“ BISMARCK ” STRAWBERRY. 
The Bismarck is a seedling of Bubach No. 5, pollenized by the Van Deman. The plant resembles No. 5 in 
every way, only is more robust and stocky, with the same ironclad foliage. The berries are produced in abun- 
dance, outyielding No. 5 ; shape obtuse conical, never coxcombed, and is the heaviest berry we have ever seen 
or grown ; color bright scarlet, no green tips ; very firm, good flavor and shipper. Season medium to very 
late; size larger than No. 5, excelling Mary, Timbrell, H. W. Beecher, Holland and Sharpless as grown here. 
Blossom perfect. In putting out the Bismarck, we guarantee it to uphold our claims made for it above — to be 
the largest, most productive, good flavored market or home berry yet introduced. It will make scores of 
friends. It needs good, strong soil for best results in maturing its immense crop of luscious berries. 
Price, 50 cts. per dozen, $2.50 per 100, $20 per 1,000. 
SUNNYSIDE. 
Originated in Massachusetts. Introduced with the following description : “ 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 hundred varieties as the most showy berry.” It was the most productive variety grown at the 
New York Experiment Station in 1893. Has not fruited here. 
Price, 50 cents per dozen, $1.50 per 100, $6 per 1,000. 
BRUNETTE. 
Mr. G. Cowing, the originator, with whom it has fruited seven years, 
has described it thus : ‘‘This variety, in its combination of delicious 
flavor and beauty, has probably taken a step in advance of any variety 
now- generally cultivated. 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 culti- 
vated. Flower perfect. The fruit is quite firm, very handsome, and 
remarkable for its exquisite flavor. It is the most attractive Strawberry 
in my collection, and readily sells for from three to five cents per quart 
more than my best Bubachs and Haverlands, on account of its superior 
qualities. Fortwoseasonsinvalids at Muncie have sent regularly three 
miles into the country to its originator for Brunette berries, because they 
claimed it was the only variety they could eat with impunity.” 
Prof. J. Troop, of the Indiana Experiment Station, places it at the 
head of all varieties at the Station for delicious flavor. 
t The following is the report of the Ohio Experiment Station for 1894 : 
“ Berries medium to large ; conical to roundish, very uniform and regu- 
lar in size and form; dark red, glossy and beautiful in appearance; 
quality excellent, comparable with the Prince of the Berries in this 
particular; plants vigorous, healthy and fairly productive. For the 
home garden this variety is unequaled, and in some markets would no 
doubt prove profitable. This variety has been on trial several seasons, 
and thus far stands at the head for the home garden.” 
Price, 50 cents per dozen, $1.50 per 100, $10 per 1,000.
