GREAT PACIFIC. 
STRAWBERRIES, Continued. 
Denison, Tex., Aug. 22, 1889. 
Mit.» George Townsenij: 
The Eureka strawberry bore a very large 
crop last season. The plant is hardy. I 
think it will make one of the best late 
strawberries. T. V. Munson. 
Sanalac County, Mice., Aug. 7, 1889. 
Gents : — Of all the new varieties of straw- 
berries obtained this year, the Eureka in 
growth, health and fruit leads them all. 
The Eureka will soon become a standard 
variety. Marcus Fiei.ds. 
Indianapolis, Ind., July 20, 1889. 
Mr. George Townsend: 
The strawberry plants you sent me last 
spring are all growing and are very fine. 
I lind they all have nice, clean and healthy 
foliage. Last spring when they were in 
full bloom we had a hard freeze that de- 
stroyed nearly all the fruit-buds, but what 
remained uninjured showed up nicely at 
picking season. Your Eureka is one of 
the finest berries I ever had on my farm. 
It is so large, so highly colored, so firm and 
good flavored, that everybody who fruits 
it will be pleased with it. 
Theodore Wilson. 
Tuscarawas Co., O., Nov. 15, 1889. 
The Eureka is the most promising of all 
our new kinds, a remarkably healthy and 
vigorous grower. The fifty plants you sent 
us last spring have produced us not less 
than 10,000 fine, large, healthy plants.

GREAT PACIFIC. We feel quite proud 
to be able to present such a fruit as this 
before our many friends, and know all 
who iuvest in them will be grateful to us 
for the advice we will give you on the sub- 
ject. The Pacific is just new, and of course 
will sell high, but what of that if you get 
a good thing? One dozen plants this sea- 
son will plant quite a bed next, and you 
hardly miss its cost. It comes from Illi- 
nois, and is highly recommended by fruit 
growers who have grown it and seen it 
growing. This is what Mr. Pipher has 
to say of it. 
“ Great Pacific :— This berry, I love its 
name, and it is ahead of any of the straw- 
berries I know. In growth of plant it is 
the strongest and most robust, and the 
hardiest plant I ever saw; the greatest 
yieider of large beautiful berries I have 
ever seen in twenty-seven years of straw- 
berry culture. Have seen the fruit lay in 
piles around the plants, being very large, 
and run large throughout the entire sea 
son. My last picking was as large as 
Wilson at the first; runs about one- 
third larger than Crescent through- 
out the season. In my experimental lot, 
of over thirty-five varieties it yielded 
more than double any other, and twenty 
times that of Jessie, same row; in short, 
it was nothing to compare with it. I hon- 
estly think there is not a berry in exist- 
ence that will compare with it. I have 
fruited Bubach No. 5 for five seasons, 
and in same row as Pacific, on the best 
soil, and every one seeing can tell you as 
myself it produced five times as much 
fruit.” 
J. L. Budd, Professor of Agricultural 
College, Ames, Iowa, says: “It has the 
best leaf of anything I have ever seen. 
It stands at the head of new varieties in 
experimental bed.” 
J. V. Cotte says it far surpasses any- 
thing he has at the Experimental Station, 
There is nothing that comes near it in 
yield of berries. 
Truly, it must be a great acquisition, 
and you all should try it. S3 per doz., $10 
per 100, $00 per 1,000.

Dear Sir : — My plants arrived all O. K. and in fine shape. Am well pleased. 
Elmer E. Smith. 
E. W. Reid. Spenendale, Ohio, August 29, 1889. 
Dear Sir : — Plants received in good shape. I have set them out, and if I lose any it is 
not your fault. Many thanks for extra plants. I will not look farther when I want more 
stock. O. S. Judd. 
E. W. Reid. Greenfield, April 15, 1889. 
Dear Sir :-— Plants received, and I must say they are very fine and in good condition. 
Yours, A. C. Akin.
