COOPER (Per) 



A change seedling found by Mr. Cooper, of Michigan, and intro- 

 duced by Henry Emlong & Son is highly recommended by them 

 and other Michigan growers, who say it is a heavy yielder of berries 

 that are of the largest size and of fine flavor. 



Cooper is a strong, vigorous grower, making plenty of plants 

 for a good fruiting bed. The plants are of large size, with long, 

 healthy roots that enable them, to withstand drought better than 

 many varieties. I sold out on Cooper last year. 



I have fruited Cooper three times and here with us it yielded 

 fair crops, and the berries, while not the largest, still were of large 

 size, firm and of good quality. 



EATON (Per) 



Originated in Indiana several years ago and described by the 

 introducer as a berry that is remarkable for its size, smooth even 

 shape, quality, firmness and its long fruiting season. The plants 

 are strong and root deeply, and always make a good fruiting bed. 

 The foliage is tough, dark green and healthy. 



The first year I fruited Eaton, season 1924, I was very much 

 pleased with it. They produced a big crop and the berries were 

 large and held up in size until the last picking; were firm and of 

 good quality. The next two seasons it did not do so well, but last 

 year I did not get to fruit them. We had them on land that was 

 not quite so good and the seasons were much dryer than in 1924, 

 and the berries were small after the first two or three pickings. 

 For best results I believe should be planted in good rich ground 

 and grown by the narrow matted row or hill method.
