Sample 



The berries are large, 

 bright red, with a smooth 

 glossy surface. The 

 Sample is not only one 

 of the most beautiful 

 late berries, but one of 

 the largest and most 

 prolific. The berries lie 

 in piles along the row, 

 and are so uniform that 

 it is seldom necessary t<> 

 sort them, even by those 

 who practise doing so. 

 It is an excellent shipper, 

 a good canner and a 

 good all-round berry. 

 The blossoms are extra- 

 large for a pistillate va- 

 riety. It is a good berry 

 for the experienced 

 grower, and a safe one 

 for the amateur.

Senator Dunlap 



One of those healthy plants that, if given half a chance, will look out for itself wherever you plant it. 

 The foliage is tall, upright, with a long leaf, and has more than the ordinary power of developing a heavy 

 crown-system. Its roots go down into the subsoil for moisture, and it is thought that a severe drought has 

 less effect on it than some others. Mr. Reasoner, the originator, claims that Senator Dunlap has started 

 to encircle the globe, and, judging from our own sales, he is about right. It has an extra-long flowering 

 season; the bloom is handsome and exceedingly rich in pollen, which makes it valuable to plant with such 

 pistillate kinds as ripen in its season. I have fruited this berry almost since its origin, and find it one of 

 the best medium-sized, early to midseason varieties. The fruit is dark red with a glossy finish, shading to 

 a deep scarlet on the underside, with prominent yellow seeds resembling gold embedded in highly colored 

 wax. The meat is bright 

 red all through, and is ex- 

 ceedingly juicy. For a 

 medium-sized, very pro- 

 ductive, early to mid- 

 season berry you need not 

 hesitate to plant Senator 

 Dunlap, it will pay as a 

 market or home -garden 

 berry. 



Saunders. This is one 

 of the few varieties that 

 give best results on me- 

 dium or light soil. It is 

 certainly a good berry, 

 and no one would go far 

 wrong in planting it. The 

 fruit is large and a dark, 

 glossy red; comparatively 

 few seeds; flesh firm, good 

 flavor. Blossoms perfect. 



Sharpless. An old fa- 

 vorite, and a good many 

 are still asking for it, 

 especially to plant in the 

 garden for the home 

 table. Too well known 

 to need an extended de- 

 scription.
