KANSAS. (Imp.)— iTiis popular new variety was originated in the state from which il 

 takes its name. The plant is an extreme ly vigorous grower, and as free from disease or rust of 

 any kind as any ever grown. Its drouth resisting qualities are superb, blossoms pistillate. Its 

 fruit is brilliant crimsoQ, not only on the surface, but through and through. This feature, to- 

 gether with its very strong strawberry flavor , will make it, when it becomes better known, per- 

 haps the most popular strawberry for canning ever yet produced. Time of ripening late. It is 

 very productive of fine medium to large berries tnat make a very handsome showing in the 

 package, and always attract the best buyers. The berry is firm enough to make a good com- 

 mercial variety, and as soon as it becomes known, and the price within t he reach of the average 

 grower, we shall expect to see it rank high among the standard market berries. The originator 

 says: "I found it growing in the yard with some other seedlings, which I planted out as soon as 

 they were large enough to handle, They fruited the next spring when I noticed the one row 

 named Kansas had a larger, stronger blossom than any of the rest. When the fruit ripened it 

 was the finest of the lot, and it was the only one that i propagated. I have now been fruiting 

 Kansas for ten years, and have never missed a single crop : although they received no better 

 care than the other varieties I was growing,"

 market with which I am acquainted. It is of the Warfield type, has a perfect blossom, is hardy, 

 productive, a splendid ke^iper, andis able to hold its own under any '*rough and tumble" method 

 of culture to which it IS likely to be subjected. The plant is one of the toughest I ever saw. 

 Plants grown from cuttings of runners that hung over the sides of the baskets of plants 

 shipped here from Illinois last summer, grew well and showed no signs of weakness, although 

 crowded together in a frame where they were first planted. So far there has been no sign of 

 rust. The plant is wonderfully productive and generally brings every berry to maturity. The 

 berry resembles the Warfield in size and color, ripens at the same time and remains in bearing 

 until late, It is most beautiful m form and color, has a slight neck, is easily picked and hulled. 

 The originator of Warfield, had the Senator Dunlap in bearing this summer and, compar- 

 ing it with the Warfield, found it to be sweeter and a better keeper. Those who grow berries 

 for exhibition will not find the Senator Dnnlap what they want, but, except in size, it is unsur- 

 passed."— Originator's Description after testing two years. 



ROUGH RIDER. (Per.;> Imagine a strawberry with the size and shape of the Bubach, the 

 color and firmness 01 the Ganuy, the productiveness of the Sample and you have a pretty good 

 idea of the Hough Rider. The individual berries are rather irregular at first pickings like the 

 Bubach, but tone down and are regular shape during the most of the season. No berry packs 

 together better in the crates and baskets. If this berry has a fault it is dark color, but every 

 strawberry grower knows that the markets now demand a dark colored berry. Pick the Rough 

 Rider when not too ripe and you have a perfect- market color. In firmness it is phenomenal. 

 No berry we have ever grown will surpass the Rough Rider in firmness. It has been shipped to 

 Boston in the hot weather of July, 350 miles in an ordinary express car without ice and sold for 

 twelve cents per quart. The plants are very rugged in growth with thick leathery foliage. This 

 foliage stands up twelve to fifteen inches high on the originator's giounds and protects the 

 berries from the sun,"
