vigorous and strong grower, with healthy green foliage, deep-rooted and very 
prolific, being a staminate, or perfect variety. Season of ripening is second 
early. For profit we know of no berry which will equal it. When grown by the 
side of Bubach, Haverland, Warfield, Sharpless:and several of the newer varieties 
the comparison was very plainly visible. Its superiority in every point was very 
marked, both in quality, size and productiveness. Placing some of the berries on 
the market, they readily brought a fancy price, the average being, at wholesale, 
17 cents, at a time when no other sort would bring over 6 cents.”’ 
Price $1 per 12, $4 per 100, $25 per 1000. Five hundred at thousand rates. 
Marguerite—Two-thirds diameter. 1897 report. (Perfect blossom). This va- 
riety has done even better than I had reason to expect. The plant is large, 
healthy, vigorous grower, having dark, glossy foliage. It is very productive 
and the fruit is of extra size and quality. Itripens all over a dark glossy red 
and retains its color to the center. _ The flesh is firmer than uny other large ber- 
ry | know.of, and very regular. With high culture.I could raise bushels of Mar- 
guerite just as fine as these. The season is from medium to very late,and the ber- 
ries keep up in size to the last picking. The first Marguerites ripened this season 
June sécond and I am still, July 7th, finding some nice berries while everything 
else is gone with the exception of Giant.—M. Crawford of Ohio. 
This variety was originated about six year ago, by John F. Beaver, of Day- 
ton, Ohio, from seed of the Crawford. It has made a wonderful record—per- 
haps never equaled in the world—and is now offered with great confidence. It 
responds readily to good culture, and all careful growers may exp-ct it to pro- 
duce the finest fruit in great abundance. 
The plant is large and healthy, and so vigorous in growth that it will mature

rieties. and bears until nearly all others 
are gone. With a good chance its berries are all of large size. The plant with 
its habits of growth and productiveness is faultless. 
The fruit is usually conical, sometimes rather long, but never coxcombed 
or misshapen, often necked. The color is dark, glossy red, and berries are not 
inclined to have white tips. 
The large, green calyx adds to its beauty. ‘The flesh is firmer than most 
very large berries, and of excellent flavor. 
For healthy, vigorous growth, productiveness, size, beauty and quality, the 
Marguerite is a remarkable variety. 
Mr. Beaver is one of the most successful growers in the country, and his 
opinion of the Marguerite is that it is the best late variety yet produced. 
Prof.Troop. of the Indiana Experiment Station, says: ‘°The Margueriet gave 
excellent satisfaction the past season. It is not as large a berry as some others, 
but the color and flavor are excellent.”’ ; 
M. Crawford, says: ‘‘Margueriet has out done herself here. Very large, very 
productive, fine shape and color and without fault that I can find.”’ 
Margueriet as grown here; the plant is healthy, of very green foliage and of 
good size. The fruitis extremely large, among the largest specimens the past 
season. In our opinion it is with us to stay. 
Price by mail postpaid, 60 cents dozen; $2.75 per 100; $2.50 per 100 by ex-
