PARIS KING. 



PARIS KING— The plant is ver^' healthy and A'ig-orous and entirely free from rust. The 

 fruit is large to very large, somewhat irregular in shape, but of good quality. The berry 

 shoAvn in the description is from a photograph and is a true representation of its general ap- 

 pearance except that it IS considerably reduced in size. It is a strong staminant and an ex- 

 cellent variety to plant with large pistillate sorts. It seems especially adapted to the south 

 as M'eli as the north. Some very liattering testimonials from Florida A fine shipping berry. 

 Qiiite firm. 



HAVEKLAND— This variety has been before the public for several years. The plant is pei"- 

 fect, makes a good supply of plants and holds the fruit well up from the ground. The berry 

 is from medium to large size, bright red, long and pointed. Fair in quality and as a shipper, 

 it should be well pollenized with perfect bloomers, and in this Avay you can improve the firm 

 ness. It is one of the most f) reductive A^arieties groAvn. The season of ripening begins here 

 about May 25. 



AROMA (Per)— Plant shOAvs no AA'eakness of any kind. Fruit very large, roundish, coni- 

 cal, rarely mis-shapen, glossy red, of excellent quality, and produces in abundance. AVe could 

 not supply the demand for this A'ariety last year, but this year Ave haA'e a larger stock of them. 



BUBACH (Imp^— Hundreds of varieties have come up since this one Avas put on the 

 market by Mr. Bubach of Illinois, and there Avill be hundreds more of them that Avill go be- 

 fore this variety. When yoLi sum up the Avhole substance ot the straAvberry crop you will 

 find the Bubach Avill be among the leaders of the old standard varieties Avhen your hair has 

 turned gray. This berry has been thoroughly described year after year, but for the benefit 

 ■of those Avho have nut grown them Ave would say, the fruit is of the largest size, oftimes cox 

 combed, and it is not at all unusual to lind berries of this variety Aveighing an ounce to an 

 ounce and a quarter. It avjI! -do fairly Aveil under poor cultivation, biit responds freely to 

 good food. The j^lant is perfect, having dark foliage. Aery stout croAvn, a prolific groAver and 

 only sets enough plants to g,ve good sized berries. 



GREENVILLE (Tmp.)—The berries areof large size, good quality and medium texture, 

 color Aery e\en and fine, plant Aery productive, vigorous and free Irom rust, good groAver 

 season medium to late. 



CLYDE (Per^— At the first fCAv pickings last year this A-ariety Avas all that one could ask 

 for: the berries Avere jarge and abundant, hanging in such clusters that every one Avanteu to 

 pick the Clyde. Following this Avas a fCAv days of rain and hot suns, and they Avdi^ed \ ery 

 fast compared Avith other varieties. The only objection there seemed to be Avas the lack of 

 foliage to cover the fruit, and for this reason the fruit Avas hurt severely by the hot suns. It 

 will have to have extra cultn ation and fertilizer to enable the plant to make foliage enough 

 to coA'er the fruit in a dry season. 



SAUNDERS. (Per.)— One of the very best to plant Avith pistillate varieties, as the pollen 

 of it is Aery strong. The plant its a healthy grower, very productive, fruit large, conical, 

 slightly fiattened and often has a deptessidn on one or both sides. It is deep led. and i.-; re- 

 markably glossy. The past season only confirmed our belief stronger in this Aariety as it 

 "was up to its standard in every respect.
