A SECTION OF ONE OF OUR BERRY PATCHES 
Chipman — (Perfect) 
This variety originated in Sussex county, Delaware, by a grower of over 
thirty years experience and is considered by him the best he ever fruited. It 
has a perfect blossom and is a good sort to plant with imperfect varieties. 
Large, healthy plants, showing no sign of rust or any other disease. Fruit is 
very large, with green caps of even size. Color dark red, bright and glossy. 
Very firm, good shipper, good quality and retains its bright color a long time 
after being picked. A healthy cropper, ripens early, just a little ahead of the 
rush while prices are good. It is about a week earlier than the Bubach which 
variety it is gradually taking the place of. 
Early Market— (Perfect) 
Last spring the introducer sold these plants at $40.00a thousand. Hesays: 
‘‘This is a new early berry and has gained quite a distinction for earliness, 
productiveness, large size and fine quality in the vicinity of Elmira, N. Y., 
where it originated. I was so pleased with it that I bought the control of it.”’ 
The plants are strong, vigorous and healthy, without a sign of rust. I do 
not know anything about the berries but if they are as good according as the 
plants they are one of the best berries growing. At the low price that I am 
offering them this year, anyone wishing an early berry would do well to give 
the Early Market a trial. Order early as my supply of this plant is limited.
