Senator Dunlap—(Perfect) 
This variety has done so well that it will be years before many northern 
growers will plant any other variety. It is a heavy yielder, best 
quality, and sells for a good price. What more could be wanted? It is a 
country-wide producer and is so recommended. The plants have enough health 
to get through on half a chance, and where they have an average show can be 
absolutely depended upon. The berry itself resembles the Warfield in shape, 
in color, and in period of ripening. It belongs to the drouth-resisting class, 
yet it is not liable to be injured by continued rainy weather during the picking 
season. A good pollenizer. Any observing grower will detect more favorable 
points about this berry than is given in this description. 
It is not only a splendid market berry, but one of the best for home use, 
having no superior as a canning berry. Every Northern grower should put 
Senator Dunlap first on their list and then add such other varieties as may be 
wanted, but make the main part of your planting of this variety either for 
market or home use, and if you are going to plant only one variety plant this 
one.

Ekey—(Perfect) 
Described by M. Crawford as follows: ‘‘Medium early, and makes a short 
season. This fine berry has been before the public six years and has won its 
way from the first. It makes plants sparingly, but they are of extra size and 
yield well. The fruit is peculiarly attractive, very large, long and dark red and 
glossy; the flesh is also dark red and solid. The flavor is pleasantly tart, 
sprightly and agreeable.’’ We have been growing the Ekey three years and 
have had a good growth of plants each year. I am well pleased with it. 
Mascot—(Perfect) 
The Mascot is one of the largest berries growing. The berries are of a 
beautiful, glossy red color, good quality and productive. The plants make a 
strong healthy growth and plenty of them. It is becoming one of the popular 
standard varieties. It originated in Virginia. Last year right alongside the 
Gandy, the Mascot had beautiful green caps, while the caps on Gandy were 
dried up and dead looking. A green cap is worth considerable in selecting a 
berry for market. It commences to ripen a few days earlier and continues to 
bear after the Gandy is gone. Very promising. Try it. 
Orem—(Perfect) 
Introduced by M. Crawford Company of Ohio, but was originated in Mary- 
land. The Orem is a vigorous grower and has fine foliage to protect the 
beautiful berries from the hot sun. It begins to ripen with the Gandy and 
bears an abundance of fine berries long after the Gandy are gone, and bears 
about three times as many as the Gandy. The berries are exceedingly large 
and smooth light red with yellow seeds and dark green caps which make them 
very attractive. Being very firm they can be left on the vines two or three 
days after they are ripe and still be in first-class shape for market.
