SELECTED TREES, PLANTS, ETC. 
TIMBREL, L,. (P.) 
The vine is a vigorous, rank grower, with dark, thick foliage ; berry large and symmetrical, dark crimson 
color, extending through the flesh when fully ripe. Bears abundantly, and being very solid, stands shipment 
well. We commend this berry to all our patrons as the best late 
variety in existence. It has a combination of qualities making it a 
peer of any six varieties in existence. In quality it has no equal ; it 
is superior to many of the sorts which have only size to recommend 
them. It is a healthy and vigorous grower, productive, with berries 
averaging large size. Being a late bloomer, we have never known it 
to fail a full crop. Price, 35 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
BRANDYWINE. 
This fine new Strawberry has a perfect blossom and its fruit colors 
all over. Its season is rather late. It has a large green calyx that adds to 
the attractiveness of the fruit. The berries are very large, nearly always 
of regular, conical form ; color, bright glossy red ; flesh firm and very 
excellent quality. One of the most promising of the newer berries. Price, 
25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $4 per 1,000, 
CHAMPION OF 
ENGLAND. 
This berry was brought from England 
by an English gardener some years 
ago, and has been kept and grown by 
him exclusively for market. He has 
been able to lead all other growers in 
sale and price, whatever varieties they 
might have, getting nearly double the 
price. The plant is one of the strong- 
est grown, very large and healthy It 
has a perfect blossom, and is medium 
early. The fruit is immense in size ; 
some have been exhibited that meas 
ured 6 inches in circumference, and 
14 berries of it have filled a quart 
CHAMPION OF ENGLAND. basket. The berry has a bright, pol- 
ished surface, and is unusually firm for 
so large a fruit. So we offer it with great confidence for market or home use, 
for it seems to be all that can be desired in a berry. Price, 50 cts. per doz., 
$ 2 per 100, $12 per 1,000. 
SUNNYSIDE. 
Originated in Massachusetts. Introduced with the following dc 
scription : “ 1 . It is the latest; ripens here in Massachusetts about 
July 1 . 2 . It is very vigorous, and never rusts. 3 . It is immensely 
productive. 4 . It is a most excellent shipper. 5 . It is by all odds 
the handsomest berry ever exhibited, and would be selected among a 
liundre’d varieties as the most showy berry.” It was the most pro- 
ductive variety grown at the New York Experiment Station in 1893. 
Has not fruited here ; but is certainly worth a fair trial. Price, 
25 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $5 per 1,000. 
ENORMOUS. 
From Southern Illinois. Sent 
out by the originator of the Bubach 
as equal to that variety in size, and 
much more productive. It has made 
a good record generally, and may 
be classed as a safe variety to plant. 
It is a good grower and bearer, has 
a pistillate blossom, and is not easily 
iujured by a late frost. The fruit is 
very large, often irregular in shape, 
rather early, firm and of good quality. 
Price, 25 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, 
$5 per 1,000. 
BRANDYWINE. 
IDEAL. 
“A strong, vigorous plant with perfect blossoms. Fruit large to 
very large, calyx prominent. The berry is broadly heart shaped, very 
uniform in shape, never cockscombed ; color bright scarlet ; flesh, very 
firm, deep scarlet throughout, quality excellent. Vines very productive. 
Begins ripening with Dayton, about four days ahead of the Bubach, but 
continues in bearing much longer.” This is the description of J W • 
Kerr, the originator, and it is borne out by many who have tried Ideal. 
Price, 40 cts. per doz., $1 per 100. 
BRUNETTE. 
Mr. G. Cowing, the originator, with whom it has fruited seven years, 
has described it thus : “ Its berries are above medium size, round and 
almost invariably perfect ; of a dark mahogany color when fully ripe a 
shade darker than Warfield— and without any white tip. The plant is a 
strong grower, and as free from rust as any variety now cultivated. 
Flower perfect. The fruit is quite firm, very handsome, and remarkable 
for its exquisite flavor.” Price, 35 cts. per doz., $1 per 100, $7 per 1,000.
