cap, which makes them very attractive. The quality is 

 very good. It is well worth trying, especially in the 

 home garden, or for a fancy local market. Price $10 

 per thousand. 



HAVERLAJiD. A very popular standard. The fruit is 

 of large size, rather light in color and firm enough to 

 stand shipment in good shape. The blossoms are imper- 

 fect and exceedingly hardy, which is an important point 

 in some of the northern states. Big Joe, Dunlap, Twilley 

 and Magic Gem are among the best varieties to plant 

 with the Haverland. The plants should be well mulched, 

 as the fruit stems are not able to hold the immense loads 

 of berries off the ground. Price $8 per thousand. 



Heritage. Berries large, attractive in appearance, good 

 quality, firm and quite productive. Blossoms perfect. 

 Price $8 per thousand. 



MAGIC GEM. A vigorous grower with leaves and 

 stems very thick and tough, which makes it most resist- 

 ant to insects and diseases. The berries are borne in 

 great abundance and are very large in size, with a large, 

 green cap and bright yellow seeds, making them very 

 attractive. The blossoms are perfect and are very full of 

 pollen, making Magic Gem an ideal pollenizer for mid- 

 season and late varieties, such as Hustler, Fendall, Sam- 

 ple, Haverland and others. Meat similar to Brandywine, 

 but a more vigorous grower, more productive, berries 

 larger, more uniform in size and shape and more hand- 

 some in every way. Price $8 per thousand. 



Marshall (Norwood). A fancy old variety. Its weak 

 point is its lack of vigor and productiveness. The fruit, 

 quart for quart is hardly equalled, except possibly by 

 Chesapeake. Anyone willing to give extra care for extra- 

 fancy berries should plant Marshall. Price $S per thous- 

 and. 



Paul Jones 



PAUL, JONES. A vigorous grower and one of the most 

 productive varieties we have ever seen. The fruit is good 

 size, very handsome in appearance, resembling the fruit 

 of the Haverland. It is a good shipper. The blossoms are 

 imperfect and should be planted with some good pol- 

 lenizer. Among the best are Big Joe, Magic Gem, Rewas- 

 tico and Ekey. Price $8 per thousand. 



Rewastico. The berries are a light cardinal red, uni- 

 formly large and regular in shape. The fruit is firm 

 enough to carry to distant markets in good condition. The 

 quality is good. Blossoms are perfect and rich in pollen. 

 Price $8 per thousand. 



Tennessee Prolific. Berries fairly large in size and 

 light in color; flesh is fine grained and firm enough to
