SPIiENDID (Per.) A very productive vari- 
ety of medium size. Must be Icept thin In order 
to Iceep from getting too thiclc in the row for 
best results, as it surely will do if left to have 
its own way. Has a strong staminate blossom, 
and is a good one for pollenizing such pistil- 
late varieties as Warfield, Crescent and others 
of that type. Splendid does well in sections 
where the Ben Davis apple is grown. 
STKVENS' LATE CHAMPION (Per.). This 
new late variety seems to do well wherever 
tested. Very large, fine flavored, bright color, 
good shipper, a fine bed maker, a heavy 
yielder, fine foliage. It ripens later than the 
Gandy and lasts until the Fourth of July. 
It certainly is a very strong and healthy 
grower, and a prolific bearer. For late 
market it is ahead of Gandy. 
UNCI/E JIM (Per.). Very large size; im- 
mensely productive, reliable variety, rich 
color, good flavor, fine for table or market: 
should be included in every collection. 
Uncle Jim is also known as Dornan, and we 
believe is sold under several other names; 
it is good enough for them all. We have 
such a nice thrifty stock of them that we 
think you should have some with every collec- 
tion of strawberries. 
WARFIEI/D (Imp.). One of the oldest, best known 
varieties of strawberries grown, and it still has many 
staunch friends scattered everywhere, who have grown 
it regularly and still find it one of the best. It is a good 
sized berry, good color, fine flavor, very productive. 
WM. BEI/r (Per.). A very fancy berry in every way; 
in size it is all one can ask. of the very finest flavor, 
beautiful bright red color, grown for fancy trade. It 
commands the top prices on every market, very prolific, 
plant free grower, and should be in every collection of 
It is one of the most attractive berries that ever was put up 
in a box; has a nice green calyx and the berry, which is fire red, has an 
extra blush at its tip, the color radiating makes it one that you will notice 
among the best. A most tempting and delicious berry, looks like a 
blushing June bride, and who could help but like it.

fancy fruit. 
Dewberries 
Dewberries are now largely planted in a commercial 
way. They resemble blackberries in almost every par- 
ticular except the habit of the vines, which are of a dis- 
tinct trailing nature. They may be allowed to run on 
the ground or they may be trained on wires like grapes, 
except that the wires need be but 24 inches high. The 
dewberry is, if anything, a better flavored fruit than 
the blackberry and they produce much larger crops. 
You will need gloves in picking them. 
liUCRETIA. May be left to sprawl on the ground or 
else tied up on stakes or trellises like grape vines. 
Propagates from tips lilte black raspberries and never 
suckers. Prune severely. Best of its class, ripening 
before any blackberry. Very large, wonderfully pro- 
ductive and of very best quality.

Bridgman Nursery Co.; 
Dear Sirs, — I have bought Everbearing Straw- 
berry plants from different nurseries and always 
got something else, but I will say that the plants 
you sent me were as you said and did all you said 
they would do. I was never surprised as much 
as I was when the plants began to bear. You 
certainly have the goods. With best wishes for 
your success, I remain. 
Yours respectfully, 
FRED SHALZ.
