DESCRIPUVE PRECE I/3T OF CHOICE STR VW BERRY PLANTS. 



Woolverton. — I have fruited this in both hills and matted rows, and am con- 

 vinced that it is a variety of great merit. Wherever it has been tested it has made 

 a good record. It is a splendid grower, remaining green and healthy all summer, 

 sending out a good number of runners, and bearing abundantly. The blossom is 

 perfect, and it remains in bloom a long time. In fact it always matures a part of 

 its crop before it is done blooming. This is a valuable characteristic, because it 

 will prevent any great loss by a late frost, and also make it a rare variety to plant 

 with pist iila* es. The fruit is very large, resembling the Bubach in form, except 

 that the first, and largest berry on the stem is often more irregular. The color is a 

 beautiful, bright red, and the quality is good. I am very glad to be at liberty to 

 offer this variety to my customers as I think it is one that will give satisfaction. It 

 was originated by John Little, of Canada, and named for the editor of the Canadian 

 Horticul urist. * 



Mr. M. Crawford writes the originator as follows: 



Cuyahoga Falls, O., Dec. 15, 1891. 



Dear Fkiend Little: — Aiter fruiting the Woolverton three times, both in hills 

 and matted rows, and under various conditions, I am of the opinion that it is one 

 of the most valuable ever introduced. In fact, I am always surprised to see how 

 well it does. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower, very healthy, makes a suffic- 

 ient number of strong runners, and is a very good bearer. The blossom is perfect 

 and it remains in bloom a long time. The fruit is large to very large. I have had 

 it seven inches in circumference, rarely misshapen, bright glossy red, firm and of 

 good quality. Mr. W. J. Green, of the Ohio Experiment Station, one of the most 

 careful and accurate men, reports substantially as above. I had his verbal report 

 at the meeting of the State Society some days ago. — M. Crawford.
