us 

 it bears a fair crop in June and sparingly later in the 

 season. The plant is large and a strong grower; berries 

 large, crimson and of good quality. Doz., 50c; 100, 

 $1.50.

 clined to stool, with bright,

 ries are large?, long, regu- 

 lar and uniform, crimson, 

 moderately firm and good.

 yields enormously. It isf 

 remarkable for its ability 

 to withstand heat and 

 drought and to flourish 

 and bear well on light, dry 

 soil. For vigor of plant, 

 tough, healthy foliage and 

 yield of fruit, is unsur- 

 passed. Doz., 35c; 100, 75c; 

 1,000, $1.50.

 rich soil will give excellent returns. It resembles its 

 parent, Jersey Queen, but is better iu every way and 

 has generally superseded it. The plant is healthy, but

 moderately firm and of good quality. Early to mid- 

 season. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1,000, $4.00.

growers. It does well under ordinary culture and is 

 well adapted to general cultivation. Vigorous grower

 conical, firm and of good flavor. A good variety for 

 the home garden as well as for market. Early. Doz.,
