TOWNSEND'S LATE CHAMPION.per, 

 A berry that ripens a few days earlier 

 then the Gandy.This variety was in- 

 troduced by us the past season. While 

 we have been growing- them for six" years 

 we have never failed to get a fine crop 

 of fruit. Plants show no signs of weak- 

 ness cf any kind, fruit large and round, is 

 conical, rarely mis-shapen, glossy red 

 though produces an a abundance, not quit 

 so late as the Gandy but will pick twice 

 the quantity of berries. and ones that are 

 equal in every respect and has all the 

 quality neccessary for a commercial berry 

 "While we have 10 other late varieties 

 and have tested many others that we hav 

 discarded, this variety is strongly our fa- 

 vorite. This variety was found growing 

 near a bed of Aroma. and we believe 

 Is a cross from that variety. You will 

 make no mistake in trying them. We 

 have a fine stock of well rooted plants 

 at reasonable prices for a new variety 

 that has the merits of this one.

NANTICOKE (Per)— Found growing in 

 Nanticoke district, this county (Wicomi- 

 co), after fruiting it for several sea- 

 sons, a fiiend of ours sent us 100 plants 

 to test, after receiving his description 

 we decided that it must be something 

 extra, and after we have tested it one 

 season, we are of the same opinion as 

 the originator. We believe that anyone 

 looking for an extra fancy berry will 

 like the Nanticoke, as it has all the 

 qualities that go to make up a strictly 



fancy berry. It is the richest flavored 

 berry I ever saw, and one that a grow- 

 er would want to last the whole year 

 round. It is not quite as productive as 

 some sorts, but its size and quality will 

 make up for quarts. The best class of 

 trade will draw to this berry and we ad- 

 vise all growers that are after a strictly 

 fancy berry, to get a few Nanticokes, 

 to start with, as our supply is very 

 small this season, and you can not posi- 

 tively get them from anyone else. The 

 foliage is very large and the plants 

 stand up well and make a good growth of 

 strong plants. Season early to mid-sea- 

 son. The Nanticoke will be sent out un- 

 der a guarantee your money back if it 

 does not give entire satisfaction, after 

 s-iving it a trial. Price, $1.00 per doz.; 

 $5.00 per 100, prepaid to any State in 

 the Union. 



NORWOOD (Per) — Mid-season with us. 

 The berry that has been widely advertise 

 that four berries have filled a quart 

 box. While the berry is very large and 

 good quality we have not grown them to 

 that size. Makes a moderate supply of 

 large healthy plants and moderately pro- 

 ductive.We have a fine stock of plants, 

 very low considering what price we paid 

 for them. They are worthy of a trial in 

 any one's garden. 



BUBACH (Imp)— Mid-season, too 

 late. An old and popular variety, one of 

 the best plant sellers in the lot. Fruit 

 with Townsend's late Champion and 

 you will get what you are looking for. 

 A fine crop of big red berries, rich e- 

 nough for a king. 

 '^ CHIPMA— Mid-season with us. This 

 variety is wonderfully productive, fruit 

 very large and firm and is fast coming 

 to the front as a commercial variety. Will 

 colored and shaped and we advise all 

 our customers that have not tried them 

 to set some plants at once if they are 

 growing for market. 



COOPER (Per) — Mid-season. A variety 

 that hails from N.Y. Is a very highly 

 flavored variety, conical shaped, colors 

 all over a very dark red. Nothing better 

 for canning and preserving. The origna- 

 tor praises it very highly and says that 

 it is the very best variety he ever saw. 

 Mr. Samuel Coopre,Delavan,N.Y.,is the 

 originator.Is a seedling from Pan-Ameri- 

 can. We have a fine stock of plants,
