Clvde ^ n °'^ var ' etv once very popular. It is 



— - very productive of large, good-quality 



berries. It is a strong pollenizer for pistillate varieties 

 and does its best on soil that is very rich and highly 

 fertilized. Ordinarily the foliage is not sufficient to 

 protect the great crop of fruit, but this can be 

 guarded against by planting in very rich land or by 

 making an application of nitrate of soda in the spring 

 before fruiting time. Price, $4 per 1,000. 

 Crescent This variety has been on the market 

 * between thirty and forty years and 

 during that time has been one of the most largely 

 grown varieties in cultivation. It is still admired 

 by quite a few growers for its excellent shipping 



Early Jersey Giant (see page 21). We shall plant it largely for fruit 



qualities. The plants are very healthy, hardy, and 

 productive. The blossoms are imperfect and must 

 be planted near some other variety to fruit properly. 

 Senator Dunlap is one of the best to plant with 

 Crescent. Price, $3 per 1,000. 



DR. BURRILL. This is a new variety that 

 comes very highly recom- 

 mended. It is a scientific cross of Senator Dunlap 

 and Crescent and all the best qualities of both these 

 berries are embodied in the Dr. Burrill. The intro- 

 ducer predicts for it a great future and continues: 

 ''In plant-growth the Dr. Burrill is a marvel. Its 

 long and heavy root-system makes it a perfect 

 drought-resister. Its foliage is large and of a beau- 

 tiful dark green, 

 having a tough leaf 

 tissue, insuring its 

 entire freedom from 

 all leaf spots. The 

 mother plants grow 

 large and are heavy 

 crown-builders, 

 making it un- 

 equaled for hill cul- 

 ture, and being a 

 prolific runner- 

 maker, it is equally 

 well adapted for 

 any of the other 

 usual systems of 

 culture. In the 

 production of fruit 

 Dr. Burrill sur- 

 passes either of its 

 parents. The ber- 

 ries are large, de- 

 licious and beau- 

 tifully formed. 

 The surface of the 

 berry is a deep 

 glossy red, only a 

 trifle lighter in 

 color than the 

 Senator Dunlap. 

 The meat is solid 

 and rich. As a 

 canner it surpasses 

 Warfield which up 

 to the present time 

 has held the leading
