Bubach No. 5. ( P) This will be one of the leaders for a long time if the 
nursery men do not run it out because it does not make plants more freely. At a 
display of the seedlings of Sharpless, they showed that this variety had held its 
size better than any other variety that has been grown the same length of time. 
Beder Wood. (S) This variety originated by Beder Wood, of Illinois. It 
is a very heavy bearer of good sized roundish fruit (about as firm as the Bubach); 
season early, a good staminate to fertilize early varieties like the Crescent and 
Warfield. The plant is a good healthy grower and sends out a large number of 
runners. 
Barton's Bclipse. (P) A seedling of Longfellow. Very profitable and a 
heavy bearer. The fruit is of good size and nearly always good form. Will endure 
a good deal of handling; having a firm skin and slight neck; good color and a good 
runner. 
Bisel. (P) This is a seedling of the Wilson; plant healthy, vigorous grower 
and will stand drouth well. Fruit is large, luscious, and firm; color a deep glossy 
red, and very productive. Season early to medium. This was among the most 
productive here this season and is a valuable addition to any collection. 
Clyde. (S) This is one of Dr. Stay- 
man's most highly prized seedlings, it 
is a seedling of the Cyclone. Cyclone is a 
cross between the Crescent and Cumberland. 
Clyde has Crescent blood in it and no doubt 
gets its great productiveness from this 
variety. It is as large or larger than Bubach 
and several days earlier, and firmer. It is a 
strong staminate suitable for poUenizing 
medium early pistillate varieties. The plant 
is very vigorous and healthy, there being no 
trace of disease. Foliage is light green in 
color and somewhat resembles the Haver- 
land, but is a more upright grower, ripening 
at the same season. Its abundance of long 
roots penetrate the soil deeper than most 
varieties and enables it to withstand drouth 
remarkably well. It is one of the best ber- 
ries for general purposes and no one will 
ever regret planting it. 
Catrie. (P) A seedling of the Haverland; said to be a better shipper, and 
fully as productive. The berries resemble the Haverland but were darker in 
color, and much firmer. The plants are healthy and apparently hardy and indi- 
cate great productiveness. 
Crescent. (P) The standard of productiveness all over the country; suc- 
ceeds everywhere, stands neglect best of any, plant small, berries fair size, bright 
and attractive. Many growers consider this the most profitable grown for market. 
Dew. (S) Originated near Lansing, Mich. A wonderful berry. The 
plant is strong, with large foliage of a very dark green. Fruit large and very firm, 
•of a dark, glossy red, perfect in shape; should be planted by all that can grow 
berries and want the largest that can be grown. 
Excelsior (S) New. We are proud in being able to offer our patrons this new 
extra early, large, firm, high colored shipping berry. It is immensely productive 
and will take the place of Mitchel's Early wherever tried. We strongly urge all 
our patrons to get a start of them if they are growing berries for profit. It is a 
seedling of Wilson crossed by Hoffman. Wilson shaped and colored berry; plant 
resembles Hoffman but larger and more robust. Claimed by the originator to be 
earlier, firmer, more productive and better shipper than Michael's Early.
