PRIDE OF CUMBERLAND— Plant as a vigorous grower. The bloom is per- 

 fect, ripens about one week earlier than the Gandy Prize: it is nearly as large, 

 equally as firm, as good a color and a great deal more productive. Like the 

 Gandy Prize it will carry from Florida to Boston, from Louisana to Chicago, 

 and arrive firm and fresh and with its brilliant red coor not the least bit 

 dimmed. Thrives on any soil, but owing to the immense ( rop it eets, should 

 to obtain the best results, be well fertilized. I am well supplied with good 

 healthy plants and have fixed the price at a reasonable figure, so that t very 

 grower can aftord to at once stock himself with plants for next season's fruit- 

 ing. The foreaoing remarks were my last year's description of Pride of 

 Cumberland. The past season I have fruited this variety and have found it to 

 be very satisfactory in every way. I'lie -ruit is equal to the (xandy in every re- 

 spect, is one week earlier and will produce a fine crop of fruit on high land, 

 where Gandy is almost sure to be a failure. I am highly pleased with this ber- 

 ry and will plant a large patch for fruit.
