DARLING — The originator says: 'This is the most productive and earliest 

 of any on my grounds. It is a seedling of Mitchel's Early and has fruited three 

 years." I have seen it in fruit on the originator's place, and it was certainly 

 a fine oerry, medium size, good quality, productive and early. Thompson 

 says it is the earliest of any he has on his grounds I believe it is a good one. 

 The cluster illustrated above I picked in May 1898 from the originator's patch. 

 Last Spring, I fruited it here and found it to be fully twice as productive as 

 Mitchels Early, will average larp-er in size and ripens same time In health and 

 vigor of plant it is equal to any I ever saw, I have never seen any rust on it. 

 Heretofore the price has been so high that growers could not afford to buy it; 

 last year we sold it at .i?20.00 per 100, but I am now offering a magnificent stock 

 of 800, 0C€ strong, healthy, vigorous plants at only .^2.00 per 1000 or one tenth of 

 last year's price. 



GERTRUDE — Is medium early, large size, scarlet color, firm in texture and 

 a good shipper, perfect blossom and a strong, healthy vigorous plant; a reliable 

 and valuable variety.
