HAVERLAND.— This m I of the 



most popular mid-sea son ■' e 

 ties which was introduced in a very modest wa; 

 thirty odi ears ago and has constantly gained in popu- 

 larity ever' since. It is today one of the largest sellers 

 that'we have. It is a good standard berry that bear 

 a bis crop of berries that are abovi medium in size, 

 quality and appearance. Anyone who is in doubt as to 

 what to plant would make no mistake m planting this. 

 It seems to do well in nearly every part of the coun- 

 try Several years ago I asked all of my customers to 

 vote on the most popular mid-season variety. There 

 were twice as many that named Haverland as then- 

 preference as there wes any other one kind. The plants 

 are healthy, large and vigorous, making ample runni rs, 

 and are very productive. The bloom is medium size 

 and extremely hardy. The Haverland should be well 

 mulched, as the fruit stems are no1 able to hold the 

 immense load of berries from the ground. The Haver- 

 land is so enormously productive that th \ bright, large, 

 juicy berries lie in great heaps around the plant. ' he 

 Haverland has not been boomed by l ay introducer as 

 have most varieties, many of which are never heard 

 of after the 6rs1 two or three years, it has won its 

 own way on merit alone. I he e seen it average under 

 favorable circumstanc is nearly as large as g tinea eggs. 

 To show its immense popularity, I mention the fact 

 that it takes nearly a million plants a year to supply 

 my demand. It is popular North. East, South and 

 West We have many good reports on this variety, but 

 it is "so well known " I presume it is needless to print 

 them here. 



HELEN GOULD -Originated by J. R. Peck, of 



Missouri, and introduced by 

 M Crawford, of Cuyahoga Falls. Ohio. As I have not 

 been able to test this variety thoroughly on my own 



, nds [ will give Mr. Crawford's description.

a customer a: E b sfilford, Mass. under date to*
