McAlpin. A very vigorous grower that will do well on light poor land, but also 

 responds wonderfully to richer land and greater fertility. Will grow anywhere. The 

 berries are medium to large in size, brilliant scarlet in color and unexcelled in quality. 

 After a heavy rain during picking time the McAlpin will have less sand and dirt on the 

 berries than any variety we know. This is important, especially where mulching ma- 

 terials are scarce and high priced. Its excellent quality makes McAlpin a good one for 

 the home or local market. It is also an excellent shipper, bringing top market prices. 

 Beautiful in appearance, very productive and unsurpassed in quality. McAlpin planted 

 with Big Late, makes a dandy combination and one that has made money for us the 

 last few years. For vigor, quality, productiveness and all around merit, McAlpin is hard 

 to beat. 



Wm. Belt. For a long time Wm. Belt was the standard of quality — now it shares 

 honors with Chesapeake and McAlpin. Wm. Belt berries are large in size and somewhat 

 irregular in shape. This variety is indispensable and it takes the lead whenever quality 

 is an important consideration. Wm. Belt is at its best in the Middle and Nothern 

 States, and in many sections it is the only variety wanted for home use or nearby market. 

 The berries are large and of a bright, glossy color. When once tasted, these berries will 

 sell themselves. Our plants of this variety are fine, and we believe those in the market 

 who want something of highest quality for home use or local market, can do no better 

 than to plant some of our Wm. Belt. Price list page 35.
