CARDINAL. — Originated witli Mr. Goo. J. Sti-eatei, 

 of Ohio, and introduced by 1 he 

 Templin Co., of the same State. This berry has been 

 satisfactorily advertised, and I thinli, as a ruie, has 

 given good results. It is vigorous in growth, produc- 

 tive and exceedingly firm and handsome. It loolis so 

 vpell, and yields so well and, being easily grown, is one 

 of the most profitable varieties for market. The berries 

 average large and are bluntly conical with a bright 

 green cap that holds up remarkably after shipping. It 

 possesses the solidity of the old Wilson united with the 

 vigor of the plant, proliHcacy and brightness of color 

 of the famous Crescent, while the berries are larger 

 than either. Season medium to quite late, blossoms 

 pistillate. One grower remarks that it gets right down 

 to business and keeps at it all the time. From Ohio 

 comes the word that it is good in plant growth and 

 gives a wonderful yield. Altogether we consider this 

 one of the valuable varieties that has come to stay. 



GREAT SCOTT. — Originated in Massachusetts 

 by Mr. John Scott, and intro- 

 duced by Mr. S. II. \Yarren. It was given its name 

 "Great" because of its size, and "Scott" in honor of 

 Its originator, also "Great Scott" is a common expres- 

 sion for anything surprising. It is a cross of Bubach 

 and Belmont. The foliage and fruit of the Great 

 Scott shine as though it were varnished. The frmt is 

 very large, with a bright scarlet color turning to crim- 

 son when very ripe. Its season is from medium to 

 late. The quality is good. It does not make a large 

 number of plants, but the plants are large in size, and 

 a few plants well distributed over the row make a 

 good showing. We have put the price much lower this 

 season so that all who desire to can give it a trial at 

 a nominal cost.

TOO GOOD NOT TO BE WIDELY 

 KNOWN. 



Harford Co., Md„ June 7, 1909. 

 W. F. Allen-, Salisbury, Md. 



Dear Sir — The Chesapeake berry (the 

 plants came from your nursery last year) Is 

 now in fruitage, and we are delighted with 

 it. The rich, red color seeds clearly defined 

 on outside : its size and flavor all combine to 

 make a perfect berry. It is firm, and bears 

 handling better than other varieties, and Is 

 sweet and delicious. Its appearance Is as 

 perfect as the little imeries all good house- 

 keepers have in their workbasket. With 

 wishes for the successful introduction of the 

 berry generally ; it is too good not to be widely 

 known. Believe me. 



Very truly yours, 



WM. L. AMOS.

GOOD LUCK. — Originated by Elwood Pedrick, of 

 New Jersey. The fruit of thi» 

 berry as compared with Gandy is equally as large and 

 a few days earlier ; in shape it is conical to broad 

 conical or wedge shape. The illustration was made 

 from a photograph and is an exact likeness of the 

 berry. With me it does much better than Stevens Late 

 Champion, which seems 

 to be growing popular 

 in man.v sections. In 

 plant growth It Is 

 one of the strongest 

 that we have, mates a 

 large number of plants 

 and for best results 

 should be kept thin One 

 customer from Indiana 

 says : "Good Luck la 

 splendid." Thomas G. 

 Smithson, of WaiShlr-it- 

 ton, D. C, says : "Good 

 Luck especially msd*- Mie 

 finest plants I ever saw 

 in my life, and I wish 

 you could see thf-ra. not- 

 withstanding the two 

 months' drouth we had 

 this spring. What few 

 I allowed to fruit, the 

 berries seem to be all 

 that I could wish."
