 BUBACH (No. 5) 



P.— A wonderful berry in 

 vle:or 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 rare 

 quality. It Is exceedingly 

 productive and very valu- 

 able for a near-by market. 

 Its greatest defect lies in the lack of firmness of its 

 fruit. Mldseason. Doz., 25c; 100, COo; 1000, $3.00. 

 Capt. Jack (Burt).— An old popular variety, 

 especially at the West, and re- 

 markable for Its productiveness 

 and firmness of fruit. The ber- 

 ries are of only medium size, 

 uniform in shape, pale scarlet 

 color, fair quality, and exceed- 

 ingly Arm. Plant vigorous, 

 healthy and productive. Plants 

 must be kept from matting by 

 cutting the runners to have it do well. Mldseason. 

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

 €HAS. DOWNING.-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. Mldseason. Doz., 25c; 100. 50c; 1000. $2.50. 



Southern market variety much 

 valued for Northern shipment. 

 The berries are of good size, 

 handsome and firm; the plant 

 is a rapid, vigorous grower, 

 and with us fairly productive. 

 It does well on light soil. 

 Early to mldseason. Its good 

 point are firmness and produc- 

 tiveness, and it has a fine color 

 ripening evenly. 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 for best 

 results should not be allowed to 

 mat closely. The berries are of 

 medium size, ralher poor quality 

 and a little soft for shipment. 

 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,

Eureka (P).— A very productive variety of the 

 Bubach class of berries, but 

 of better form and of bet- 

 ter quality. Tiie plant is ^ 

 healthy and vigorous. Ber- ft^f^J'^K^^^^^ 

 ries large, handsome, """'^ avK'(i. \ J\5^>i 



erately firm and 

 quality. For market 

 a profitable variety. Mid- 

 season. This is really a 

 fine and valuable berry and 

 we are surprised it does not 

 become better known and popular. 

 $1.0C; 1000, $3.00. 



GANBY (First Season).— The best late 

 berry yet introduced and the 

 leading late variety with fruit 

 growers all over the country. 

 Its great merits have been 

 quickly recognized and there 

 are few varieties that have 

 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^o 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)-()n good rich soil it is one of 

 the best and is profitable by reason of its great pro- 

 ductiveness and earliness. It is not sufficiently firm 

 for distant shirmfnt. Berries large, handsome and 

 good, though not of the b^si quality, long in shape 

 and of a bright glossy crimson. It has been largely 

 planted and has given much satisfaction for market. 

 Early, Dcz,, 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00. 



Ilofl'niaii's Seedling.— This is taking the 

 place of the old Neunau's Prolific 

 at the South for shipment to 

 northern markets and is regarded 

 by many as the most profitable 

 berry for southern growers. The /( 

 fruit is of good size and exceed- /' ^ 

 ingly firm. 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 disappointment. 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. Mldseason. Doz., 25c; 100,50c; 1000, $2.5a
