JESSIE— Heads the list as it is the leading 
berry lor Wisconsin. It is oui< berry; was es- 
pecially gotten 11]) by Mr. London, of Janesville. 
Wisconsin, for onr climate. It does not rust. 
It is a vigorous grower. Its many tniit stems 
are strong and carry the fruit well out of the 
dirt, but not above the luxuriant foliage, to allow 
it to sun-scald. It produces runners abund- 
antly. The fruit is of ponderous size, and for 
so large a berry, very jiroductive. Quality bet- 
ter than Crescent, no pithiness, but flesh solid 
and luscious throughout. It holds its size well 
to the 7th picking. Blossom perfect. Try it, 
every body.

value for our climate. Mr. Crawford says: 
“The plant is large, healthy, vigorous and very 
jiroductive; leaves tiark green and Iree from 
rust; runners strong and abundant; blossoms 
pistillate; (plant one row in five of Jessie); fruit 
very large and usually of good form.” Origi- 
nated in Princeton, 111 . 
WARFIELD (No. 2)— We place this next in 
value of the new varieties. Originated in Illi- 
nois in 1883. Mr. Crawford, of Ohio, says: “It 
fruited in 1884, and a bed containing five square 
feet yielded a (juart every other day. The blos- 
som is ])istillate. Plant vigorous with long pen- 
etrating roots to resist drouth. It ripens with 
the Crescent, has tall leaves to protect from 
late spring frosts. Single plants have produced 
195 berries. It equals the Wilson as a shijiper
