PARSONS. 



PARSONS. (Per.)— We have jn the Parsons a perfect t)loomer, berry equally as Jarge anti 

 very much ot the same shape as Tennessee Prolific, firmer and a little darker in color and 

 equally as productive, as they have been thoroughly tested in our vicinity th© past season in 

 a piece of land near us. side by side, and the Parsons gave more fruit and sold for more 

 money than the Tennessee Prolific by far. In growing berries for a commercial purpose you 

 should include this variety in every selection. We shall plant it for the fruit and shall ex- 

 pect to be well repaid for the outlay. The plant is a large, strong grower, resembling the 

 Bubach in some respects, having a large, broad leaf, with a strong root. Being a strong, per- 

 fect bloomer, it is a desirable variety to plant with pistillate sorts. 



CARMI BEAUTY (Imp.).— Originator's description: "Is the strawberry for the farmer's 

 garden and home market. We have no hesitation in pronouncing this the largest beri'v up to 

 date. Its tine size and beautiful appearance attract tne attention of the best buyers. It is of the 

 highest flavor; earliest of the medium early varieties. It is a large deep rooted plant, with an 

 abundant healthy, dark green foliage. It will stand dry weather longer than any other kind on 

 my place, and for a large berry will bear more to the hill than any other variety." 



COBDEN QUEEN. (Imp.) — Size large, beautiful, well shaped crimson berries of the me- 

 dium early varieties, being five days earlier than the Crescent. Flavor among the most de- 

 licious. It has been thoroughly tested and has proven to be a good one for market. Abundant 

 and healthy foliage. 



STELLA. (Imp.)— A seedling of Bubach and Sharpless was crossed with Gandy. Com- 

 bines with size the exceptional vigor and health of the plant of Sharpless, productiveness of 

 Bubach, and firmness of Gandy. 



Plants exceedingly robust and healthy; flower, imperfect; enormously productive; berries 

 very large, bright red , fine quality and very firm. Midseasou to late. 



LADY GARRISON.— Is one of the fanciest market strawberries grown. It is a hardy grow- 

 er, good yielder, perfect berry, good shipper, large size, fine flavor, medium sweet, and dark red 

 in color. They yield twice as much as Gandy and season of ripening is about four weeks, making 

 it a good berry for family use as well as ma)"ket, Every one should include this variety in his 

 collection. 



HERO. (Per.)— Fruit large, well formed of dark red color. It is of most excellent flavor. 

 Originated in Arkansas. We purchased the entire stock of originator. Ripens May 25th. We 

 would like each of our customers to try this berry. 



•TIANOKIN." (Pistillate).— This is a new berry, originated in 1895. It is a seedling of 

 '"Crescent" polJenized with "Sharpless." The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, perfectly 

 healthy and free from rust. A heavy cropper of large, deep scarlet colored berries that hold 

 their size to the last picking. It is one of the most showy berries in the crate that I have 

 ever seen, not as firm as "Johnson's Early," but for home use or nearby market it is unsur- 

 passed by any berry that 1 know of. 



The "Manokm" is medium earJy,ripens about one week later than "Johnson's Early. "-:-
