BUBACH. This popular old 

 variety is too well 'known to re- 

 quire a lengthy description from 

 me. It is very productive of large, 

 showy berries that are red through 

 and through. As a midseason ber- 

 ry for Irorne use or near market it 

 stands second on the list. Many 

 nurserymen h a v.e dropped it from 

 their list owing to the fact that it 

 does not nmltiplv freely and is not 

 a money maker for the plant grow- 

 er, but it makes a moderate amount 

 of large healthy plants that literal- 

 ly cower themselves up with fruit. 

 I have seldom had enough plant- of 

 this grand okl variety to go around 

 but tin's year I have four acres in 

 this variety alone and they are very 

 nice, "so send along a our oftler. I 

 think I will have enough Buhach 

 to go around this time. 



BISMARCK. Bismarck is a safe polleuizing strawberry, possessing all 

 the desirable qualities of the Bubach. an 1 superior to it in quality. Bismarck 

 makes a finer growth than Buba^h. and will generally produce a larger yield 

 per acre. It's color is What I would c ill a dall mgtl&t.i and ripens all over 

 at once with no green tips.

 riety is a stroug healthy grower and prodn -es a large crop of medium to large
