BISMAQK, (Perfect)— The B ism ark is a seedling of Bubach No. S.poUenized 

 by tht) VaiKleiiiuii, thf^ plHUt resembles ^ 



Bubach No. o m e\t'ry way only more ro- 

 bust and stocky, with the same ironclad 

 foliage. The berries are produced in 

 abundance, outyielding Bubach, shape ob- 

 tuse conical, never coxcombed and is the 

 heavit^Ht berry w« have ever seen or grown 

 Color bright scarlet, no green tips, very 

 firn;. g,jod flavor and shipper. Season 

 medium to very late, size larger than Bu- 

 bach,: excelling Mary, H. W. Beecher, 

 Holland and sharpless as grown here. 



li) putting out the Bismark we guar- 

 anteed it to uphold our claims made for it 

 above, to be the largest most productive 

 good flavored home berry yet introduced. 

 It will make a score of friends where the 

 Van Deman (originated by us) made one. 

 It needs good strong soil 1 or bes*-. results 

 in maturing its immense crop of large luscious berries, 

 above in every assertion. — Originator. 



This variety growing here on our soil is all that can be asked for in- pisaat 

 growth. Plants robust, dark green leaves, no rust, similar in plant to Bofeadb- 

 but much more vigorous. We shall plant Bismark for fruit and do not esp^B^ 

 to be disappoint^^d. We have probably the largest stock of this in the TJBi^e^ 

 States, direct from the originators grounds. Orders should come early fop iM& 

 or you may miss it. 



ARROW— E. W. Cone, the originator speaks of it as follows; ''TMb is & 

 seedling of Haverland, originated at my hands in 1890 and fruited for the- Mjs^ 

 time the following year. Unlike many seedlings it has seemed to increase- ±e 

 vigor and size with each successive fruiting. A strong vein of its eresesass. 

 blood is marked in the plant, which is of very vigorous habit, with a bright si^j 

 healthy foliage, absolutely free from rust in all seasons. The fruit ripens -vr^^ 

 Haverland and resembles it closely in form, but is much brighter in color^ fiaraaQ— 

 er in texture and of higher flavor. On my soil it is very nearly, if not quifee-y »&^ 

 productive as Haverland, both in quarts and in number of berries, for, th€>ejg3fe' 

 falling below Haverland in size of its largest specimens, it contains a gpeafts:?-. 

 uniformity in size and shape. It inherits the valuable characterietiey sae 

 notable in its parents, of l)earing a pistillate flower that is easily fertilized^ iayn?- 

 ing some pollen of its own, and occasionally a bi-sexual blossom is seen. I c^0&*, 

 sider it as a variety of much merit and if it succeeds as well elsewhere a& ii:- 

 Wisconsin it will become very popular. 



As growing on our soil it does exceedingly well, plants healthy, showing »>■ 

 strong parentage of Crescent and Haverland. Considered valuable. 



MARSHALL, (Perfect)— Plant large, showing some sign of rust, the be^ry 

 is as fine as we ever saw at its time of ripening. 



Mr. Crawford says: "I have fruited Marshall twice and T am very mi^ci.' 

 pleased with it, I know of no other berry that is as fine looking. The pkoit^ 

 is faultless. The blossom is perfect and it is a good bearer. It is refreshing;! ftcj- 

 see such large hpsilthy plants. The fruit is immense of regular roundish fossa., 

 a dark glossy red and' of better quality than is often found in very large bewle&y.
