SEEDS, FRUIT Am VINES. 
HDLLA.ND— The tendency is with many growers for big berries and 
because of this failing I have the honor of offering a grand strawberry called 
Holland, originated five years ago, and while it has not been tested outside 
of its home its general character assures it a universal success. A rank, 
upright grower of sharpless type of foliage, of extra large size to last of sea- 
son, all are large to very large; no coxcomb or ill shaped fruit. Ripens with 
Crescent; color crimson, no white tips, a firm shipper. This berry has a 
grand future. 
BISSELL — The Bissell is a seedling of the Wilson. Blossoms are pistu- 
late, plants healthy, vigorous grower and abundant plant maker, having 
long and finely matted roots which enables them to stand severe drouth. 
The fruit is very large and has a fine color, a dark glossy red, with a double 
calyx, and very productive; season same as Crescent, but continues to fruit 
later and is very uniferm in shape and size. 
CYCLONE — Possibly well enough known. Very early and a beautiful 
bright red color, with healthy foliage; the berry is very firm and perfect. I 
regard this as one of the best and as early as Benerwood and much larger 
and finer. This is certainly a bonanza. 
TENNESSEE PROLIFIC— The foliage of Tennessee Prolific is cer- 
tainly as fine a grower as I have in my collection. The fruit is large and 
handsome and as productive as Haverland and far superior in every way. 
It ripens up early; it is a berry every grower would like and is a fine plant 
maker, with beautiful heavy foliage and a perfect bloomer. This variety of 
plant we would certainly recommend all growers to plant. A beautuu 
grower nearly free from rust. 
RIO —This berry has a perfect blossom and most beautiful berry, origi- 
nated by M. T. Thompson in whom we have great confidence. The foliage 
is verv healthy, the color of the fruit a beautiful bright red, is wonderfully 
productive and has a very large green calyx that makes it look handsome 
We feel that Rio has a bright future. 
WILLIAM BELT.- This variety is growing with us for the first time; 
has not fruited with us, but is a healthy and vigorous plant, and is all that 
could be desired; it has large crowns and promises something fine. It 
originated in Southern Ohio about eight years ago by the late William 
Beft. It has been tested by a number of experiment stations, and has made 
a good record. The plant is very large, a good grower, remarkably healthy 
appearance. It blossoms are perfect, and it seems that each one is followed 
by a berry; ripens medium early; its size is very large; in form it is c< meal, 
rather long and quite uniform in shape, the color is a brilliant, glossy red, 
as near perfection as was ever seen in a berry, and the quality is good. We 
might go on and state how favorable this' berry is with different growers, 
but space will not permit.
