NEW YORK— Mid- season. Extra large, 

 very fancy, flavor mild, moderately firm, 

 good for local market. 



MASCOT (Per) — Late. There seems to 

 be some mis Lake with plant g-r rivers in 

 regard to this variety. Lots of tiieni 

 have gotten h-^ld of the wrong article. 

 And it is to be very much regretted, as 

 the Mascot is a particular extra fin? 

 variety and a fancy berry and one of 

 the latest we know of. This variety is 

 giving us general satisfaction as a late 

 variety and we are receiving even from 

 Experiment stations descrij^tions of it, 

 describing it as being an early variety, 

 small size and very poor flavor, etc. 

 Several of these parties and stations we 

 have taken it upon ourselves to write 

 them and offer a sample of the genuine 

 plants FREE so as to set them right. 

 Tne MAcsCOT is the lai'gest berry we 

 grow, also the latest. Also firm, pro- 



ductive and qiiality very fine. Our stock 

 of plants are low this season but we 

 will be glad to fill all the small orders 

 we can to the parties that have bought 

 them elsewhere and found them not to 

 be as Ave represent them here. 



ERNEST, Imp, Mid-Season. This 



berry was found by our partner, sea- 

 son 1908. He has haa special care over 

 it since that date. And with special care 

 it is a wonderfully fine variety. There was 

 four quarts of berries picked from the 

 ori-inal four plants at one time. We 

 l:no\v of no variety that surpasses it for 

 production. Size large to very large, 

 round conical shape, firm, color very 

 bright red. Flavor some acid but not 

 more so than many other varieties.Plants 

 entirely free from rust. As a commer- 

 cial variety we predict great success. We 

 have now a fine stock of plants a»d 

 will set heavy of it another season for 

 fruit.
