VAN DEMAN.— A 



VAN DEM AN. 



is darker in color, both fruit 



igorous grower, with strong and healthy foliage, that 

 niuch resembles the Lovett in plant and habit, 

 and is remarkably productive under favorable 

 conditions. It has recieved much praise from 

 the experiment stations. The berries are conical, 

 and deep glossy scarlet in color, firm, and of 

 sprightly sub-acid flavor. Early. 



GEN. PUTNAM.— Resembles Cumberland 

 closely in both plant and fruit. Strong plant 

 and bright clean foliage. Berries large, round- 

 ish conical, pale scarlet, rather soft, but of high 

 quality. Mid- season. 



GREAT PACIFIC is. I believe, a valuable 

 early market berry. It is as early as Crescent and 

 quite as productive with the advantage of ripen- 

 ing up twice as much iruit at the first pickings. 

 The fruit is also much larger and will equal 

 Haverland in size, vigor and productiveness, but 

 nd oliage. A valuable variety. 



It is also 



CRAWFORD.— It is a line large berry, firm and of good quality, 

 a sturdy, healthy grow but is not produc- 

 tive on poor sandy soil. When given high 

 culture it is one of the best. 



MINEOLA. — Highly recommended for 

 family use. It is not very productive but 

 it is of large size and its quality is good 

 enough to make up for what it lacks in 

 productiveness. 



WILSON. — too well known to need 

 description. We have some fine healthy 

 plants that are strictly pure. 



SWINDLE.— The plant in habit of 

 somewhat resembles the Glendale. al- 

 though with rather broader leaves; it is a 

 more vigorous grower than either of its 

 parents, and makes runners freely: leaf 

 and fruit stalks are long and stout, fruit CRAWFORD. 



stalks very abundant and branch freely, so that often thirty or fifty berries form 

 on a single cluster; blossom pistillate, blooms medium to late, iruit ripens late 

 till very late, large, dark glossy scarlet color, sprightly, high flavor, somewhat 

 acid, but of excellent quality, firm and solid, and a grand shipper. 



PARKER EARLE.— This is a favorite with many. It is wonderiully pro- 

 ductive and a good grower, but here it does not do as well as I would like to 

 have it. Where it succeeds it is a grand variety. My plants are large and 

 healthy. 



SADOVAL. — Plants healthy, fruit of medium size, and good quality. Fairly 

 productive.
