Special Varieties. 
Beverly. Plant very vigorous, upright grower ; foli- 
age healthy, no trace of ruspor blight, and leafage 
sufficient to protect blossoms from frost. Blossoms , 
perfect, strong, staminate. Berry large, conical, I 
perfect form, bright, glossy crimson, and colors all 
over ; flesh pink, texture firm ; very superior flavor, 1 
resembling the wild berry. Remarkably large to 
the last ; season medium to late ; productive. 25 
cts. per doz., 50 cts. per loo, $3. 50 per 1,000. 
Bisel. (P.) This is a seedling of the Wilson, propa- 
gated in 1887. Blossoms are pistillate. Plants 
healthy, vigorous growers and abundant plant- 
makers. They have long, finely-matted roots, which 
enable them to stand severe droughts. The fruit is 
very large, luscious, and firm ; color, a deep glossy 
red, with a double calyx. Very productive. Season 
same as the Crescent, but continues to fruit later; 
very uniform in shape and size. 35 cts. per dozen, 
75 cts. per 100, $5 per 1,000. 
Dayton. This is a strong, healthy, vigorous and up- 
right grower, entirely free from rust, and its large 
foliage protects the blossoms from frost. In color it 
is somewhat darker than the Crescent ; solid, a good 
shipper, of fine form and excellent flavor. It is an 
immense yielder of very large fruit, and holds out 
well in size to the end of the season — a quality lack- 
ing in many of the newer sorts. 25 cts. per dozen, 
50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
JEInhauce. One of the perfect-flowered varieties that 
gave a good crop in spite of frost. Nearly equal to 
the pistillate varieties in this respect. The plants 
are very vigorous and almost perfectly healthy, and 
but little inferior to the best pistillate sorts in pro- 
ductiveness. It isstrictlya market sort, however, 
as it is too acid and ill-shaped to suit amateurs. 
25 cts. per dozen, 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
GREENVILLE. 
Greenville. The following is the official report of the 
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station of 1891 : “ The 
Greenville is a strong competitor of the Bubach, and 
indeed bears some resemblance to that variety. The 
plants are a shade lighter in color than the Bubach, 
makea stronger growth, and are quite as productive. 
The berries average a little smaller than Bubach, but 
are more uniform in size and regular in outline, and 
of finer texture. It seems probable that the Green- 
ville will have the important advantage over the 
Bubach of being a better shipper.” 
“ Have nothing to take back of what we have said 
in the former reports regarding Greenville. It is a 
first-class market berry, and is good enough forborne 
use. The plants are healthy and productive ; the 
berries offair size and attractive. I rank Greenville 
as among the best.” — W. J. Green, Ohio Ex. Sta- 
tion. 25 cts. per dozen, 60 cts. per 100, 83.50 per 1,000. 
Mnskiugum. We have been cultivating and testing 
this variety for about eight years. It makes a large, 
perfect blossom on good, stout fruit stems, and is 
very prolific in bearing, and in vigor and growth of 
plant is not surpassed by any. The berries are 
of large size, and continue large to the end of the 
season. Color glossy red. 25 cts. per dozen, 
50 cts. per 100, 84 
per 1,000. 
Parker Earle. 
Plant very robust, 
strong, penetra- 
ting roots ; enor- 
mously produc- 
tive; flowers per- 
fect, protected 
from late frosts 
b y abundant 
leaves ; trusses 
strong, long and 
large ; berries reg- 
ular, conical, short 
neck ; glossy scar- 
let, crimson, firm; 
it shows well sev- 
eral days after 
picking, and 
brings the highest 
prices in the mar- 
ket ; season me- 
dium to late. Ber- 
ries on long, strong 
stalks, held well 
above the ground ; Parker earle. 
does best in hills. 
25 cts. per dozen, 75 cts. per 100, 85 per 1,000. 
Princess. (P.) “ I know of nothing that will give 
better returns to the grower than this variety. In 
size it will average about with Bubach, but is far su- 
perior to this variety in every particular. Bubach 
will have some berries that are larger, but the ave- 
rage crop of Princess is the best. Plants are very 
hardy, vigorous and productive, root deep, stand 
drought well, and hold up well to the end of the 
season. Quality good. 25 cts. per dozen, 50 cts. 
per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
Princeton Chief. (P.) A tall, luxuriant grower, 
with large, dark foliage, free from rust or disease, and 
compares favorably in productiveness with the best 
of the standard sorts. The berries are medium to 
large, borne on long stems, of a dark glossy crimson ; 
firm and of good quality. It is a good shipping berry, 
and is deservedly popular at the West. Late. 25 cts. 
per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
Sliucklcss. The distinguishing characteristic is in- 
dicated by itsname. In picking it parts readily from 
the stem, the shucks remaining no the stem instead 
of the berry. This is not only a novel feature, but 
one of the greatest practical value, inasmuch as the 
berries are ready for the table as soon as picked. 
50 cts. per dozen, Si. 50 per 100. 
Splendid. A well-named variety that has stood the 
tests of eight years. Fruit nearly as large as Bubach, 
second early, holds of good size through the season ; 
smooth, bright red, far above the average in quality 
and appearance. Plant a luxuriant, healthy grower 
and abundant bearer. Desirable for both home and 
market planting. 25 cts. per dozen, 60 cts. per 100, 
$5 per 1,000. 
Tennessee Prolific. This is a seedling of Crescent 
and Sharpless, inheriting great productiveness from 
Crescent and very large size from the Sharpless. No 
variety has ever before become so widely and quickly 
popular. A perfect bloomer, that has had nothing 
but praise on all sides. Large and productive as 
Bubach, several days earlier, and a staminate, are 
the claims of its many friends in Virginia. The 
plant is clean, dark and vigorous in foliage, produc- 
ing an abundance of strong plants. Price reduced 
to 25 cts. per dozen, 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000.
