LEHIGH— David Kuchn, Allentown, Pa., h retirr-d fruit nnd truck grower 



says about the Lehigh: "It is the cleanetit. best flavored and niost productive 

 berry I ever save. 1 never saw its equal and believe the Lehigh the berry for 

 the millions. ' W. B. K. Johnson, the originator says: "That it is very pro- 

 ductive. Berries considerable larger than Crescent, brighter red in color, ex- 

 cellent shipper."' Has not Iruiied here but plants very much resemble Crescent.

WARFIELD— This is one of the free- 

 growing plant makers that is luxuriant in 

 any soil, and usually so thickly mats itself as 

 to crowd out almost any hope of abundant 

 fruitage of large berries among its mass of 

 tough, hardy, foliaged plants; but when 

 plants are not allowed to over-crowd, this 

 hardy, imperfect-blooming variety is among ann . jv, :.>edy. 



the most productive, berries medium size, roundly conical, rich dark red color 

 all the way through, very firm and a good shipper. In size, torm, color and
