ABINGTON— Although a perfect flowered va- 

 riety, it equals the prolific Bubach in yield, is 

 brighter in color and much firmer. Plant of vig- 



orous habit with clean, healthy foliage; berries 

 are so large and attractive and the plants so very 

 prolific it is a variety of great value — especially 

 for market growing. Ripens in midseason. Dozen, 

 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, $3.50. 



BARRYMORE. — A superb variety from Massa- 

 dfyusetts, ripening in midseason. The bluntly 

 conical berries are extremely beautiful, of mam- 

 moth size, of surpassing quality — rich and sugary 

 — and exceptionally firm. The color is rich dark 

 crimson (which it holds unchanged after picked), 

 with glossy surface ; the flesh is red and meaty. 

 Valuable alike for the home garden, for market 

 growing and for exhibition. Awarded a silver 

 medal and three first premiums by the time- 

 honored Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 

 Dozen, 25c.; 100, 75c.; 1,000, $5.00. 



BLACK BEAUTY (P).— "Berry rich, aromatic, 

 Vsweet, firm and free from core. Conical, round, 

 large, even and smooth ; dark red to center and so 

 rich in sugar and essential oils that it will remain 

 sweet when left hanging on the plant several days 

 after being fully ripe. A large, healthy, well- 

 balanced plant of the multiple-crown type, a 

 splendid plant maker and very productive. Sea- 

 son late." This is one of the fig type varieties pro- 

 duced by Mr. Schild, of Michigan, I have fully 

 tested it and pronounce it a very valuable va- 

 riety. The above description of Mr. Schild is en- 

 tirely correct. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, $4.00. 



X i BRANDYWINE.— An old and popular variety 

 \|of general adaptability. The berries are large, 

 " i"oundish-conical, uniform, bright crimson, firm 

 and of good flavor. Plant of vigorous growth and 

 prolific. For good results, it requires deep, rich 

 soil and plenty of manure. Midseason. Dozen, 

 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, $3.50. 



BETHEL . — Described as "immense size, fine 

 shipping qualities, dark red clear to the center, 

 fiavor unsurpassed. Has few equals as a table 

 berry ; a heavy cropper, covering a long bearing 

 season — commencing medium early. The vine is 

 a strong, upright grower, free from rust." It 

 hails from Kent County, Delaware, where it is 

 highly esteemed. Has not fruited with me as 

 yet. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 75c.; 1,000, $5.00. 



CARDINAL (P). — A marvel in vigor and pro- 

 ductiveness, exceptionally firm and very handsome. 

 It is a strictly business berry — gets right down 

 to business at once and keeps at it all the time. 

 The quality is not fine — but it looks so well, 

 yields so well, sells so well and is so easily grown, 

 * it is a most profitable variety. The berries aver- 

 age large and are bluntly conical with a bright 

 green calvx or "burr." Season medium until quite 

 late. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, $3.50. 



CHESAPEAKE.— A superb berry by reason of 

 its large size, uniformity, firmness and superior 

 quality. One of the easiest varieties to pick. 

 Though this variety does not set an immense 

 amount of fruit, yet every blossom makes a berry 

 and each berry may be termed "fancy." It ripens 

 at practically the same time as the Gandy; start- 

 ing three or four days earlier. The berries are 

 all very large and beautiful, so regular in form 

 and size as to suggest being cast from a mold. 

 Of the very highest quality. Demands loamy, 

 fertile soil and high culture. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 

 75c.; 1,000, $5.00. 



I /CHIPMAN, — A variety from Delaware, where 

 M^ is largely grown and has proved exceedingly 

 profitable in New Jersey. Unlike most varieties 



it succeeds well upon light as well as heavy soil; 

 the plants being of strong, upright habit with 

 large glossy leaves on long stems, without spot or 

 blemish. Berries of large size, of the old Bubach 

 type (though it has strongly staminate blossoms), 

 bright red and firm. It may be regarded as a 

 second early variety and the most profitable 

 Strawberry of its season. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 60c.; 

 1,000, $3.50.
