any Strawberry. The plant is the very picture of health, and most peculiar in growth, being very distinct from 
any other variety ; hence we have in Timbrell many points you cannot obtain in any other berry. 
The original painting of this grand berry was drawn true from nature. We spared no expense in this mat- 
ter, but instructed our artist to go right to the fruiting bed and make his sketches and studies from the natural 
fruit, just as it was there produced by nature. This single stem carried 26 berries. Many stems had more 
berries, but this was selected for exact reproduction because it had on it berries in all stages of growth. We 
do not believe in the usual exaggeration in making cuts or paintings for the sale of plants or any other stock ; 
we give exact facts, and wish them received as the same. A letter will be found elsewhere from our artist, 
Mr. Lunzer, which speaks for itself. 
The supply of Timbrell is still limited, owing to the great demand, and we wish to inform all that the 
stock of this berry is almost entirely in our hands, as but few plants were sold to nurserymen last spring. 
Owing to the extensive advertising we do, and our reputation for introducing the best new fruits, many 
agents have been selling Timbrell through the country. These are all frauds ; they are selling you some com- 
mon sort for high prices. We ship Timbrell plants from our grounds only direct to purchasers, and with each 
lot a certificate goes assuring you that they are genuine. We here give our friends notice to send orders direct to 
us, and thus make sure of getting the pure stock, for all plants of Timbrell must be obtained through us. 
GOOD WORDS FOR TIMBRELL. 
AFTER REPEATED TRIALS. 
E. S. Carman, editor of The Rural New-Yorker , who is one of the best judges of new fruits, and who has 
more experience than any other man in the country, says: “Timbrell is the best Strawberry in exist- 
ence." Again he says: “AVer© I confined to one berry, it would be Timbrell." Again, undei date of 
November 7, 1893, he says : “I have lost no faith in Timbrell ; it is all ever claimed." 
Samuel Miller, BlulTton, Mo., in The Rural Neiv- Yorker of October 28, 1893, says: “ There are a num- 
ber of new Strawberries, which outsiders know nothing about, that promise well. Among the new ones that 
gave 11s fruit this season may be mentioned Timbrell, Princess, Greenville, America and Columbia. But first 
and foremost in every respect, in my estimation, is the Timbrell. The plants area picture worth looking at, 
and are so different from all others that they can he picked out of a hundred varieties at a glance. So well 
pleased am I with it that every plant now fit was set, lest I should be tempted to sell some." 
M. T. Thompson, in same paper, says : " The Timbrell Strawberry is a luxuriant grower and the fruit of 
a beautiful color. Marshall, which is claimed to be a grand Strawberry, is rusting badly in the same row. 
E. S. Carman, editor of The Rural New-Yorker ) answers G. A. P., of Pennsylvania, as follows: “1. Is 
Timbrell as valuable as Brandywine Strawberry? 2. How will the two sorts compare with Parker Earle in 
yield? The latter yielded me at the rate of over 300 bushels per acre." Answer. “ 1. Timbrell is better in 
quality than Brandywine, though Brandywine is very good— superior, indeed, blit it is not best ; this can be 
truly said only of Timbrell. 2. Either will compare in yield with Parker Earle."
