land, originated by B. T. Ingram, of Pennsylvania. Both plant and fruit are large, 
and the latter is fine in shape, color and flavor. Our stock is small. 
Bubach. I.— Midseason, rather early. Originated by J. G. Bubach, of Prince- 
ton 111., nearly thirty years ago. The vigor and productiveness of its plants and 
the astonishing size of its fruit made it popular at once, and it has held its own, not- 
withscanding the fact that it is not a good shipper. 
Chesapeake. P.— Late. A Maryland berry, produced by John W. Parks, 
Seven years ago it won W. F. Allen's prize of |100 offered for the best dozen plants 
of any unintroduced variety sent him. There were more than a hundred kinds in 
competition, and the Chesapeake won easily. The plants are rugged and healthy, 
with thick, substantial foliage. Not having fruited it we will borrow our descrip- 
tion: "It ripens about with Gandy, but is rather larger, and much more productive." 
The Ohio Experiment Station report says- "Large, conical; usually smooth and reg- 
ular; color rich, dark crimson, glossy. Flesh pink or red, very firm, and of good 
quality." 
Chipman. P. — Early. A native of Delaware, and much admired thereabout, 
where it has been grown as a market berry for several years. This is the first time 
■we have ofiered it for sale, and we compile our description from the catalog of W, 
F. Allen: "The plants are strong, upright in growth, large and healthy, with glossy 
green foliage that has never shown any signs of rust or disease. The fruit is large, 
dark red, bright and glossy, and retains its bright color a long time after being 
picked. It is very firm and of good quality. Ripens four or five days earlier than 
Bubach." 
Colossus. I. — Midseason. A seedling of Bubach, and much like its famous 
progenitor in both plant and fruit. Very productive, and the berries are enormous. 
Columbia. I — Late in both blooming and ripening. Our description is arrang- 
ed from that of Prof. O. M, Taylor, of the N. Y. Experiment Station. "Plants very 
numerous, strongly vigorous, healthy, very productive. Fruit large, often very 
large, wedge to roundish conic, attractive, glossy light scarlet. Seeds numerous, 
raised. Flesh well colored, firm, agreeably acid, good to very good in quality. 
Picks easily. Retains size well as season advances. One of the most promising 
kinds." On the Station grounds in 1907 it yielded at the rate of 10,000 quarts per 
acre. 
Cooper. P. — Medium to late. Originated by Samuel Cooper, of Delavan, N. Y. 
A vigorous grower making plants freely and also a liberal yielder. Berries of 
medium size, about like Warueld, conical, uniform, beautiful glossy red with yellow 
seeds. Flesh firm and of delicious flavor. 
Dicky. P. — Medium to late. A Massachusetts berry, produced by J. D. Gowring. 
We repeat a former description. "The plants are very large, perfectly healthy, and 
wonderfully vigorous. It is said to be as productive as Sample, and to make a very 
long season. Berries roundish; color red; flesh red and firm; flavor rich and refresh- 
ing; calyx green and double; seeds on surface and skin not easily broken." 
Early Ozark. P. — Early. From Charles Shull of Missouri, a cross between 
Aroma and Excelsior. This was in great demand last spring, and we sold all the plants 
we dared to part with, and were obliged to return many orders. We reserved a few 
plants for our own setting, and as we offer it only by the dozen this spring we hope 
to have enough to supply the demand. The plant is healthy, with full, dark green 
foliage, and exceedingly productive. Blossoms large, and rich in pollen; fruit firm, 
good, and of great size. Said to be ' 'the largest extremely early berry ever introduced. " 
Ekey. P. — Early medium and makes a very short season. From E. H. Ekey of 
southeastern Ohio. This fine berry has been before the public four years, and has
