|n fact it i8 takiii;;' the place of Warfield with the largest growers for va- 

 rious reasons. It has a perfect blossom and is a better berry, better able 

 to resist drought and less liable to be injured by continued rainy weather 

 during the picking season, and with us it averages quite a little larger 

 than the Warfield in size. The foliage is tall, dark green, upright, with a 

 long leaf, and has more than the ordinary i)Ower of developing a heavy 

 crown system. It has an extra long flowering season: the bloom is hand- 

 sbitie^and exceedingly rich with pollen, wliicli makes it very valuable to 

 plant with such pistillate kinds as ripen in its season. Another redeem- 

 ing feature is its long roots, Avliich go down to the suV)soil for moisture- 

 A severe drough seems to have less effect upon this berry than on many 

 otherwise valuable varieties. It is really difficult to describe all of its good 

 points. The fruit is dark red with a glossy finish, shading to a deep scar- 

 let on the under side, with prominent yellow seed that look like gold 

 embeded in highly-colored wax. The meat is bright red all through and 1 • 

 exceedingly juicy. The past season I fruited quite a plot that bore a won- 

 derful crop of berries. We can furnish 2,000,000 thoroughbred plants at 

 reasonable prices. 



Cooper (Per) — We quote Samuel Cooper. Deleran, N. Y: "It is a 

 seeding of the Pan-Amerian. It is not a Fall-bearing variety. The plants 

 stand about one foot high at fruiting time and grows very erect so that 

 the fruit can be easily seen simply by pushing the foliage one side. Fruit 

 stems are about six to eight inches long. It makes plants freely and if set 

 five feet apart in the row in the spring, will make a fine hedgerow by turn- 

 ing the runners in line. It does best to have the row not over 6 inches 

 wide, making it easy to cultivate and keep the weeds down. It is a stam- 

 ina te; season medium to late. It yielded at the rate of n,000 (juarts to the 

 acre of plants set in April.
