 If to be sent by mail add 15 cents per 100; at 1000 rates by express only. 



Bidwell.— Early, handsome and good. For all 

 who have heavy soil, one of the best as an early 

 berry. Large, conical, bright crimson, glossy, excel- 

 lent in quality, only moderately firm. Plant a good 

 grower and, under good culture, productive. Its only 

 fault lies in its blossoms blasting instead of setting 

 fruit— this defect manifesting itself especially on 

 thin soil and in dry unfavorable seasons to a very 

 decided degree. Doz. 25c; 100, 50c; 1000. $3.00. 

 BUBACH (No. 5) P. -A wonderful berry in 

 vigor of plant and yield of 

 fruit even under careless 

 culture. It still maintains 

 its reputation for large size 

 and great yield. The fruit 

 is, in many instances, very 

 large but not of first rate 

 quality. It is exceedingly 



Felton.— A remarkably strong growing plant 

 with healthy foliage. It is a seedling of Sharpless 

 and the berries are large, somewhat ridged, of bright 

 crimson color and quite firm in texture; quality good. 

 Midseason. Doz., 25c, 100, 50c; 1000, $.3.00. 



Florence (CTara).— Requires heavy, cool soil 

 for its best development. The plant is a good grower 

 and fairly productive; the fruit is large and hand- 

 some, bright crimson color, regular shape, firm and 

 of good quality. Its foliage will be apt to rust under 

 hot suns hence adapted only to cool locations. Doz., 

 25c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00. 



OANDY (First Season).— The best late straw- 

 berry yet intaoduced and the 

 leading late variety with fruit 

 growers all over the country. 

 Its great merits have been 

 quickly recognized and there 



productive and very valu- t are few varieties that have 



able for a near-by market. 

 Its greatest defect lies in the lack of firmness of its 

 fruit. Midseason. Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



€apt. Jack (Burt).~An old popular variety, 

 especially at the W6st, and remarkable for its pro- 

 ductiveness and firmness of fruit. The berries are of 

 only medium size, uniform in shape, pale scarlet 

 color, fair quality and exceedingly firm. Plant vig- 

 orous, healthy and productive. Plants must be kept 

 from matting by cutting the runners to have It do 

 well. Midseason. Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 

 CHAS. DOWNINCi.-A well-known and pop- 

 ular family berry of fine flavor, 

 great productiveness and gen- 

 eral adaptability to all soils and 

 locations. Of late years its fol- 

 iage has rusted badly which has 

 impaired its value. A peculiar- 

 ity of the variety lies in the fact 

 that a bed of it is usually more 

 fruitful the second year of bear- 

 ing than the first— and unlike other sorts it will re- 

 main fruitful and fine without renewing for several 

 years. Midseason. Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



CRESCENT (P).— Very few varieties are so 

 immensely productive as is this and none succeed 

 better under such general neglect. The plant is 

 most vigorous, and foi- best results should not be al- 

 lowed to mat closely. The berries are of medium 

 size, rather poor quality and a little soft tor ship- 

 ment. Bright scarlet color and quite attractive; a 

 profitable sort for market on account of its great 

 productiveness and easy culture Early. Doz., 25c; 

 100, 50c; 1000, $2.25. 



Cloud (P),— A southern market variety much 

 valued for northern shipment. The berries are of 

 good size, handsome and firm; the plant is a rapid, 

 vigorous grower but, with us. only fairly productive. 

 It does well on light soil. Early to midseason. Doz., 

 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



Eureka (P).— Avery productive variety of the 

 Bubach class of berries, but of better form and of bet- 

 ter quality. The plant is healthy and vigorous. Ber- 

 ries large, handsome, moderately firm and of good 

 quality. For market it is a profitable variety. Mid- 

 season. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; lOCO, $4.00, 



so rapidly become a leading! 

 and popular sort. As a choice 

 late sort it is an entire suc- 

 cess. In size and firmness it 

 Is all that can be desired, and 

 in vigor of plant and growth, 

 it is eminently satisfactory, but under ordinary cul- 

 ture its yield is not so great as many expect. It is 

 not essential to have heavy soil but to produce best 

 results it is necessary to apply fertilizers liberally. 

 The berries are large, very uniform in size and shape, 

 of bright crimson color, handsome and showy, very 

 firm and of good quality. Late to very late. Doz., 

 25c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $3.00. 



Haverland (P).— Exceedingly productive and 

 the fruit is large and fine. On good rich soil it is one 

 of the best and is profitable by reason of its great 

 productiveness and earllness. It is not sufficiently 

 firm for very far distant shipment but excellent fora 

 near market. Plaint healthy and vigorous. Berries 

 large, handsome and good, though not of the best 

 quality, rather long in shape and of a bright glossy 

 crimson. It has been largely planted and has given 

 much satisfaction, having been found very profitable 

 for market. Early. Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 100, $3.00. 



Hoflman'fii Seedling.— This is taking the 

 place of the old Neunan's Prolific 

 at the South for shipment to 

 northern markets and is regard- 

 ed by many as the most profitable 

 berry for southern growers. The /< 

 fruit is of good size and exceed- / | 

 ingly Arm. Plant a strong grower 

 and immensely productive. Of 

 but little value at the North, as 

 the fruit is both small and of poor 

 quality here. Early. Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



Jessie.— Except on certain soils and locations 

 this variety gives disappoinment. The plant grows 

 well and is sufficiently robust but it is generally un- 

 productive and the foliage rusts somewhat under a 

 hot sun. The berries are large and beautiful and of 

 good quality. It requires rich soil and good culture 

 and will suit the amateur much better than the mar- 

 ket grower. Midseason. Doz.. 25c; 100. 50c; 1000, $2.50.
