Grand Mere Nurseries, 
berry under favorable conditions.” The fruit is very large, roundish, conical in 
form, and of a bright, glossy red color. The coloring extends but a short dis- 
tance from the surface, the flesh being cream or light salmon. The quality is 
so good that no person is likely to find fault with it. It ripens all over, light red 
at first, getting darker until fully ripe. 
MOmTOB — (Perfect.) — This magnicent berry, a product of southwest Mis- 
souri, originated as a chance seedling in the orchard of Mr. Z. T. Russell on a 
plot that formerly cantained Crescent, Captain Jack and Cumberland. It has 
all the productiveness of the most productive Crescent, the beautiful vigorous 
foliage of the Capt. Jack, and is very much larger and more firm than the Cum- 
berland. It is a fine plant maker. 
mCK OHMER. (Perfect.) 
— lias been extensively tried 
all over the country and all 
speak well of it. As might be 
expected from the vigorous 
character of the plant the ber- 
ry though large Is very well 
held up on strong fruit stems. 
It is a bright smooth round 
berry of highest quality and 
among the firmest good berries. 
No berry that has ever been 
sent out has been better receiv- 
ed than the Nick Ohmer; be- 
gins in mid season and lasts 
quite late. 
OOM PAUL. - (Perfect.)— 
Mr. Kevitt says in his intro- 
duction of the variety: "Pa- 
rentage, Jessie and Bubach. 
Stupendous in size and delic- 
ious in fl.avor, elegant color, 
shipping the best. The plant 
is a very rank grower. Anoth- 
er strong point in favor of the 
Oom Paul is that the last pick- 
ing never runs small. Very 
prolific; in shape inclines to 
Jessie. The berries .are called 
giants by visitors here. Single 
plants yield a full quart. A 
record breaker — six berries filled 
were picked from two hundred and eighty Oom Paul plants at one picking." 
The above is the description given by the introducer. We only had a few 
plants left to fruit the past season. The berries were exceedingly large, pro- 
ductive, of good color and quality. For a large showy market berry we would 
class it among one of the best. 
POCOMOKE. — (Perfect.) — Comes from Maryland, is claimed by the origina- 
tor to be "One of the best varieties in existence, enormously productive, large 
sized berries, unusually firm, nicely colored and flavored, perfect bloom, ripens 
with Clyde and Crescent and bears four weeks, hardy as a thistle and succeeds 
on any soil.” We have fruited it and will say that it is a splendid grower. 
Very productive of fine, large, firm berries. Try it. 
SENATOR DUNEAP. — (Perfect.) — No variety has been more thoroughlv test- 
ed in ail sections of the country during the past three seasons than this, and has 
given such general satisfaction everywhere that it is sure to take its place 
with the best standard varieties. The plants are not large, but deep rooted, 
bright glossy green', without a sign of disease and will grow anywhere, and with 
almost any kind of treatment. It is very productive and usually matures every 
berry, and they are of medium to large, regular size and shape, bright glossy red. 
a good shipper and of extra quality. The Dunlap is a handsome berry in the 
box and always sells well. 
sample. — (I mperfect.) — The plant is very large and runs well. It makes a 
great growth of fine roots and is less likely to be he.aved out in winter than 
some other varieties. It is healthy, free from hust and extremely productive — 
probably the most of any variety on the market. The fruit is very large, uni- 
form in shape, roundish conical, frequently with a neck, dark red clear through, 
colors all over at once: quality fair or good: firmness somewhat lacking. It 
grows well under any system of culture. 
BEET. — (Perfect.) — It has a perfect blossom and is very productive. It 
is very large; the first berry on a stem is quite apt to be coxcombed, but those 
following are rather long, conical and quite uniform in shape and size. The 
color is bright glossy red; it colors all over: it is quite firm, good qu.alitv. We
