SEAFORD 'Lloydj— This is claimed to be surperior to Bubach; it m 

 very strong healthy vigorous plant and is 

 equally if not more productive than Bu- 

 bach, quite as large and somewhat better 

 shipper, a little earlier and comes on fas- 

 ter. The fruit is a dark f-carlet in colon 

 Dlossoms p istillate. This berry was ori^-i 

 nally caLled L'oyd and is still known to 

 many by that name but when introduced 

 it was called Seaford 



WOOLVERTON— This is a well known j 

 and reliable variety that succeeds on any \ 

 soil and in any locality a's a rule. It was 

 originated by Mr. John Little, of Canada, 

 and is really on~ of the most valuable ever 

 sent out. the plant is a ^or d grower and 

 a great bear<-r. It has a perfect blossom. 

 and is one of the best pollenizers we have. 

 It is no uncommon thin^r to see blossoms 

 and ripe fruit on this variety at the same 

 time. Fruit v ery large, of regular form, 

 tine looking, of good qualitv, and produc- 

 ed in great abundance. This and Saund 

 ers though not the same are very much 

 alike and were among the best on my place the past season. Side by side witht 

 Bubach, Woolverton gave finer fruit and more of it. The above was my de- 

 scription of Woolverton last year, I have fruited more than ever of it the pas 

 season and side by side with Bubach it was larger, more productive, firmer and 

 better every way. 



JOHNSON'S EARLY — I must give our customers a word of warning con- 

 cerning this berry, that is, do not let it get too thick. If properly grown in 

 thin, matted rows, it is going to give satisfaction, as it is one of the finest 

 of the e&rly berries that I know of, being very showy and attractive in the bask- 

 ets when picked, a good average medium size, neither very large nor small, 

 it cannot fail to please all who are interested in a good, early berry. If 

 allowed to make all the plants it will, the ground will become packed so 

 full that it would be impossible for it to mature a satisfactory crop, and 

 persons who disregard this advice should not complain if it does not meet their 

 expectation, for, if grown as above directed, I still recommend it, and believe it 

 will be a very valuabl? acquisition. In fact, it isdecidedly the best berry of 

 its season, which is three or four days later than Excelsior, and the same as 

 Michel and Hoffman. 



SAUNDERS— I with all my customers would test this berry, as it is among 

 the n;Ost desirable. It makes many runners, has a perfect blossom, and is v^ry 

 productive. The fruit is large, conical, slightly flattened and often has a de- 

 on on one or both sides. It is a deep red and remarkably glossy. The 

 flesh is of the same color and has a sprightly agreeable flavor. This 

 verv fine variety to plant with pistillate sorts, and a good berry for most any 

 purpose. It is one of the best we grow and I am planting it Largely for fruit 

 and shall plant more of it than ever the following spring. It is one of th. 

 things that has made its way without booming.
