This is said to be the result of careful self ction 

 made from the crossing of the best of two genera- 

 tions of seedlings with the best standard sorts. It 

 gives what promises to be one of the largest and 

 most productive of the early strawberries, ripening 

 ahead of Crescent. It has been fruited for three 

 or four seasons to the great satisfaction of all who 

 have seen it and we think it will do well generally 

 throughout the country. The berries are not only 

 large and high-colored, but also firm. This desir- 

 able property, combined with its early season of 

 ripening, should insure for it a thorough trial. It 

 promises to be an excellent early market sort.

This much-praised variety is disappointing in 

 that it gives promise early in the season which it 

 does not fulfil in its later fruiting. It resembles 

 "Wilson closely in both habit of growth, fruit and 

 foliage but. except under favorable circumstan- 

 ces, is not very productive. Like the Wilson, the 

 berries, though large at first, rapidly dwindle in 

 size after the first picking, under ordinary field 

 culture. They are regular in form, glossy crimson, 

 firm, and of a sprightly acid flavor. On heavy, 

 mcist soil we think it would prove a satisfactory 

 and profitable variety, and it is a valuable and in- 

 teresting variety for the amateur in the home gar- 

 den. Early. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00.

BEDER WOOD. (Racster). — A valuable 

 sort either for home use or 

 market. The fruit is medium 

 in size, of bright color, firm, 

 and excellent in quality, 

 ^ilira® The plant is productive and 

 ^viriV a good grower. T::e foliage 

 rusts somewhat in unfavor- 

 able seasons but it is very 

 satisfactory in some locations 

 as an early market sort, and it will be largely 

 planted. Unfortunately it has been given two 

 names but Beder Wood is undoubtedly the correct 

 one. Early. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $3.00. 



Bessie (P). 



An attractive berry and profita- 

 ble for maiket where it suc- 

 ceeds. The plant is large and 

 thrifty with stooling habit, 

 and clean foliage. The ber- 

 ries are from medium to 

 large, of a dark, glos°y crim- 

 son, uniform in size and 

 shape, firm enough for ordi- 

 nary shipment and of good 

 quality. Early. Doz., 25c; 



100, 75c; 10J0, $4.00. 



BUBACH (No. 5) P. 

 or of plant and abundant 

 yield. The berries are 

 very large but only mod- 

 erately firm and not of 

 first rate quality. Its great 

 productiveness renders it 

 profitable for a near-by 

 market, and i's large size 

 and thrifty plant makes 

 it very satisfactory for 

 the home garden. Midseason. 

 1000. $3 50. 

 v CHAS. DOWNING.-A 

 popular family berry of fine 

 flavor, great productiveness 

 and general adaptability to 

 all soils and locations. Of 

 late years its foliage has rust- E^ c ' 

 ed badly which has impaired 

 its value. Unlike other sorts 

 it will revruiu fruitful and ^4^J&&&^ 

 fine without renewing for "~ 

 several years. No home collection should be- 

 without this flne old sort for few others unite so- 

 many good qualities. Midseason. Doz., 25c; 100.
