The season of ripening medium, 



medium to large size, bright red, long 

 and pointed. Fair in quality and as a 

 shipper. It should be well pollenized 

 with perfect bloomers and in this way 

 you can improve the firmness. It is 

 one of of the most productive varieties grown, 

 and ripens here about May 25th. 



BISMARCK (Per) — Is not as large as the Bubach as has been described, but 

 resembles this variety in color, shape and flavor. Fruit is bright scarlet with 

 no green tips; very firm for such a large berry. It makes lots of plants and sets 

 loads of fruit which it seems to mature, especially if given good strong soil. 

 For those who are prejudiced against an imperfect bloomer like the Bubach, 

 this is the one to plant. 



DELAWARE (Per) — At blooming season they showed to be the finest on our 

 grounds, but two weeks later they did not show as well and at picking season, 

 May 25th, they were loaded full with ripe and green berries. They set entire- 

 ly too much fruit and they cannot mature the load they undertake to carry. 

 I think on good soil with high cultivation there could be a heavy crop of 

 fruit marketed from this variety. Fruit* of medium size, firm and a good ship- 

 per but not of the highest flavor. 



LADY THOMSON (Per) — This variety has been grown world wide for the 

 past three years and in great variety of soils, and it seems to succeed quite well; 

 however it is better adapted to rich, loamy or sandy soils. It is early, very 

 large size and quite productive, 



HOPPilAN (Per) — Early southern berry, very Id&rk red, of medium size, 

 very firm and quite a heavy yielder. This variety is principally adapted to the 

 south, and probably it has better advantages there^than in the northern states. 

 Our stock of this is very fine and of the true type. 



BEOAR WOOD |(Per) — Berries small and plants small. This variety rusts 

 badly some seasons, and in others it shows no signs of rust. Last season the 

 rust did not seem to affect it. Very productive variety. Planted mostly in 

 the west. 



MORGAN'S FAVORITE (Per)— Fruit among the very largest and of ex- 

 cellent flavor and scarlet color. It would be too soft for long distant shipping 

 but extra fine for nearby markets, being one among the very best of the garden 

 collections for family use. The plant is perfect, being large and stalky and 

 makes a medium amount of runners.

Pa. September 11, 1899. 

 J. G. Harrison & Sons, Dear Friends:— I 

 want to say to you, I think I have the finest bed 

 of plants grown from those bought of you last 

 spring that there is in the country, "I think," 

 and I have been in ti e strawberry business for 

 20 years and think I am a judge of plants. When 

 I received the plants last spring it was quite 

 cold here. I made some trenches and healed 

 them in about three inche- apart after washing 

 the roots in warm water, and about the 20th of 

 May planted them out and such nice, new roots, 

 f think I never saw the like. Don't think I lost 

 three plants out of the 800. I planted six feet 

 ipart and one foot in the row anrt planted early 

 potatoes between, had a nice crop of potatoes 

 and now have a fine matted row just room 

 enough for picking. I shall if all is well want 

 plants of you for spring setting. Yours with 

 well wishes, H. P. Green o. 



Marvland, April 3rd, 1S99. 

 Messrs. J. G. Harrison & Sons. Gentlemen :— 

 The strawberry plants came to hand Saturday 

 in good order. They are fine plants and we^re 

 much pleased with them. Re pectfully you*o, 

 James A. Hughes.
