TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



Bubach. I have a fine strain of this grand old variety 



BUB ACM. ' w '" speak of this variety by first asking how many of the older customers there are 



- that do not remember Bubach, or, as it used to be called, Bubach Xo. 5; and I want to 



ask further how many of the older customers there are that have seen many, if any, better berries than 

 the Bubach was when it was first put on the market : and right here I want to say that I have a very fine 

 strain of this grand old variety that I think is just about as good as the Bubach was in its earlier days. 

 Our Bubach plant beds are just about 2 feet across, with as fine, luxuriant, healthy growth as you will 

 find in almost any variety of this section. The fact is, we have had so much demand for this grand old 

 variety that I have kept it among my leaders, and only once in ten years have I failed to sell every plant 

 that I had. My present stock will exceed half a million, and I doubt very much if there will be a plant left. 

 "The Bubachs were by far the finest berries and brought the best price. In my experience of Strawberry 

 growing for fifteen years I have never seen any berry to equal the Bubach," is the verdict of one customer, 

 and we have many similar ones. We have a very fine stock of Bubach plants, and shall be pleased to have 

 the orders of all customers who admire this variety. 20 cts. per doz., 35 cts. for 25, 50 cts. for 50, 75 cts. 

 per 100, Si. 25 for 250, $2 for 500, S3. 50 per 1,000 



wide range of country but for the fact that its 

 foliage sometimes gives way about fruiting time 

 and is not sufficient to protect the immense crop 

 of fruit. This can be to some extent guarded against 

 by an application of nitrate of soda in the spring 

 before fruiting. The Clyde has been largely grown 

 in Kentucky and seems to have been a favorite, 

 and is even now with many growers. 



Commonwealth. This is a Massachusetts berry. 

 I have fruited this berry and find it bears a good 

 quantity of firm, large berries. A variety that I 

 recommend for the North, but not for the South, 

 as I think it is more adapted to northern sections, 

 and for best results should be given rich soil and 

 high culture. 



Cardinal. Makes a vigorous growth; very pro- 

 ductive, very firm and handsome. It looks so well 

 and yields so well, and, being easily grown, it is 

 claimed to be one of the most profitable market 

 varieties in Ohio. The berries average large and 

 are bluntly conical, with a bright green cap that 

 holds up remarkably well after shipping. It pos- 

 sesses the solidity of the old Wilson, united with the 

 vigor of plant, prolificacy and brightness of color 

 of the famous Crescent, while the berries are larger 

 than either. Season, medium to late; blossoms 

 pistillate. 



Clyde. The Clyde is an immensely productive 

 variety, with fruit nearly or quite as large as 

 Bubach. It would be a popular variety over a
