During riarch and April this dearborn makes from three to six trips daily to Fxpress 

 office loaded as above and often has to be reinforc to keep up. This year (he 

 Express Company will open a branch off.ee in my packing house. 



AROMA. Plantsshow no weakness of any kind, fruit very large, roundish, 

 conical, rarely mis- s-hapen, of excellent quality, and glossy red. A very late 

 variety, much resembling Gandy, and by ruanv believed to be more pr< dnctive; 

 and it is suit d to a gr ater variety of soils. For instance, I have it growing on 

 sandy loam where it seems to be doing very satisfactory, having n ade a wide 

 bed of str«»ng, vigorous plants To^tbose who do not find Gandy satisfactory, 

 and wish to find a lar^e late berry. I recommend a trial of the Aroma In the 

 West the Aroma is becoming a k-reat favorite among large growers planting ex- 

 tensively of it. Our present stock of plants is very desirable. 



AUTO. This variety has not yet fruited with me. Special claims, bow- 

 ever, are being made- for its unusually hiyh quality and its remarkable pro- 

 ductiveness. The plants are large, very strong and healtby, blossoms perfect. 

 The Auto originated in Delaware, and by those who have grown it, claim it to 

 be of large size, and fine quality, and is also claimed to stand drought better 

 ihan most other sorts. 



BISMARCK. Bismarck is a safe pollenizing strawberry, possessing all the 

 desirable qualities of the Bnbach, and superior to it in quality. Bismarck 

 mates a finer growth than Bubach, and will generally produce a larger yield 

 pi- r acre It's color is what I would call a dull soirletiand ripens all over at 

 once with no green tips.
