TYPICAL SPECIMENS OF GOODELL AND MARSHALL BERRIES 
HERE we show a berry of each of two varieties— the one on the right the Marshall, the one on the left the Goodell. One of 
them, the Marshall, has enjoyed for twenty years a universal popularity; the other promises to share with Marshall the 
latter's extraordinary popularity all along the Pacific Coast. The Marshall is so well known as to require no special mention 
here except to say that our strain of this variety, if anything, is more vigorous and prolific at this time than it was nineteen 
years ago, when we first introduced it to our customers. As to Goodell, the experience thus far had with this variety in Wash- 
ington and Oregon indicates that it is to take a place along side, not only of Marshall, but of Magoon and Clark's Seedling in its 
wonderful productiveness. To this quality is added those of fine form, fine color and fine flavor. This is the first year we have 
offered Goodell to Pacific Coast friends, but we do it with complete confidence that they will find thisvariety in every respect ideal. 
roots of the plants just as you would do if you 
were setting a tomato or a cabbage plant, and 
the work will be done neatly and with dispatch. 
NOT long ago we received a letter from one of 
our customers saying that she had purchased 
quite a number of plants from a local nursery, 
had set them out with care, but, although the 
fruiting season was past, she had had no fruit 
whatever. We investigated the mat-

without mentioning the fact; indeed, we found 
out that the local nurseryman from whom she 
bought them did not even know there was a 
question of sex in plants. If you will note our 
aescriptions of varieties, you will see that every 
variety has following it a letter (B) or (P). (B) 
stands for the word, bisexual, which means, of 
course, that the variety thus indicated is both 
staminate and pistillate, or what is known as a 
perfect-flowering plant. It also is designated as 
a "male" plant. The bisexual plants require 
no mating, but will yield full crops of fruit when 
set entirely to themselves. On the other hand, 
the plants marked (P) are pistillate only and un- 
less they are pollenized by a bisexual or male 
or perfect- flowering plant they will yield no 
fruit. If you will note the illustration on Page 
26 of this book, you will see that in the center 
of the bisexual flowers the pistils are surround- 
ed by anthers or bulb-like protrusions. These 
bulbs are filled with a flour-like substance called 
pollen which not only fertilizes the pistils that 
they surround, but this pollen is carried to other 
pistils all over the patch and this fertilizes or 
pollenizes all pistils with which it comes into 
contact and thus every blossom becomes a berry. 
If you will note the illustration at the top of 
Page 27, you will see that none of these anthers 
appear, as the illustration is of pistillate flowers. 
WE explain this matter fully so that everyone 
may understand how necessary it is that 
one always should set bisexual plants, and that 
where the pistillate varieties also are chosen they 
should be so arranged that the pollen of the bi- 
sexuals will reach the bloom of the 
pistillate plants. In order that com- ^""P". '^"""S 
plete pollenation may be secured, af'Mies 
we advise the setting of pistillate varieties be- 
tween rows of bisexuals of the same season. Or, 
one may set the pistillate varieties between 
bisexuals of an earlier and a later season. In 
arranging the plants, if you desire to do so, 
you may set one row of pistillates, or two 
rows, or as many as three rows of pistillates, be- 
tween the two rows of bisexuals, as pollen will 
easily be carried over several rows of plants. As 
pistillate varieties frequently are the heaviest of 
yielders (a case in point is our wonderful Kel- 
logg's Prize), growers prefer to set a greater 
number of pistillate varieties than of bisexual 
varieties. Therefore by arranging three rows of 
pistillates between flanking rows of bisexuals 
this may be done with full assurance of securing 
the largest possible yields from the pistillate va- 
rieties. For instance, if you wish to set largely 
of Haverland, which is a pistillate, you should first 
set one row of Senator Dunlap, then three rows
