RibQEWflY 5TRflWBERRT. 
I’lant large and stocky, possessing the ability to make a large number of 
strong, healthy plants. Leaf large, 
broad, heavy and dark green in color. 
Blossom perfect, a good polenizer for 
pistillate varieties, as it remains in 
bloom for a long time. Berry large 
to very large, the typical form nearly 
I'ound; largest specimens broadly ovate 
but always smooth. Color, as it grows 
at Rocky Glen, bright, glossy crimson, 
with golden seeds. Firm for so large 
a berry and will stand shipping to dis- 
tant markets, except in a very wet 
time. Quality as good as the best, an 
almost ideal berry, and one that will 
con.mand fancy prices on any market. 
— Introducer. 
The Ridgeway was introduced a year 
ago with the above description. After 
fruiting it another year, the introduc- 
er, who lives in Indiana, says that he 
has nothing to recall, but again affirms 
his belief that it is, all things consid- 
ered, the best general purpose berry 
ever introduced. It is all that was 
claimed for it. Last season it gave 
the largest crop of fancy berries ever 
produced on his farm, even surpassing the Parker Earle, which has been con- 
sidered the greatest yielder ever introduced. Mr. Ridgeway is a grower of 
experience, and I have no reason to doubt his word. 1 fruited this variety 
here last season. Resembles the Cumberland in shape and size but of darker 
color and better flavor. Fruit fairly Hrm. Good plant maker, one of the moat 
productive. 
HflQOON. 
From Oregon, where it has become famous. It has certain characteristics 
in which it surpasses any ever before grown in Oregon. It is so vigorous that 
five-year-old plants produced more fruit than younger ones. One grower re- 
ports that he picked ll boxes from 18 hills at a single picking. It is so large 
and atti'active that it brought ‘26 per cent, more than other varieties. It is 
ahead of all others as a shipper. Its size, shape, color and flavor make it the 
choice of the buyer. It is superior for canning. What it will do here remains 
to be seen. — M. Crawford. 
Tounq’s Early Sunrise. 
'J'his new and excellent berry originated in Indiana and has given the 
highest satisfaction on my grounds in central Ohio. Earlier than the Mitchell’s 
Early and as prolific as Crescent; fruit larger than either, of a bright scarlet 
color, perfect blossom, free from rust and entirely hardy. Fruit was picked 
from this variety the past season the 4th of May. — Originator's description. 
lP«.<f vert/ productive on spring set plants — the earliest variety in my eolleetion. 
A great plant maker and a strony. healthy grower.
