a RAH AM'S SMALL FRUIT CATALOUUK. 
BRANDYWINE. Very vigorous, perfect blooming plant, tall fruit 
stalks, broad, heavy, dark green foliage. Plants are clean, thrifty growers 
and good bearers. Fruit stalks heavily loaded with large to very lai'ge berries. 
Flesh red clear through, firm, somewhat acid but rich, sprightly tlavor. A 
berry with a distinct characteristic of its own. Mid-season to late. 
ARMOUT’S PARKER EARLE. Resembles the very best type of 
the old Parker Earle. Plants a moderate grower and a heavy yielder ot large 
and slightly flattened bright crimson berries. A good shipper but needs high 
culture to produce a good crop. 
^App|^[_Q_ From Illinois. One of the best known market berries and 
pei-haps the very best shipper we have. The plant is a good grower and 
prolific bearer. It makes so many runners that unless some be cut oil, the 
plant is not at its best. Some growers manage this by setting the plants so far 
apart that they cannot cover the ground too thickly. When well grown the 
fruit is large, dark glossy red, lirm and attractive. 
ojAp|_£S. The fruit almost identical with Warfield, equally productive 
and possessing all the good qualities of the Warfield; yet it is a perfect bloom- 
er, making it the most valuable fertilizer for this variety known. It IS one of 
the very earliest to ripen, and not only ripens a few berries earlyj^but produces 
an abundance of early ones. 
ENHANCH. (Perfect) This is a good one for fruiting the second crop 
of berries. Some have picked the second crop of . them the same season and 
realized a fancy price. They are a good polenizer for late varieties. Fruit 
lar»-e, even shape. The plant is one of the most vigorous and healthy growers, 
producing an enormous crop of large-sized berries. The fruit is somewhat 
irregular but very firm, of good quality and ot a dark crimson in color. A 
profitable market variety. Tate. 
TENNESSEE PROLIFIC. Season second early. A very large pro- 
ductive beriy and good shipper. Very popular wherever grown. Especially 
valuable for shipping north. Succeeds well on sandy soil, as it roots deeply, 
but does well on heavier land. Dark red to center. Havor excellent. 
BEDER WOOD. This is the most productive of the very early varie- 
ties and in fact, is not excelled by any kind for its large yield of fruit. It 
ripens about three days behind Mitchell's Early, and a full week ahead of the 
Crescent; gives heavy pickings from the start and holds out to the rush of mid- 
season. Recommended by M. Crawford ns the best early variety. 
(P) A very pi'olific berry, bearing profusely, even under 
neglect. In growth it is very vigorous and hardy and produces better if the 
vines are not allowed to mat. They should be thinned even if the hoe has to 
be used. Fruit colors on all sides at once. A great cropper. Early. 
BISEL- A seedling of the Wilson from southern Illinois. It is grown 
very extensively for market and has given great satisfaction. The habits of 
the plant are good. The blossom is pistillate. Ihe fruit is large, fiim, blight 
red and produced in great abundance. 
OCEAN CITY. This berry has been very satisfactory here, both in 
plant and fruit. It is one of the last to rust and is a good yielder. Fruit is of 
large, firm, deep scarlet, with bright yellow seeds; pink-fleshed, with white 
center, very rich, sweet and high-flavored. Certainly a desirable berry for the 
family bed and for markets that want extra large size. Thrives on light or 
heavy soil.
