SOME PROFITABLE NEW STRAWBERRIES 
Carrie. 
CARRIE. (P.) 
The following is Prof. W. J. Gtcon’s 1896 report of this berry from the Ohio Experiment Station : "Of new 
varieties about to be introduced, none please me better than Carrie, sent here by M. T. Thompson. It resem )les 
the Haverland, but is an improvement upon that variety in size, color, and firmness, and seems equal to it in pio- 
lificacy. If this judgment is correct, it will prove to be an exceedingly valuable variety, and will displace Haver- 
land, for this variety is too soft and rather too light in color. It has the same fault as the Ilaverland ot long fruit 
stems, and the berries lie out in the row, and are liable to be trampled on by the pickers. While this is a fault, it 
must be acknowledged that berries of this class are easily seen, and more likely to be picked clean than those 
having short fruit stems. The price of plants will be almost prohibitive at first, but it will pay growers to keep 
close watch on Carrie.” Price, 50 cts. per doz., $2.50 per 100. 
WM. BELT. 
With us this is a very large, high-colored berry, free from green tips and all other imperfections, producing a 
very heavy crop of the largest sized fruit, and possessing the unusual power of ripening all its berries, even under 
unfavorable circumstances. We can recommend this to those growers 
whose market requires an extra-large berry. Prof. W. J. Green, of Ohio 
Experiment Station, describes this as resembling the Marshall, which he 
considers to be a very nearly perfect berry, while much more productive. 
Mr. M. Crawford says: "Wm. Belt fruited hero in hills and matted 
rows, both 1 and 2-year-old plants. We have fruited it five or six years. 
It is the largest berry we have ever raised. The plant, is very strong and 
hardy, and has a perfect blossom. It is a good bearer, and the fruit is 
of excellent quality and fine.” Price, 25 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, 
$4 per 1,000. 
BISMARCK. 
A seedling of Bubach No. 5, ppUenized by Van Deman. The plant 
resembles No. 5 in every way, only is more robust aud stocky, with the 
same ironclad foliage. The berries are produced in abundance, out- 
yielding No. 5. Shape obtuse conical, never coekscombed, and is the 
heaviest berry we have ever seen or grown. Color bright scarlet, no 
green tips; very firm, of good flavor; good shipper. Season medium to 
very late ; size larger than No. 5, excelling Mary, Timbrell, H. . 
Beecher, Holland and Sharpless as grown here. Blossom perfect. In 
sending out the Bismarck, we guarantee It to uphold 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, 25 cts, per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $5 per 1,000.
