and fertilize. Plant the pistillate varieties between 
the perfect flowering, having one row of the perfect to 
every two or three of the pistillate. 
One who has never tried it will be astonished to 
find how large a crop of berries can be produced on a 
few square yards in the garden, often more than 
enough to supply a large family. It is not at all un- 
usual to get two or three bushels from a plot of ground 
one rod square. 
ABINGTON (Perfect). We fruited this last season 
for the first time and were greatly pleased with it, it 
is a great cropper. Take Abington and Sample and 
you have a whole team and a strong one. It is fully 
as productive as Sample, and larger. 
ARNONT (Perfect). Has large, heavy, thick, glossy 
foliage, resembling Glen Mary. Is free to make plants. 
The berries are bright red, solid, and good flavor. It 
is productive and a good shipper. Needs strong soil 
for its development. 
BEVERLY (Perfect). A seedling of Old 
Miner's Prolific. Those who have fruited this 
berry speak in highest terms of it. It is a very 
handsome berry and sells well in market. 
BISMARCK (Perfect). We have in Bismarck 
an extraordinary large berry, glossy, fine color, 
good shape and good quality, with vigorous 
plants, full of vitality. It ripens all- over at 
once, having no green tips, and the berries are 
quite firm and an excellent shipper. Season 
medium early. 
BRANDYWINE (Perfect). Season medium to 
late. One of the heaviest fruiters and a splen- 
did shipper. Berries very large, deep red to 
center; stem short and stout, holds its great 
load of berries well up from the ground. One 
of the strongest pollenizers for pistillates of the 
season. 
BUBACH (Imp.). One of the best varieties 
we have. In productiveness unsurpassed. 
Noted for its uniform and large size. The plant is hardy and the leaves endure hot sun, 
as it is a very robust variety and does not rust. Mid-season. 
BUSTER (Imp.). It is a cross of Bubach and Sharpless, of large size, bright red. Mr- 
Allen of Maryland says: "This is a good reliable variety that I advise you to plant, it 
will please you from the time it starts to grow until you have harvested your crop." 
CHESAPEAKE (Perfect) . This variety is as late as Gandy, more productive on lighter soils 
and equal to it in size ; its shipping quality far excels that popular standard variety ; in eating 
quality it ranks among the best. 
CLIMAX (Perfect). This is an extremely popular variety, very productive, of medium 
large, rich, dark, glossy red berries of high quality, ripening early. 
CLYDE (Perfect). One of the best of the early, large-fruited varieties, yielding abund- 
antly, and is very profitable. The berries are bright in color, hold up well, being moderately 
firm, and owing to their quality, good size, earliness and fresh color, sell quickly and bring 
in good returns. 
COMMONWEALTH (Perfect). This berry won first prize two years in succession at the 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society. It is very large, dark red, solid flesh, and one of the 
latest varieties. 
CORSICAN (Perfect). The introducer says it is the biggest berry, brightest in color, 
greatest yielder on earth, most vigorous foliage, resisting fungus, drought, weeds and 
lack of cultivation, and — well, that's enough. 
CRESCENT (Imp.). Very productive, bright red, medium-sized berry. 
DIGHTON ROCK (Perfect). C. E. Carr of Massachusetts says, this is a fancy berry and 
a great cropper, and that if he were going to set out only one kind of strawberry it 
would be Dighton Rock, and thinks $500 to SI, 000 per acre could be made with it 
under high culture.
