SHARPLESS Well known everywhere for its large size and good quality, 
does best in low land. My stork ol this variety is larger than usual. Thf de- 
mand for it seems to l>e increasing. 
SUNRISE— This is claimed by Mr. Hale to Ik a very \aluable variety. It 
has a vigorous hfltfij foliage and is very productive of medium sized fruit, hut

TENNESSEE PROLIFIC Is one of the good medium early varieties, large 
size and quite productive. It is a very vigorous, healthy plant, with never a 
spot of rust, and I believe it is a \ ariety that will do well under most any cir- 
cumstances. 1 1 has a strong staminate blossom and is especially valuable as a 
polleni/er. This vari« t\ i- largely grown in the vaeiuity of Norfolk, Ya., one of 
tin- largest straw b» rr\ sections in the world. 
WOLVERTON — I have fruited this four times and have found it to be re- 
liable. It is large si/r and productive: strong staminate suitable to plant with 
pistillate varieties. 
WILSON ALBANY I have a few thousand of this old standard that are 
-trictly pure. There seems to be some demand for it. Too well known to need 
a description. 
ARROW This is a very rank grower of healthy plants. The fruit is me- 
dium si/e. well colored and firm. 
BISEL. < >riginated in Southern Illinois, by 1). L. Risel. It is a seedling of 
the^Wilson. It has Nn onie noted as a 
market berry. It has fruited here 
once ami the following it its measure, 
taken in the held when the fruit was 
ripe: "Healthy. '\ igorous plant, very 
productive, fruit medium size, conical, 
regular. gro**y red. good flavored and 
quite firm.

sections. 
COLUMBIAN.— Has fruited here 
twice. | do n«,t advise an\ one to 
plant it as I don't consider it worth 
gTowing if it does no better elsewhere 
BISEL. than it does here. I have some very 
ti in pi n t- I will s.-H eheap il ain one wants them. I shall not plant any more 
of it. 
BELMONT — A good table berry, large sire, good flavor, about medium in 
products eiiess. makes a large, bluff, stalky plant. 
CRESCENT. -Too well know n to need description. Succeeds everywhere. 
My stock of this large and fine. 
ENHANCE -Has never pleased me. A good many recommend it. It is a 
good healthv grower, and bears a ven < 1 ry and firm hern that w ill stand ship- 
ping, but it is always knotty w ith me. In sections where it is free from this de- 
tect it is probably very satisfactory. 
GANDY BELLE— Is a largf beny, per.feot bloom and reij prodooilve, iter 
nes dark red when ripe. The plant is a verv strong grower, always makes a 
heavy bed of plants. Time of ripening, early.
