To Bhow the sexual organs, illustrating how poUenlzatlon takes place for the development of seeds and fruit. Figure 1 shows the 
perfect liower with Pistils (P) in center with Stamens (s) arranged around the outside. The enlarged Stamens on the left shows the 
anther (a) bursting and Pollen (p) dropping out which is carried to the pistillate or imperfect iiowers by wind and insects. Figure 2 is a 
sectional view showing the pistils or female organs. The poUen falling on the stigma (a) which secrets a waxy substance for catching 
the pollen and carries it down the style (b) to the ovaries (c) where impregnation takes place. There is a pistil for each seed and 
wherever the pollen fails to touch no seed or fruit will develop, or if the pollen is weak the berries will be small and inferior. The 
value of Pedieree Phmts, as will be seen, lies in vieor of pistils and potency of pollen and abilitv to develop fciiit instead of exceesive 
foliage. SET EVERY THIRD ROW WITH A PERFECT FtOWERISTG VARIETY MARKED (B)

these new varieties on other grounds and in differ- 
ent localities to learn their good qualities and 
defects and thus be able to prune oft and add to 
our list only sorts of the greatest value and at the 
same time reduce the number as occasion requires. 
The varieties here offered have been selected 
from several hundred now growing in my experi- 
mental grounds as being the very best. They have 
been widely tested and those introduced within the 
last few years have been carefully bred up and are 
the finest of their kind on the market. Never in 
my history of seventeen years of study in plant life 
have I had such perfect conditions in all particulars 
for plant breeding and testing varieties as at 
present. 
A look at the prices will show you how, by 
the use of a very small amount of money, you can 
start a propagating bed this spring with these Pedi- 
gree Plants and propagate your own plants for set- 
ting a year hence; or, if you wish to plant largely 
this spring, you can't afford to throw away yoiu- 
money and labor on mongrel plants. 
It will pay you big money to adopt the bet- 
ter methods and enjoy the fame of being a leader 
on the market and secure a competence for your 
family and old age. 
I point out to you nothing more than I have 
accomplished, and whereas I have spent many 
years of hard work and large sums of money in 
experimenting with these plants, you can, for a 
very small sum, stock your ground with the same 
as I have used to produce the.se large crops. 
Send in your orders as early as possible so as to 
secure the varieties you desire as all orders will be 
filled in the rotation in which they are received 
and booked. Write me whenever my experience 
can serve you. 
The illustrations are photograph half-tones 
made expressly for this book an<i serve to show the 
relati\ e types and comparative sizes of the different 
varieties. The descriptions are as we find them in 
our field notes on our testing grounds.

Aroma. (B) Season very late. Size much above 
medium, bright red flcih to center and a good shipper. One 
of the very best pollenizers for all very late sorts. It is a 
lea'ler here and will be generally planted. It will not 
disappoint you. 
Bubach. (P) Season medium late. One of the larj^e 
show berries of such excellent quality that it always cap- 
tures the market. Berries bright crimson, moderately firm 
but first-class for near market, succeeds best on ratlier 
heavy soil. 
Bederwood. (B) Very early and exceedingly pro- 
ductive. Berries above mednnn in size and briglit red. It 
is recognized as a standard sort for fertilizing all early pistil- 
late varieties. It is quite subject to rust in wet sea.sons. but 
If sprayed in the propagating bed the fungi will not be likely 
to develop in the fruiting field. 
Brandywine. (B) Season medium to late. One of 
the grandest berries ever iulroduced. It is one of our ftivor- 
ites. If you do not have it by all means get it this season. 
It is one of the heaviest fruiters, a splendid shipper and a 
"catcher" on any market. Berries very large, deep red to 
center, of the type shown in photograph. Stems short and
