General List of Strawberries. 
Beder Wood. A stocky, robust plant, tliat makes 
runners freely ; healthy and entirely free from rust 
or blight ; has perfect bloom, and is an enormous 
bearer of large, round, perfectly formed berries; 
light scarlet color, moderately firm ; good quality ; 
very valuable for home use or near-by markets. 
25 cents per dozen, 75 cents per too, $4 per 1,000. 
Bubach No. 5 . (P.) One of the best. Quite large! 
plants very robust ; color, dark green ; has never 
shown signs of rust or blight. We fruited it this 
season on four different soils, and see no difference ; 
it did well on all. We can recommend it for field 
culture, as well as for the garden ; it is one of the 
best paying varieties. The fruit commands highest 
prices. 25cts. per dozen, 75 cts. per too, $3.50 per 1,000. 
Burt Seedling. We value this very highly for grow- 
ing on deep, moist soil ; it has been a good producer 
with us ; of good size, very firm and productive. 
We do not hesitate to recommend it for fruiting for 
profit. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts.’ per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Chas. Downing. An old, well-tried variety; succeeds 
well almost everywhere, but we can see no improve- 
ment over many other varieties. A good shipper; size 
medium. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, 83 per 1,000. 
Crescent. (P.) Like the Concord grape, it seems to 
be in the lead with fruit growers. Any one can grow 
the Crescent, for it will almost take care of itself after 
it is once put in the ground. It is very hardy and 
prolific, and should not be allowed to run the entire 
season to matted rows. 25 cents per dozen, 50 cents 
per too, 82.50 per j, 000. 
Cumberland Triumph. We cultivate this variety 
extensively for fruit, as it is one of the most salable 
berries we have in our market, and sells for the high- 
est price. It is very large, not as bright in color as 
we would desire, but in past years it seemed to pro- 
duce more fruit each season. 25 cents per dozen, 
50 cents per 100, 83 per 1,000. 
Eureka. (P.) This season we were taken by sur- 
prise by this berry. It was the best fruiter on our 
grounds ; the bloom comes through the frost in much 
better condition than any other variety, and pro- 
duces a good crop of beautiful fruit. It is very large; 
after thenatureof Bubach, ripening late with Gandy’s 
Prize, and commanding a good price. We find that 
it is going to be a valuable variety for market 
growers. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, 83Pm' 1,000. 
Gandy’s Prize. Large and very late ; holds its frui 1 
well 'from the ground. This is the best late berry we 
have growing, all points considered. Very firm, and 
when put on the market brings the highest market 
price ; it is also valuable as a fertilizer to use with 
early varieties, making the latter end of the crop 
more perfect. We have received five cents per quart 
more for Gandy than any other varieties, owing to its 
size, beauty and firmness at this late date of ripening. 
25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Haverland. (P.) A native of Ohio, but does not 
lose its reputation by going into other states. This is 
the most productive berry on the market to-day. 
Size large; color light; will not stand long ship 
ments, but for near markets is one of the best. We 
cannot recommend the Haverland too highly, as it 
has good foliage, is a strong grower, and fruits abun- 
dantly. Some growers claim 1,000 bushels per acre 
Dozen mailed free ; add 20 cts. per 
for it ; we do not make any such claims, but will say 
that it will come as near to it as any other variety. 
25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 100, 83 P er t,ooo. 
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. 25 cents per dozen, 
50 cents per too, 83 per 1,000. 
Lovett’s Early. A berry that can be highly recom- 
mended for loam or clay but not for sandy soil, and 
its name misrepresents it, as it is not an early va- 
riety, but mid-season ; very sour, but is a good ship- 
per and very productive. Is a good staminate for 
fertilizing pistillate varieties ; a good all-purpose 
berry ; color a bright crimson and firm, better for 
marketthan family use. 25 cents per dozen, 50 cents 
per 100, $4 per 1 ,000. 
Michel’s Early. (P.) The introducer speaks of it as 
follows: “This is an accidental seedling, and the 
earliest and most profitable in cultivation ; of the 
finest flavor; a perfect 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, nothi ng approaches it in plant- 
growth except Bubach No. 5. ” 25 cents per dozen, 
50 cents per 100, $3 per 1 ,000. 
Pearl. A vigorous grower ; fruit very firm and attrac- 
tive. It is claimed by many to be of great value, 
but we see no point over some given above ; yet it is 
worth trial. 25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 100, 
$3 per 1,000. 
Sharpless. Size large to very large, irregular in 
shape, and dark-red when fully ripe; succeeds 
well on any heavy soil, with good culture. 25 cents 
per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Stayman’s No. 1 . (P.) We have this Strawberry 
growing by the side of Jessie, Bubach No. 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 all we have seen, but it 
is the most vigorous and prolific. We think more of 
the Stayman each season, and it deserves our good 
opinion. Try it, and you will find it a No. 1 berry. 
25 cents per dozen, 75 cents per too, 84 P er 1 >°°o. 
Warfield. No. 2 . (P.) After fruiting the past season 
with us, we were more pleased with it than ever, so 
we cannot but give its former place on the list. All 
things considered, it is of the very best. Similar in 
color and some other respects to Wilson — being very 
firm— it can be shipped a long distance. In going 
through our beds this season while in bloom, we 
failed to find one plant that did not set ; this cannot 
be said of many sorts. Size large ; plant very pro- 
ductive. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Wilson Albany. Still in the lead of all standard 
varieties at Sunny Hill Fruit Farm. We shipped 
the plants to dealers all over the United States last 
season, and they unite in saying that they were the 
finest ever seen. We can recommend them to any ; 
there are places where they will not succeed, but not 
in this part of Belmont county. Can be shipped a 
long distance, and where it flourishes is a fine berry. 
25 cents per dozen, 50 cents per 100, $3 per 1,000.
