 extent as to prevent its

 cerning Its behavior in vari- 

 ous parts of the country. 

 Here it is a good grower and 

 moderately productive. Ber- 

 ries are of large size, dark 

 glossy scarlet, and sprightly 

 acid flavor. It is worthy of 

 extended trial. Doz., 35c; 

 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00.

 riety with an unusually strong 

 and vigorous plant and bright* 

 healthy foliage. Fruit large, 

 globular, regular and uni 

 form, beautiful bright scarlet, 

 excellent quality. It is only 

 moderately Arm, and hence 

 not especially adapted for dis- 

 tant shipment, but for local 

 market or the home garden it is unexcelled. Early

 in yield and exceeding it In firm-

 a profitable market sort by reason 

 of its productiveness and firm-

 ing species, being a vigorous 

 grower with fruit larger than 

 the old White Alpine. Berries 

 pure white, of excellent quality, 

 yielding a good crop in June, and 

 on moist soil continues to give 

 fruit in smaller quantities until 

 the ground freezes. For those who desire a vari- 

 ety cf this class, it is very desirable. Doz., 25c; 

 100, $1.00; 1000, §5.00.

 retained for its many good qualities. To obtain 

 best results it should be grown upon rich, heavy

 Gentlemen :— As I expect to plant largely of the 

 peach next spring I wiU want your who^sale cata- 

 logue to select from. Most of the West Michigan

 trees, etc. F. A. Ferree.

 Dear Sirs.— Older No. 2013 received this morn- 

 ing and trees transplanted. A good system of roots 

 to the trees, without bruises or mutilations of 

 either. I can but speak in commendation of the 

 careful packing. A. F. Pahl. 



Renssal.*:r Co., N. Y„ Nov. 15. 1893. 

 Gentlemen :--My order of trees (No. 1660) re- 

 ceived to-day, after being en route 26 days. They 

 opened up as fresh as if just dug from the ground 



and 1 think that bv your admirable system of pack- 

 ing they would have kept for another month. A 

 finer lot of stock I never saw.

 Gentlemen : — I have received my trees and I 

 must say that thev are the finest I have ever re-

 tion of my ordei for strawberry plants. They were 

 excellent in quality ard received in perfect con- 

 dition, as a result of superior packing. I do not 

 anticipate the loss of a single plant.
