SENATOR DUN1AP. — I have fruited this va- 

 riety now for seven or 

 eight years, and find it one of the best standard sorts. 

 It was introduced by Mr. J. R. Reasoner, who says : 

 "I have shipped plants from the Pacific to the Atlantic, 

 tn Mexico and Germany, and it looks as though it has 

 commenced its journey around the world. The Dun- 

 Cap is one of those healthy plants which, if given half 

 a chance, will look out for itself anywhere you plant it. 

 It Is one of those varieties that a beginner may depend 

 on. The berry resembles the Warfield in shape and 

 color, and ripens about the same time ; in fact, it is 

 taking the place of Warfield with the largest growers 

 for various reasons. It has a perfect blossom and is a 

 better berry, better able to resist drought and less 

 liable to be injured by continued rainy weather during 

 the picking season, and with me it averages quite a 

 little larger than the Warfield in size. The foliage is 

 tall, dark green, upright, with a long leaf, and has 

 more than the ordinary power of developing a heavy 

 crown system. It has an extra long flowering season ; 

 the bloom is handsome and exceedingly rich with pol- 

 len, which makes it very valuable to plant with such 

 pistillate kinds as ripen in its season. Another redeem- 

 ing feature is its long roots, which go down to the sub- 

 «oll for moisture. A severe drought seems to have less 

 effect upon this berry than on many otherwise 

 valuable varieties. It is really difficult to describe all of 

 Its srood points. The fruit is dark red with a glossy 

 finish, shading to a deep scarlet on the under side. 

 with prominent yellow seed that look like gold embed- 

 ded In highly-colored wax. The meat is bright red all 

 through and is exceedingly uncy. The past season I 

 fruited quite a plot that bore a wonderful crop of ber- 

 ries. I do not kr^ow bow many quarts to the acre — I 

 wish I did. It seems, however, that they were not 

 satisfied with bearing an immense crop in the spring. 

 but along in August and September this same patch 

 would pick a quart of ripe berries at a time to every 

 40 or 50 feet of a row. and a second crop of over 400 



quarts was gathered on little more than an acre. I 

 had letters from parties wanting to buy plants, think- 

 ing it was an ever-bearing or fall-bearing variety. 

 While it has a decided inclination this way, we do not 

 claim that it would do this every year, and, in fact, I 

 am quite sure it would not, as the season has a great 

 deal to do with this.
