PARSONS (Per) 

 — We have in the Par- 

 sons a perfect bJoom- 

 er, berry equally as 

 large and very much 

 of the same shape as 

 Tennessee Prolific, 

 lirmer and a little 

 darker in color and 

 equally as product- 

 ive, as they have 

 been thoroughly 

 tested in our vicinity 

 the past season in a 

 piece of land near us, 

 side by side, and the 

 Parsons gave naore 

 fruit and sold for 

 more money than the 

 Tennessee Prolific by 

 far In growing ber- 

 ries for a commercial 

 purpose you should 

 include this variety 

 in every selection. 

 We shall plant it for 

 the fruit and shall 

 expect to be well re- 

 paid for the outlay. 

 The plant is a large, 

 strong grower, re- 

 sembling the Bubach 

 in some respects, 

 having a large, broad 

 leaf, with a strong 

 root. Being a strong, 

 perfect bloomer, it is 

 a desirable variety to 

 plant with pistillate 

 sort s.

SPLENDID (Imp)— It gave an extra heavy crop 

 the past season and showed up more promising than 

 for previous seasons. It sets lots of berries, but must 

 be well fertilized in good soil to mature them full.
