•'Hramlywine (S) This is one of the most valuable ever sent out. It has not 
a single defect that I know of. The plant is a luxuriant grower, healthy and 
^ hardy, and very productive. Fruit very large, good form, bright red all over 
and of good quality. Season, medium to very late. It succeeds on any soil. 
— M. Crawford’s Report, Julj', 1895. 
Barton’s Eclipse (P) So vigorous that it defies drought and frost. I have 
-seen it while in full bloom killed, plant and all, to the ground and then recover 
and bear a gootl crop. A splendid grower, even on poor, thirsty soil. Exceed- 
ingly productive of large, fine berries, which ripen medium early. Originated 
in Kentucky, the central part of the country, and succeeds everywhere. North, 
South, Ra.st and We.st. If money is your object plant largely of barton and 
polleui'/.e with Lovett. 
Beder Wood (S) This is the most productive of the very early varieties, 
and in fact it is not excelled by any kind for its large yield of fruit. It ripens 
about three days behind Michel’s Early and ahead' of Crescent; gives heavy 
pickings from the start, and holds out until the rush of mid-season. Recom- 
mended by Mr. Crawford as the best early variety. 
Crescent (P) This is a very prolific berry, bearing profusely, even under 
neglect. In growth it is very vigorous and hardy and produces better if the 
vinds are not allowed to mat. They should be thinned, even if the hoe has to 
be used. Fruit colors on all sides at once. Great cropper. Early. 
Columbian. "In placing this berry before the public we do .so with a 
feeling of assurance that it will please, as its place with us is first on the list. 
It is a bright, scarlet color, so much de.sired in a market berry, and is quite firm 
/ and remarkably large for an early berry. Ripens with Michel’s Early and 
Hoffman and is an immense yielder ; it actually bears in piles. Most early 
berries are shy bearers and small in size, but the Columbian reverses this. We 
do not claim it to be as good, but the BEST E.A.REY berry. It is a strong 
V grower and has a perfect blossom, free from rust, and sends its roots deep in 
the ground, thereby standing long droughts without dj-iiig out in spots.” 
The above description is given by the originator. We fruited this berry 
under favorable conditions and find the fruit comes quite up to the promises 
made for it. 
Cyclone (S) This berry was originated by Iv. W. Cruse, of Kan.sas. One 
of the earliest. A beautiful bright color, with healthy foliage and the berry 
firm. Mr. Cruse says that it is a cyclone and that it will clean the others out. 
Well, we mu.st say the past three years it has fruited and is a grand one. The 
foliage and growth of the plant reminds us very much of the Haverland. It 
has a long season. It is an excellent one to fertilize Haverland, as the color of 
the fruit is similar, also the shape. The pa.st year we heard nothing but praise 
of Cyclone ; it is the most valuable berry in cultivation ; it seems to suit all 
soils and sections. 
Dew. This is said to be one of the largest berries grown. We find it very 
large and very handsome. 
Dayton (S) It is large, firm, deep color, and of uniform size ; an excel- 
lent grower, productive and early. It is one of the very best to plant as a 
fertilizer among other varieties, p'avorable reports are heard all over the 
country this year from “Dayton.” Plant it without fail, as plants are now 
within reach of all. 
Enhance (Si Exceedingly productive, and in localities where it succeeds 
one of the mo.st profihible market sorts. The plant is a vigorous, strong grow- 
er with splendid foliage. P'ruit large, rathei irregular in shape, of dark crimson 
, color, firm flesh and good quality. For home use it is admiraable. Mid- 
season to late.
