BRANDYWINE. I have marketed quit" m f-w tv-met 

 almo t every crate would bear the mark 

 of ''Fancy, 1 ' and always sells well ia 

 market The plant is very healthy, 

 tree Irom rust, and one or the best 

 growers I have. The fruit and plant 

 ver> much represent Gandy, but will 

 succeed on a greater variety of soils . 

 For tvso or three years the Brandy wine 

 was reported upon by aimo t ever* 

 Experiment Station bulletin, written 

 up by Horticultural papers and talked 

 of by fruit growers everv where, which 

 created a big demand for plants. If 

 such a thing were possible, the Bran 

 dywine was at first over praised r J hen. 

 for about two years, it seemed to have 

 been lost s'ght of, but for the pi st 

 three or four neasons it has graduailj 

 been coming into favor; not by the 

 boasting of Horticultural writers and 

 interested pUnt dealers, but by its own 

 merits. In fact, I have fold large or 

 cers ot plants to parties who flr-t con 

 demned it. I firt-t saw this variety on 

 the grounds of Mr Ingram, the origi- 

 nator, and the dav I was at his place, 

 he picked over 1600 quarts, from one 

 and oue half acres at a single picking. 

 If you are undecided what to p'anr, 

 you will hardly make a mistake in 

 planting some Brandywine. 



BUBACH. This variety is so well 

 known that it needs no description 

 from me I will say however, that m\ 

 stock of plants is limited, and those 

 who uish to obtain this variety should 

 not delay too long in placing their or 

 ders. No'.withr-tanding this variety 

 does not grow as treely as most people 

 would like it to. it is a great favorite 

 Sometime ago I he, rd a very proui 

 nent nurservman say. that he FcareH\ 

 had a call for Bub ch pi on ts, and ex
