PARIS KING. 



SPARTA 



on the Thayer Fruit Farms at Sparta, Wisconsin 

 It is said to be a companion for Warneid, being rich 

 in pollen, and blooming at the same time. It is a 

 seedling of the Warfield and Jessie, Foliage resem- 

 bles the Jessie but it makes more runners Berry 

 similar to the Warfield and may be shipped with it. 

 Very firm,good grower and,bearer, quality excellent 



flARSHALL — This has made a splendid growth, 

 and healthy looking and was among the 

 most attractive in a field of over sixty 

 kinds. I have fruited the Marshall 

 twice and am much pleased with it. 

 The plant is faultless; the blossom is 

 perfect and it is a good bearer. It is re- 

 freshing to see such large healthy 

 plants. The fruit is immense, of regu- 

 lar roundish form, dark glossy red and 

 of better quality than is often found in 

 so large berries. 



BRUNETTE— The Brunette is a de- 

 lightful berry. I have fruited it now 

 for four years and am greatly pleased 

 with it. In color it is a deep rich red 

 like port wine, not only all over the 

 surface but all the way through, and 

 when you break one into the fragments 

 of the "torn tissues sparkle in the sun- 

 light like splinters of ruby crystals. It 

 is a shapely berry, too, of uniform 



dome-like outline. 



The foliage is very bluff 







MARSALL. 



If a few Brunette berries were 

 mingled promiscously with a large number made 

 up of various other kinds, the Brunette could 

 readily be picked out, their beautiful dark-red color 

 and symmetrical outline distinguishing them from 

 the rest, They are quite firm berries i nd I would 

 think would stand shipping w T ell. I have had no 

 experience as to the latter fact, however, for my 

 Brunettes were too good to sell, and ju^t right to use 

 at home or to give to one's best friends. 



YOUNG'S EARLY SUNRISE— « 'This new] and 

 excellent berry originated in Indiana, and has given 

 the highest satisfaction on my grounds in central 

 Ohio. Earlier than the Mitchel's Early and as proli- 

 fic as Crescent, fruit larger than either, of a bright 

 scarlet color, perfect blossom, free from rust and 

 entirely hardy. Fruit was picked from this variety 

 the past season the 4th of May." — Originator's description. I have now fruited 

 this once and it is my candid opinion that it is nothing more nor Leee than 

 Mitchel's Early, and my plants come direct from the man that claims to have
