BUBACH NO. 5. 
Gandy’s Prize. This is the best and most 
valuable late variety we have yet had, 
except a seedling’ we have received from 
John Little, of Canada, which is moi’e 
productive, and will soon come to light. 
We were favorably i mpressed with 
Gandy, and can highly recommend it 
to every grower. While it is not as 
productive as some other varieties, it is 
valuable as a lace berry, and will give as 
good returns as others that produce more 
fruit, as it sells for a much higher price. 
J. T. Lovett says his entire crop sold at 
15 cents per quart, while other varieties 
sold for live and six cents. It is a valua- 
ble late variety, without doubt. 25 cents 
per doz.,$l per 100, S5 per 1,000. 
Burt Seedling. Claimed to be same as 
Capt. Jack by some, and as to it we cannot 
say, as we have never had the latter, but 
will say if it will produce for us next 
season as did this, be it Burt, Capt. Jack, 
or what not, we will plant it for fruiting, 
as it produced the largest berries, except 
Logan, on the farm. The vine is a splen- 
did grower and good producer. Fruit will 
not spoil in wet weather, and from what 
we have seen think it valuable as a fam- 
ily berry ; but as it is new, and price by 
many js high, owing to the dispute as to 
its being the old Capt. Jack, we will put 
price so it will be in reach of all who wish 
to test it. It will be found worth the test, 
we think. 25 cents per doz., 75 cents per 
100, $4 per 1,000. 
Monmouth. Very early ; good grower and 
productive, but we arc not so well pleased 
with it as some other varieties. While 
we do not find any particular fault, we 
find it not as productive as some other 
varieties, but it has points of good quali- 
ties. As every one knows, we have not a 
berry thatis perfect, ft is early and very 
firm and large, but not as even in size as 
we would like. 25 cents per doz., SI per 
100, $4 per 1,000. 
Logan. This variety gave us a pleasant 
surprise, as we did not look for anything 
great in it, but was pleased to find it the 
most attractive fruit in 100 varieties. See 
what J. T. Lovett says ( Orchard and Gar 
den)— he viewed it on our grounds when 
fruiting: “Logan is a pleasant surprise, 
having been overlooked in following up 
others of less merit. Especially in Ohio 
was it large, handsome and excellent, the 
plant quite productive and the perfection 
of growth.” Its fruit is very large and 
shows signs of being quite valuable with 
us, and we would like all our customers 
to give it a trial at least. 50 cents per 
doz., .$1 per 100, $8 per 1,000. 
Pearl. A vigorous grower; fruit very firm 
and attractive. It is claimed by many to 
be of great value, but we see no point over 
j some given above, but it is worth trial, as 
we have no fault to find, and on other soils 
it may be of more value than some we 
have mentioned. 50 cents per doz., $1 per 
100, $7 per 1,000. 
Pineapple. U nder d ispute ; claimed by ex - 
ports to be the old Bonanza. We have 
nothing to say, only our original stock 
was received from headquarters, and in 
Maryland it is claimed to be of great 
value, but we have not found it so with 
us. Plant is of the largest growth and 
picture of health, but not productive on 
our soil. Price cut — 25 cents per doz., 75 
cents per 100, $4 per 1,000. 
Jessie. This has been before the people 
long enough to be known, and much has 
been claimed for 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. 
Some of the fruit is very firm, but will 
not hold its own, while in other localities 
it is all that was ever claimed for it. It 
is a good fertilizer and strong grower; 
worthy of trial. 25 cents per doz., SI per 
100, *5 per 1,000. 
Summit. (P.) One of the largest; good 
grower, and a fine fruit in some localities ; 
subject to rust, but not with us. A good 
variety for home uses, but like all large 
berries not profitable enough for commer- 
cial growers. 25 cents per doz., $1 per 100, 
SO per 1 ,000. 
Bomba. The first berry to ripen on our 
farm, aud of the best quality ; plant vig- 
orous and large; good grower and pro- 
ductive, but fruit with us does not hold 
up well at end of season. Try it. 50 cts. 
per doz., SI per 100, $8 per 1,000. 
Cloud Seedling. Somewhat like Crescent 
in growth, but not as productive; 
many claim much for it. It is worthy of 
trial, but do not try too many. 25 cts. per 
I doz., SI per 100, $5 per 1,000. 
Gold. (P.) A new variety of good quality, 
with peculiar seed of bright color; of 
good flavor, but not very productive. 
Go slow on it. 50 cents per doz.,$l per 
100, *8 per 1,000. 
Carmichel. (P. ) Good on deep moist soil 
when it is suited, and is the latest of all 
strawberries. We have many good re- 
ports and also bad reports, it will not 
succeed on dry sandy soil. 50 cents per 
doz., SI per 100, SO per 1,000.
