QUAEAWS SMALL FBUIT CATALOGUE. 
Clyde 5TKflWBERRT. 
This excellent market berry makes a thick and wide matted row, and as it 
is immensely productive, it insures a large 
crop. Large, attractive berries, good color 
and handsome appearance. It makes many 
large clusters of fine berries. But few var- 
ieties ever introduced has given better satis- 
faction in all parts of the country. 1 have 
fruited it twice and considei’ it to be the very 
best early variety over offei'ed the American 
people. It is a strong staminate, the plant 
is very vigorous and healthy, thei’e being no 
trace of disease about it that I have ever 
seen. The foliage is a light green in color. 
It produces strong plants with an abundance 
of long roots which penetrate the soil deeper 
than most varieties. The berries are not 
only of the largest size, running large to the 
very end of the season and bearing in enor- 
mous quantities, but of a brilliant scarlet 
color. They will carry well to market and sell well when they get there. 
Then, as a table beivy, it is hardly surpassed bv any variety in existence. 
I can recommend the Clyde to those who want a fine, large, early berry. 
riflRQflRET. 
This variety has done even better than I had reason to expect. The plant 
is large, healthy and a vigorous grower, having dark, glossy foliage. It is very 
productive and the fruit is of extra size and quality. It ripens all over a dark, 
glossy red and retains its color to the center. The flesh is firmer than any 
other iarge berry I know of. The season is from medium to very late and the 
berries keep up in size to the last picking. 
JflTISF/ICTION. 
A seedling of Wiison, resembling that variety in its fruit, but having an 
ironclad leaf that effectually resists the leaf rust to which Wilson is so subject. 
While the berries are not of the largest size they are above the average, being 
much larger than Wilson, are uniform in size and shape, holding out well to 
close of season. Berries are bright red. Owing to its fine appearance, uniform 
size and good shipping qualities, it sold for better prices this season than most 
varieties. It has a perfect blossom, is a good plant maker of thrifty growth, 
long, deep roots. Season medium to late. Very productive. 
Belle. 
Originated near Cleveland. Few kinds have made a better record. I'he 
plant is a good grower, one of the last to rust, and a great bearer. Blossom 
perfect. Fruit very large, often eockscombed, dark, shining red, firm and of 
good flavor. Its blossom is one of the hardiest and the fruit ripens until very 
late. Its one fault is its habit of growing flat and misshapen. 
BISMARCK. A seedling of Bubach. A stout, vigorous grower on my 
grounds. F"ruit obtuse conical and very heavy, color bright scarlet with no 
green tips; firm, fine flavor and prolific; season late; a better grower and 
equally as jirolific, with a perfect blossom. A decided acquisition.
