LIVINGSTON (Per.)— Is a seedling of the Warfield, poUenized by Jes-ie. It is a vigorous, 



healthy plant, with very thick, leathery, dark green leaves that never damp off under mulch. 



It forms splendid crowns and roots very deep.^ ^"'~~""~""''^'^^"~''~''^V^Ar<^;^TAf>V^dnn~^

JESSIE (Per.)— Early, very large; where it succeeds it is a profitable berry. It is an old 

 variety and needs no description. 



JOHNSON (Per.)- Eipens with Mitchel's Early in point of time. Soon after blossom "th« 

 stem curves and the fruit turns down, thus getting the protection of the cap. The plant is per- 

 fectly healthy and is believed to be absolutely rust proof. Berrv is much larger than Hoffman. 

 Deep r^d in coloi. glossy, firm, sweet and ol excellent flavor. The plant resembles Hoffman. It 

 makes runners freely, and equally as productis'e as Crescent. It must be kept thinned for good 

 ifuit
