General List of Strawberries. 
Beder Wood. A stocky, robust plant, that makes 
runners freely ; healthy and entirely free from rust 
or blight; has perfect bloom, and is an enormous 
bearer of large, round, perfectly formed berries ; 
light scarlet color, moderately firm ; good quality ; 
very valuable for home use or near-by markets. 
25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Bubach No. 5 . (P.) One of the best. Quite large; 
plants very robust; color dark green ; has never 
shown signs of rust or blight. We fruited it this 
season on four different soils, and see no difference ; 
it did well on all. We can recommend it for field 
culture, as well as for the garden ; it is one of the 
best paying varieties. The fruit commands highest 
prices. 25cts.per doz., socts. per 100, $3.50 per 1,000. 
Burt Seedling. We value this very highly for grow- 
ing on deep, moist soil ; it has been a good producer 
with us; of good size, very firm and productive. 
We do not hesitate to recommend it for fruiting for 
profit. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1 ,000. 
Crescent. (P.) Like the Concord grape, it seems to 
be in the lead with fruit-growers. Any one can grow 
the Crescent, for it will almost take care of itself 
after it is once put in the ground. It is very hardy 
and prolific, and should not be allowed to run the 
entire season to matted rows. 25 cents per dozen, 
50 cents per 100, $2.50 per 1,000. 
Cumberland Triumph. We cultivate this variety 
extensively for fruit, as it is one of the most salable 
berries we have in our market, and sells for the high- 
est price. It is very large, not as bright in color as 
we would desire, but in past years it seemed to pro- 
duce more fruit each season. 25 cents per dozen, 
50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Eureka. (P.) This season we were taken by sur- 
prise by this berry. It was the best fruiter on our 
grounds ; the bloom comes through the frost in much 
better condition than any other variety, and pro- 
duces a good crop of beautiful fruit. It is very large; 
after the nature of Bubach, ripening late with Gan- 
dy’s Prize, and commanding a good price. We find 
that it is going to be a valuable variety for market 
growers. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per too, $3 per 1,000. 
Gandy’s Prize. Large and very late ; holds itsfruit 
well from the ground. This is the best late berry we 
have growing, all points considered. Very firm, and 
when put on the market brings the highest market 
price ; it is also valuable as a fertilizer to use with 
early varieties, making the latter end of the crop 
more perfect. We have received five cents f>er quart 
more tor Gandy than any other varieties, owing to its 
size, beauty and firmness at this late date of ripening. 
25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Haverlaml. (P.) A native of Ohio, but does not 
lose its reputation by going into other states. This 
is the most productive berry on the market to-day. 
Size large ; color light ; will not stand long ship- 
ments, but for near markets is one of the best. We 
cannot recommend the Haverland too highly, as it 
has good foliage, is a strong grower, and fruits abun- 
dantly. Some growers claim 1,000 bushels per acre 
for it ; we not make any such claims, but will say 
that it will come as near to it as any other variety. 
25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Jessie. This has been before the people long enough 
to be known, and much has been claimed lor it ; in 
fact, too much. While'it is a good berry, there are 
others as good and better on our soil, but soil makes 
all the difference in the berry. 25 cents per dozen, 
50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Lovett’s Early. A berry that can be highly recom- 
mended for loam or clay but not for sandy soil, and 
its name misrepresents it, as it is not an early va- 
riety, but mid-season ; very sour, but is a good 
shipper and very productive. Is a good staminate 
for fertilizing pistillate varieties ; a good all-purpose 
berry; color a bright crimson and firm, better for 
market than family use. 25 cents per dozen, 50 cents 
per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Michel’s Early. (P.) The introducer speaks of it 
as follows : “ This is an accidental seedling, and the 
earliest and most profitable in cultivation ; of the 
finest flavor; a perfect blossom ; as large and firm as 
the Crescent, from ten to twelve days earlier, and as 
productive. Plant the hardiest of ajl known, and 
free from rust or blight. Growing side by side with 
twenty other varieties, nothing approaches it in 
plant-growth except Bubach No. 5.” 25 cents per 
dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Meek’s Early. (P.) This we regard as the acme of 
sweetness and high, rich flavor. A berry also of 
most beautiful appearance ; plant as fine a grower 
as we have ; size uniform, though not extra large ; 
color rich, dark crimson ; very early. 25 cents per 
dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Sharpless. Size large to very large, irregular in 
shape, and dark red when fully ripe; succeeds 
well on any heavy soil, with good culture. 25 cents 
per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Shuster’s Gem. (P.) A cross between Crescent 
and Sharpless. The plant is unusually strong and 
vigorous, with bright, healthy foliage and a pistillate 
blossom. The fruit is large to very large, of glob- 
ular shape, exceedingly regular and uniform in both 
size and shape, maintaining a good size to the end 
of the season ; beautiful bright scarlet in color, and 
of excellent quality. It ripens from early to mid- 
season, continuing in bearing until late. 25 cents 
per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3.50 per 1,000. 
Warfield No. 2 . (P.) After fruiting the past season 
with us, we were more pleased with it than ever, so 
we cannot but give its former place on the list. All 
things considered, it is of the very best. Similar in 
color and someother respects to Wilson— being very 
firm— it can be shipped a longdistance. Size large ; 
plant very productive. 25 cents per dozen, 50 cents 
per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Wilson Albany. Still in the lead of all standard 
varieties at Sunny Hill Fruit Farm. We shipped 
the plants to dealers all over the United States last 
season, and they unite in saying that they were the 
finest ever seen. Can be shipped a long distance, 
and where it flourishes is a fine berry. 25 cents per 
dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Woolverton. This is one of the seedlings introduced 
by Friend John Little, of Canada; is a vigorous, 
healthy plant ; large and attractive berries ; medium 
to late ; continues long in fruit ; immense bloom and 
fruit; good to pollenize other kinds ; highly recom- 
mended. 25 cts. per doz., socts. per 100, $4 per 1,000.

SPECIAL NOTICE. 
We are heavy growers of small fruits, and can supply large lots of plants at low rates ; you also get fresh 
stock that will grow, not dried-up plants, that have been packed away. Write us for terms on large amounts. 
Estimates cost you nothing. 
We do not wish our Strawberry plants to be placed on the same plane with those grown in New 
Jersey, Delaware, and some parts of Maryland. We do not grow such stock, hence we do not wish you to com- 
pare our rates with such. Our plants are large, vigorous and healthy, and when set, you get a good growth. 
Plants grown on strong soil cannot be dug, bunched and packed as low as some dealers offer them.
