E. W, REID'S CATALOGUE OF SMALL FRUITS, ETC, 
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 Col- 
lege, 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. Cotta says : “ It far surpasses anything 
I have 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. $2 per doz., $10 per 100, 
| $00 per $1,000. 
STAYMAN'S No. 1. We have this straw- 
| berry growing by the side of Jessie, Bubach’sNo. 
5, Jewell, Parry and many others, and have found 
none equal to it in growth, productiveness or 
quality. Is not only the most productive of any 
we have seen, but it is the most vigorous and 
prolific; the original seedling produced 690 
plants, covering a space of 43 square feet of 
ground, and every plant produced a heavy crop 
of fruit; the last set plants were as productive 
as the first. It appears to be perfectly hardy, as 
it has had neither mulching nor winter protec- 
tion. and has endured our most protracted 
droughts as well as late spring frosts, without 
Kursk a . injury, while all others have suffered more or 
less. It is very late in blooming, scarcely show- 
ing any sign of fruit, except a large crown, until others are in bloom; then it quickly 
throws up a heavy, tall fruit stock above the foliage, and blooms when all danger of frost 
is over. 50 cts. per doz., $2.50 per 100, $15 per 1,000. 
EUREKA. (P.) This has given the best of satisfaction in many parts of the coun- 
try, but on our ground this season did not come up to our expectation ; while it was large, 
late and of good color, we would like to receive more fruit, but many experienced growers 
grow it largely for profit, saying it yields them a larger profit than any other. 50 cts. per 
doz., $2.50 per 100, $15 per 1,000. 
MRS. CLEVELAND. (P.) Introduced last season, and has great promise of ex 
ceptional value for its future. 
“The plant was produced from seed sown about the middle of July, 1883. It denotes 
Cumberland parentage. A mixture of several varieties was sown together, among which 
was Cumberland. It is a very large berry; vigorous stock, healthy plant; fruited the 
next June and every season since, bearing large, uniform berries of excellent' shape and 
quality; color scarlet and very attractive ; pistillate blossom ; withstands heat and drouth 
admirably well. It was exhibited at the Montgomery Horticultural Society, Ohio, June 
2, 1886, and reported as quite promising. (Its intended name was Mrs. Garfield.) Mr. 
N. H. Albaugh moved that, as there was a Mrs. Gai-field strawberry, this seedling be 
named Mrs. Cleveland (if it be not too previous !), in honorof the estimable lady whom the 
President weds this day.” It originated with Mr. George Townsend, of Darke county, 
Ohio, originator of the Eureka. 25 cts. per doz., $3 per 100. 
MICHEL S EARLY. A new strawberry from Arkansas, with good recommenda- 
tions backing it. We have not fruited it as yet, but it comes so well recommended to us, 
that we do not hesitate to recommend it to our custom- 
ers. The introducers speak of it as follows : 
“ This is an accidental seedling, and the earliest and 
most profitable in cultivation ; of the finest flavor ; a per- 
fect blossom ; as large and firm as the Crescent from ten 
to twelve days earlier, and as productive. Plant the 
hardiest of all known, and free from rust or blight. 
Growing side by side with twenty other varieties, noth- 
ing approaches it in plant growth except Bubach No. 5. 
Its market value can be learned from the following, taken 
from the price current of Messrs. P. M. Kieley & Co., 
St. Louis, Mo., from April 20th to April 30th. 1889 : 
“78.6 gallon cases, netting $329.50, or an average of 
near $4.25 per case.” 25 cts. per doz., $2 per 100, $10 per 
1 , 000 . 
FLORENCE. (Clara.) Originated in Cuyahoga 
county, Ohio. It is a beautiful bright red, resembling 
the old Wilson in shape, but a brighter red, and holds its 
color well after being picked, averaging half as large 
again. Its fruit is born on large, strong fruit trusses, 
holding the berries well up from the ground, keeping the 
berries clean. It is an excellent runner and good shipper, ki.orknce.
