SUMMIT, 



ST7]?IMIT (Pi.— A maguificent berry of im- 

 mense size and regular form, handsome, moderately 

 firm and of excellent quality. It requires heavy soil 

 and high culture in order to insure productiveness, 

 otherwise the yield will be light as it has evi- 

 dently descended from the foreign species. Season 

 late to very late. Doz. 50c: 100, S-2.50: 1<X»0. $15.00. 



Cohanziek; (P/.— Plant of moderate growth 

 (on heavy soili and wonderfully prolific. Berries ex- \J 

 eeedingly dark, of high rich flavor; fairly Arm. a few 

 large and a great many medium and smaU ones. The 

 plant presents unmistakable evidence of foreign 

 blood and indications of weakness. Doz. 50c; 100, 

 S2.50: 1000, S15.00. 



"^•sj JESSIE. — Presents marked evidence of foreign 

 blood and its foliage gives indication of weakness 

 like that of Great American. The berry is of goo^\, 

 size, moderately firm, not so much so as TTilson but 

 similar to Crescent in that respect and of better qual- 

 ity. It is said to be exceedingly productive, and is 

 warmly praised by those who have seen it in bearing 

 on the grounds of the originator. It has not ye^ 

 fruited at the Monmouth Nursery. Doz. $1.00; ICO, 

 S5.00; 1000. S-10.00. 



BE L. :»I OIVT.— Very distinct,being of long form, 

 dark color and glossy surface; very handsome. Flesh 

 dark, rich and highly flavored, and of flrm. meaty 

 consistency. Plant of strong growth. Has not been 

 fully tested but indicates a lack of productiveness. 

 Its firmness and keeping qualities are remarkable 



Hofliuau's Seedling.— An accidental seed- 

 ling found by Mr. Hoffman, of Charlestown, S.C., and 

 has been disseminated to some extent. It will at 



once take its 

 place as the 

 leading berry of 

 the South when 

 known, and is 

 now being ex- 

 tensively plant- 

 ed for shipment 

 to Northern 

 markets. "Its 

 extra earliness, 

 large size, great 

 productiveness , 

 fine flavor and 

 good shipping 

 qualities have 

 proved it to be 

 without excep- 

 tion, the most 

 profitable berry 

 for Southern 

 growers.'" 



The Hoffman Seedling was awarded the first prize 

 at the South Carolina State Agriculttiral Fair the 

 judges recommending it as "having everything re- 

 quisite for a superior berry; in fact, we don't think 

 it can have a superior." Doz. 25c: 100, $1.00: 1000, 

 $5.00.

Jewell (P).— We have been disappointed in this 

 bei ry which has made with us but a feeble growth, 

 whilst the yield was light. The berries are fine, 

 handsome and good but except on heavy soil, well 

 fertilized, it is altogethf-r too unproductive to be 

 profitable. It may do oetter as it grows older, and 

 has perhaps done so on other soils and locations. 

 Midseason. Doz. 50c; 100, $2.50; 1000. $15.00. 



3Ia mill o til. — Originated in New Jersey, and 

 claimed to be "the largest berry ever put upon the 

 market. Some of the berries weigh as much as one 

 and one-quarter ounces each."' Doz. 75c; 100, $-4.00; 

 1000. $30.lX"i. 



and should make it valuable 

 1000, $10.00. 



Itaska (P).— "A seedUng of Manchester fertil- 

 ized with Seneca Queen under glass. A most re- 

 markable grower and immensely productive out- 

 yielding Crescent or Wilson and ripening its fruit to 

 the last. Size averaging larger than Crescent, qual- 

 ity very best with different flavor from any other va- 

 riety. Beauty of fruit and its evenness of ripening 

 add to Its great value. Time of ripening, just as 

 Crescent begins to fall." Doz. $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



Oliio (Pi.— Evidently a seedling of Kentucky; 

 very late, a rampant grower and a great yielder. 

 Fruit very attractive in the crate and owing to its 

 .ffreat productiveness and extreme lateness a very 

 profitable variety for market. Mr. M. J. Green, of the 

 Ohio Experimental Station says: "The Ohio is the 

 most productive late berry yet seen. For three years 

 it has produced twice as much as the Kentucky. Doz. 



Doz. 50c; 100, $2.00;^50c; 100, $2.00; 1000. $10.00. 



Anna Forest. — From Ross County, Ohio. 

 Claimed to be the largest variety in the world. Plant 

 vigorous and healthy; not yet fruited. Blossom per- 

 fect. Doz. $1.0«.1; 100. $5.00. 



Sunapee.— An absolute falliu-e. I regard it as 

 worthless, being without a single redeeming feature, 

 even that of good quality, the strongest claim made 

 for It by the introducer. Doz. 25c: 100, $1.00; 1000, 

 $5.00.
