HARRISON'S NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 



as Hoffman and will grow three quarts of berries to the Hoffman's one per 

 acre in the same soil. We recommend this, wherever earliness is desired, to be 

 the best early berry now grown. The first ripe berries with us were found May 

 10th. We paid #80 for the first thousand plants but have never regretted it. 



OCEAN CITY (Per \ — The plant -has r dark green foliage, berries very large, 

 of Sharpless type; originated in this county,. Succeeds well in light, moist, 

 rich land; when put in high sandy land it is a failure. We recommend it 

 wherever late berries of fine quality are desired. 



IPffTJERRY RUSK (Per) — Fruit is magnificent, large, evenly colored, fine qual- 

 ity. The growth is all that could be desired, being strong, healthy and vigor- 

 ous. Where it was originated it is claimed to be the best variety ever grown. 

 Being a new variety it is worthy of trial. 



JERSEY riARKET (Imp.) — The berries are bright crimson in color and of 

 large but not of mammoth size, being remarkably uniform in both size and col- 

 or. They are above the average in firmness, of rich delicious quality and ripen 

 in midseason. Plant has large and abundant foliage and has never been affect- 

 ed by rust or scald. 



CARRIE (Imp) — This is comparatively a new variety; has been on the 

 market only four seasons. In size it is a little larger than Haverland which it 

 resembles in shape, color and texture. The plant is a robust grower, seems to 

 succeed quite well in general varieties of soil. Season of ripening about May 25. 



WARFIELD (Imp)— To get the best fruit of this variety it must be thin- 

 ned at least one half of the runners that are made in order to give it sufficient 

 room and sunlight. If neglected and left too thick the berries are sure to be 

 small, but in productiveness, it is almost unsurpassed. The berry is dark red 

 color, firm and of medium size.
