GLADSTONE. 



Beder Wood — A perfect bloomer and is a favorite 

 in the Western States, For two seasons it has done 

 well here, subject to rust some seasons. Give them a 

 show and they w'U give you a crop of highly colored 

 berries. Early and productive. The plant is a good 

 healthy grower and sends out a number of runners. 



Bismark— (Per.) It is not as large as the Bubach, 

 as has been described, but resembles this variety in 

 size and color, shape and flavor. Fruit is bright scar- 

 let with no green tips ; very firm for such a large berry. 

 It makes lots of plants and sets loads of fruit which it 

 seems to mature, especially if given good strong soil, 

 For those who are prejudiced against an imperfect 

 bloomer like the Bubach, this is the one to plant. 



Clyde — (Per.) At the first few pickings last j^ear 

 this variety was all one could ask for; the berries were 

 large and abundant, hanging in such clusters that every 

 one wanted to pick the Clyde. Following this was a 

 few days of rains and hot suns, and they M'ilted very 

 fast compared with other varieties. The only objec- 

 tion there seemed to be was the lack of foliage to cover 

 the fruit, and for this reason the fruit was nurt severely 

 by the hot suns. It will have to have extra cultivation 

 and fertilizer to enable the plant to make foliage 

 enough to cover the fruit in a dry season. 



Crescent— (Imp. ) The pooi lazy man's variety. 

 Will produce more fruit under careless cultivation than 

 any other variety. Very productive, bright red, 

 medium size, known evervwhere and needs no de- 

 scription, 



Dayton— (Per.) Early, very productive, high qual- 

 ity, and is above medium size for the early sorts. 

 Plant a strong grower and is quite valuable for such an 

 early berry. L,arge size. 



Gladstone— It is unusual to find a berry as large as 

 Gladstone yielding such large crops of berries. Add 

 to this its general adaptability to all locations and we 

 have a variety of exceptional value. It comes from the 

 same source as Sharpless, which it resembles in large 

 size of berry and plant, etc., but is decidedly better 

 than that noble plant in its palmiest days, being larger, 

 more productive and firmer, without the disposition 

 to scald as does the Sharpless. It is a sujjerb variety, 

 and one destined to become exceedingly popular. The 

 berries are uniformly very large, rich crimson in color, 

 firm, and of excellent quality. Plant is large, exceed- 

 ingly vigorous and robust, and on good soil an im- 

 mense bearer and the berries bring the highest prices 

 in market. Early to midseason 



Qandy— (Per.) One of the latest if not the latest in 

 cultivation. This variety requires a special soil 

 adapted to it. It is particularly adapted to the North- 

 ern States, as in the Southern States it seems too dry. 

 We say, on our soil it is a good plant maker, produc- 

 ing a beautiful plant of medium size. The fruit, what 

 we get, is of good size, but it is too shy a bearer here 

 to be of any profit. This variety is well known over 

 the country, and where it .succeeds well it is one of the 

 best paying sorts. We always grow a good stock of 

 these to supply our customers and our stock is gen- 

 uine. 



Glen Mary— (Per.) Shows up better than last sea- 

 son, and makes some very large berries, but the plant 

 rusts verv badly, and by rusting as it does, it does not 

 seem to have .sufficient foliage to cover the fruit from 

 the hot sun, therefore, we consider we have better va- 

 rieties in cultivation than this.
