with a rich aromatic flavor distinctly its own, make this the raost desirable ber- 

 ry, tor its money value in market, that we have ever seen. Blossom imperfect, 

 with some stamens partially developed. It has not lruitt*d apart from stami- 

 nate sorts, but its Ki*^at productiveness indicates to us that it is imperffect, as it 

 is among this chtss that all the heavy bearers are lound. No one at all inter- 

 ested in straw beirries can ajB^ord to let this variety go another year untried." — 

 Introducer. 



GREENVILLE, (Imperfect)— This variety i^* very reliable in some sections; 

 similar to Bubach, but probably not so good fruit, 

 more round and more prolific in plant growth. It 

 has been planted as a general pu pose berry. 



Alton, 111. — The Greenville pleases me well, it 

 was large, good ool<^r. good grower and berries held 

 out well in size. J. S. Brown, Experiment Station 



Quakertown, Pa. — I think very highly of the 

 Greenville strawberry and will plant it more ex- 

 tensively this year. J. P. Clymer. 



H. E. Vandeman, Ex-U. S. Pomologist, says 

 that GrecMville was one of the best this season. 



JESSIE— When it succeeds often the largest 

 berry grown, and it probably has cleared the grow 

 er more cash than any one berry in the state. Said Greenville. 



to have cleared eleven hundred dollars on one acre. Should be planted on 

 springy rich loam. Plant a vigorous grower, blossoms very early, and wnen 

 the spring frosts do not kill it, it succeeds well; one of the largest; irregular in 

 size. Perfect blossom. Our plants of this are beauties. 



BEDAR WOOD, (Per.)— We have fruited it twice and found it a very fine 

 bei-ry. We think it is one that can be depended on, altogether a few days be- 

 hind Mitchel's Early, it lasts longer; medium size, quality good, and a wonder- 

 ful bearer. It will stand a drouth that others will not, as the plant sends out 

 long roots. Foliage very healthy, makes abundance of plants. It is very pro- 

 ductive and one of the best early varieties, Our plants of this are very fine and 

 we will be pleased to supply all who ask for them. It rusts badly, but in spite 

 of that it gives a good crop. 



BUBACH NO. 5, (Imp.)— This will be one of the leaders for a long time if 

 the nurserymen do not run it out because it does not make plants more freely; 

 this fruited with Sharpless; has netted five hundred dollars (^500) profit on one 

 acre. At a recent display or seedlings of Sharpless they showed that this varie- 

 ty had held its size better than any other variety that has been grown for the 

 same length of time. 



6ANDY — The best late strawberry yet introduced and the leading late va- 

 riety with fruit growers all over the country. In size and firmness it is all that 

 can be desired, and in vigor of plant and growth it is eminently satisfactory. 

 The berries are large, very uniform, bright crimson color, handsome and showy, 

 firm and good quality. Requires good soil and culture and with these it cannot 

 be excelled as a late berry for size, beauty and general appearance. Very 

 profitable for a fancy market. Late to very late. Shy bearer here. Pef ect 

 blossom. 



Our stock of this variety is from the* best strain and we can supply our cus- 

 tomers with fine plants.
