General List 
BISMARCK (Perfect). We have in Bismarck an extraordinary large berry, glossy, fine 
color, good shape and good qiiality, with vigorous plants, f\ill of \ilality. It ripc-s all 
over at once, having no green tips, and the berries are quite firm and an excellent shiijpcr. 
Season medium early. 
BRANDYWINE (Perfect). Sea.son medium to late. One of the heaviest fruiters and 
a splendid 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. 
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 moder- 
ately firm, and owing to their quality, good size, earliness and fresh color, sell quickly and 
bring in good returns. 
EXCELSIOR (Perfect). This is a valuable, early, perfect-blossoming strawberry. 
Large, fine color, vigorous plant, firm, productive and desirable for home use or for market. 
After repeated trials we do not hesitate to say that we know of no other early strawberry 
that is its equal. Successful on all soils. 
GANDY (Perfect). This superb late variety is second to none as a fine, handsome, 
beautiful, firm, fine-flavored, late herry. The fruit always brings the highest market price. 
This is one of the most profitable berries to grow for a fancy market or for home use, where 
quality is the first consideration. 
GLEN MARY (Perfect). A choice variety that will well repay extra care and culture, 
delighting the amateur; and one that is profitable, also, in a fancy market. The berries 
are large, bright glossy crimson, and so handsome as to bring the highest price; moderately 
firm and fine in flavor. The plant is vigorous and healthy, very productive, and the berries 
maintain their large size until the close of the season. Season medium to late. 
HAVERLAND (Imp,). The smallest plants of the 
Haverland bear abundantly. The fruit is long and 
large, light red, very attractive, moderately firm; 
season early. A valuable berry for home use. 
JOHNSON'S EARLY (Perfect). A good variety if 
grown in thin matted rows, but if allowed to set all 
the plants it will make, it will become so thickly mat- 
ted in the row that it cannot mature a crop. The 
berries are medium size, deep red and excellent 
quality. One of the earliest. 
JESSIE (Perfect). A highly colored berry of excel- 
lent quality, succeeding best m heavy and stiff soils 
of high fertility. 
. KANSAS (Imp.). The plant is an extremely vig- ■ 
ofous grower, and as free from disease or rust as any 
ever grown. Its fruit is a brilliant crimson, not only 
on the surface, but through and through. This 
feature, together with its very strong strawberry 
flavor, will make it, when it becomes better known, 
perhaps the most popular strawberry for canning 
ever yet produced. Time of ripening, late. It is 
very productive of fine medium to large berries that make a very handsome showing 
in the package, and always attract the best buyers, and the berry is firm enough to 
make a good commercial variety. 
MARSHALL (Perfect). The plant is large and strong; very prolific; 110 berries have 
been counted on a single plant. The fruit is handsome and attractive; very large, fourteen 
berries having been known to fill a quart box. Of perfect form; dark crimson when fully 
ripe, but coN'crs all over a light crimson before ripe, and is thus vakiable for market. Qual- 
ity and flavor excellent. 
NEW YORK. This variety is fast becoming a favorite. It is a cross of Bubach 
and Jessie. Mr. Kellogg says: "New York is a fancy berry for fancy trade. Very 
large, bright red, strong foliage, and heavy fruiter." 
SAMPLE (Imp.). This new berry originated in Massachusetts. It is of large size, 
quite firm, commences to ripen mid-season and continues till very late, keeping up a
