BUBACK- has. J. Hyde. 

 of Lee Co.. Iowa, 

 says : . ach were I 



aest berries and brought 

 the best price : in fact, in my 

 experience in strawberry grow- 



1 15 years I have neve 

 anv berries to equal the 

 bach." This is pretty strong 

 testimony, but there are many 

 growers who will agree with Mr. 

 Hvde in his statement. Notwith- 

 standing that many nurserymen 

 have dropped this variety. I find 

 that there is still a great demand 

 for it; were it not so I would 

 drop it myself, as the plants are 

 hard to grow and there is but 

 little profit in it, and I would 

 not be ablf to furnish as many 

 plants as I do but for the fact 

 that within a few miles of me 

 there is a section where this va- 

 riety seems to thrive remarkably 

 well, and I arrange to have my 

 plants grown in this particular 

 section especially for me. when: 

 I can get good, strong, healthy, 

 vigorous plants. 



I have been more fortunate than 

 usual this season and have quite 

 a good supply, possibly as much 

 as 300. 00o. I think these plants 

 will please my customers who 

 like the Buhach, and whil" there 

 may not be enough for all who 

 want this variety, we will 

 nish them as Ion; as the stock 

 lasts in the order in which the 

 orders are received. The Buhach 

 has proven a money-making va- 

 riety with many growers who 

 contin' land plants from 



year to year. Where 

 rich and adapted to the v: 

 It will bod up enough for best 

 results for fruiting an*l 

 large crops of handsome, large, 

 weil-flavored berries.
