Tippecanoe. 



TIPPECANOE— The ori?inator speaks of it 

 as follows: "Plant a remarkably lianly one: 

 lieautiful foliage and a free runner; fruit very 

 large and beautiful; globe-shaped, though soine- 

 liniesa little flattened; flavf>r rich and delicious, 

 being one of the best; color shining rod, flesh 

 also highly colored; time of ripening the earliest 

 I have; remarkably productive, even late run- 

 ners shf)Aviiig large trusses of berries; stands 

 drought exceeding well, owing to its immense 

 masses of roots." 



STEVENS has not yet fruited with me; it 

 )ias made a good growth and is free from rust. 

 The originator describes it as follows: "F:arliest 

 (il all; ver.v firm, good size, and handsome in 

 (oloi-; loaded with fruit; stands drought, cold 

 and wet; does not rot wlien overripe, like many 

 others; a good market berr.y, and will sliip an.v 

 distance." 



'•ALABAMA is early, large, bright red, im- 

 mensely productive, and largest of all; uniform 

 in shape and size; stands drought, and is free from 

 rust; continuesa longtime in bearing."'— Orif;/'*f/- 

 tur'K rh'scri])fion. Has not yet fruited with me. 



EDGAR QUEEX is a strong, healthy plant, 

 a vigorf)US grower, entirel.v free trom rust, and is 

 claimed to be very large and productive. It has 

 not .vet fruited with me, but 1 must say it looks 

 ver.v promising. 

 MT.\MI.— No good here; witli me i( is entirely worthless, and I would not advi.^e any one to plant 



it. I only ofTer it bee luse it is clainu'd to do well in some of the western st ites. 



("KAWFORD (H).— Originated by and named after Matthew Crawford, of Ohio, who holds an en- 

 viable reputation as a strawberry expert ; and I am sure Mr. Crawtord would never allow it sent out 



did it not possess desirable <iualities. He thus describes it: 



"The pbtnt is very large and stalky, dark green, and free 



irom defects. It has a perfect blosson and is a good bearer. 



The fruit is large to very large, somewhat irregular at fir^'t. 



but never coxcombed. Coloi- bright, glossy red. and lighter 



witiiin. Tlie flesh is Arm and of excellent (luality. one of t he 



best. It ]ir<^)duces a good numijer of str.iug runners, and is a 



varif'ty of decided clnuacrcr." 



LADY RUSK.— Originated in Illinois. The firmest l)erry 

 grf)wn. liaving been shipped safely to Winnepeg, C!anada. 

 l')M() miles, arriving in good condition. The ij'ants are verv 

 vigorous and froe from rust, equaling the Crescent in product- 

 iveness. Highl.v recommended l)y leading authorities. 

 Several days earlier than the Crescent. 



HAVERLAND.— This variety is creating quite a stir 

 among strawt)err.v growers on account of its great pioductivi-- 

 ness, (luite equaling the Crescents in yii^id, nearly as large as 

 Rubach No. .'), and at least a week earlier. The plant is a 

 very viirf)rous grower. It bids fair to l)e a fine shipping 

 variety, and, as it is very large and ver.v earl.y for a large 

 berr.v. will command good prices in market for years to come. 

 No one will ever regret planting it, I shall plant largely of it 

 for market, as I believe it to be one of the most profitalilc 

 varieties in cultivation. My stock of plants is very fine.
