Rewastico — Don't Miss It 



This new berry originated in Wicomico County, about twelve miles from Salisbury, with Thos. B. 

 Howard. A few of the plants were set out and have been grown in a small way by Mr. Howard for several 

 years. Some of the fruit has been shipped to Baltimore for two seasons past, the berries invariably bringinga 

 special inquiry for more of the same kind. I have heard of this berry for two or three years, but did not take 

 the time to go and see it until the past season. I had no idea of the surprise that was in store for me. The 

 color of Rewastico is a rich, deep, cardinal red, which penetrates the berry through and through. In 

 productiveness it is all that could be desired; in size it is uniformly large; in shape as perfect and uniform as 

 if turned out of a mold: in plant-growth it is healthy and vigorous; in quality it is rich, with aromatic, 

 Strawberry flavor, though somewhat tart, but is firm enough to be very popular as a market berry. I was 

 fortunate enough to procure the entire stock, one-half of which I shall plant, the other half — which will 

 only amount to a few thousands — I am offering to the public this season, and I sincerely believe that those 

 who procure plants of this variety will be fortunate. I consider it the only real competitor that the Chesa- 

 peake has ever had, and in some respects it even surpasses that popular variety. For prices see page 37.
