E. W. Reid’s Catalogue oe Small Fruits, Etc. 
general list of strawberries. 
Warfield No. ! 2 . (P.) After fruiting the past season 
with us, we were more pleased with it than ever, so 
we cannot but give it 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; 
5,000 lots, $2. 50 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 
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 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
ltu bach No. 5 . One of the best. Quite large ; 
plants very robust ; color, dark green ; has never 
shown signs of rust or blight. We fruited it this sea- 
son on four different soils, and see no difference ; it 
did well on all. We can recommend it for field cul- 
ture, as well as for the garden ; it is one of the best 
paying varieties. The fruit commands highest prices. 
25 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $3.50 per 1,000. 
Michel’s Early. (I>.) The introducer speaks of itlas 
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, nothing approaches it in plant- 
growth except Bubach No. 5.” We find that this 
variety does much better in the south and west than 
the east. With us it was small, but very productive 
and early. 25 cts. per dozen, 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 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Gandy’s Prize. Large and very late ; holds its fruit 
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 ripen- 
ing. 25 cts per doz., 75 cts per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Hurt 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. 
Logan. Size large to very large ; color good and 
true ; a good grower. We still think as well of it as 
last season ; it is one of the berries that attract the 
Dozen mailed free ; add 20 cts. per 100 If to he sen 
prices on 
attention of the buyer, and we highly recommend it 
to our customers. 25 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, 
#4 per 1,000. 
Pearl. A vigorous grower ; fruit very firm and at- 
tractive. It is claimed by many to be of great value, 
but we see no point over some given above ; yet 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. 25 cts. per doz., 75 cts. per 100, $4 
per 1,000. 
Bomba. The first berry to ripen on our farm, and of 
the best quality ; plant vigorous and large ; good 
grower and productive, but fruit with us does not 
hold up well at end of season. Try it. 25 cts. per 
do/.., $1 per 100, $6 per 1000., 
Cloud Seedling. (P.) On thin soil, this season, it 
did very well with us, better than ever before ; it is 
not so productive as Crescent or Warfield, but has a 
good color, and is very firm. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. 
per 100, $2.50 per 1,000. 
Sharpless. Size large to very large, irregular in shape, 
and of dark-red when fully ripe; succeeds well on 
any heavy soil, with good culture. 25 cts. per doz., 
50 cts. per 100, $3 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. 25 cts. per doz., 50 
cts. per 100, $3 per 1,000. 
Summit. (P.) One of the largest; good grower, 
and a fine fruit in some localities; subject to rust, but 
not with 11s. A good variety for home uses, but, like 
all large berries, not profitable enough for commercial 
growers. 25 cts. per doz., $1 per too, $7 per 1,000. 
Ontario. Claimed by some to be same as Sharpless, 
but with us is as different as the Wilson is from Cres- 
cent. It is a good berry, and of value to the market- 
grower. Our original stock came from Canada, and 
is known to be perfectly pure. 25 cts. per doz., 75 
cts. per 100, $5 per 1,000. 
Belmont. A variety which has taken a number of 
prizes when on exhibition in its native state (Massa- 
chusetts). It is one of the strongest growers on the 
farm, with a dark-green foliage, but it requires a very 
deep soil ; if this is not at hand, it will not be very 
productive. 25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per 100, $3 
per 1,000. 
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. We can recommend it 
highly. Better on poor clay soil, well manured, than 
on rich loam. A sale can always be found for it. 25 
cts. per doz., 50 cts. per xoo, $ 3 per 1,000. 
Crescent. 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. Strange to say, last sea- 
son we sold three times as many of this variety as any 
others. It is very hardy and prolific, and should not 
be allowed to run the entire season to matted rows. 
25 cts. per doz., 50 cts. per too, $ 2.50 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, $3 
per 1,000. 
by mail ; lots of 5,000 at reduced rates. Write for 
arge lots. 
SPECIAL NOTICE. 
We are heavy growers of small fruits, and can supply large lots of plants at low rates ; you also get fresh 
stock that will grow, not dried-up plants, that have been packed away. Write us for terms on large amounts. 
Estimates cost you nothing, and it is not our way of doing business to swindle our trade, but to give them good 
plants for the smallest sum. 
We <lo not wish mu- strawberry plants to be placed on the same plane with those grown in New Jersey, 
Delawa-e and some parts of Maryland. Wc do not grow such stock, hence we do not wish you to compare out- 
rates with such. Our plants are large, vigorous and healthy, and when set, you get a good growth. Plants 
grown on strong soil cannot be dug, bunched and packed as low as some dealers offer them.
