Graham's Small Fruit Catalogue 
The description of the following varieties are taken from the Originator or In- 
troducer. The plants were received ino.st too late for any fruit except the Miller 
and Uncle Sam. They were very productive on spring-set plants and the fruit was 
large and fine 
niLLE-R.. (Per.) The Miller was originated, some eight years ago, by Mr. 
D. J. Miller, of Holmes county, Ohio. It was one of a large number of seedlings of 
great promise, of which eighty appeared worthy of introduction. These were tested 
by a number of growers, including ourselves, and the Miller was found to be the 
best of the entire collection. We have had it several years and consider it perfect 
in its class. The plant is as large as Bubach, runs very freelv and is very produc- 
tive. The fruit is borne on tall, strong fruit stems, but is fully shaded by the lux- 
uriant foliage. The fruit is of immense size, bright red, light inside, generally ob- 
tuse conical in form, never misshapen, moderately firm, and of delicious quality,— 
in our opinion as good as Marshall or Wm. Belt. The season is very long, extend- 
ing from midseason till most of the late berries are gone. Last summer’ the last 
berries we marketed were Miller. 
Of the Miller, the originator wrote us on Feb. 26, rgoi: “If it does not make 
any money for you it will make it for some one else. Witli me it proved to be the 
best and finest berry in existence, wonderfully productive and one of the best grow- 
ers. It is no risk to plant it by the acre.’’ ° 
On Nov. 29, 1901, he wrote: “The Miller comes nearest the ideal berry in plant 
and fruit of any berry on the market. The Bubach was my favorite berry for many 
years, but Miller will take its place now with me. The Bubach cannot come half 
way in plant making, and the Miller has many advantages over the Bubach in fruit- 
ing season. It carries a large perfect blossom and is far better in quality, and its 
season is about ten days longer than the Bubach.” 
Miller, on fall-set plants, has some very fine fruit and is the one very promisin<s 
exception among all my new varities — T. C. Robinson, (Ont.) July 18, 1901. 
Rev. F. B. Stevenson, of Ontario, said in the Canadian Horticnllurid Septem- 
ber, 1901: I would just like to mention another fine new variety that I was much 
pleased with the past season. The Miller, a perfect bloomer; the plant is very large 
as large as any variety I know, is very productive, the berry was very large and first 
ripe June 2tst, or six days after Senator Dunlap; the berry is bright red and borne 
on very strong fruit stems. It comes when large berries are needed, it is medium in 
firmness, it was ripe one day before the Williams, is much l.arger, and is one well 
worthy of trial.” — .VI. Crawford.

UNCLE -SAM -STRAWBERRY. (Per.) This new seedling berry or- 
iginated in Ohio, and may prove superior to any of recent introduction. The plants 
here are very vigorous and large. The introducer says: 
"Large to very large, will average larger than the Bubach. but has a much lomr- 
er season, a perfect bloom and is much more prolific. Have picked Uncle Sam her 
nes as early as May 22, and on July 5 of the same year, picked berries I’A inches in 
diameter There are no green ends, no buttons or nubbins on first year’s fruitinir 
Color red, quality delicious, foliage strong and vigorous; berries of Uncle Sam can 
be picked two weeks after most other berries are gone. Ripens with the Bubach ” 
* 1 McElory, one of the principal berry growers of Ohio who has tes- 
ted the Uncle Sam with all the standard varieties, says it excells all others on his 
grounds. He has not seen the equal and doubts if it has any.

-SOUTHEICLAND. (imp.) Originated and introduced by Mr. Eugene 
Southerland of New York state. The plants resemble the Sample. They are larger 
more vigorous and have a dark green foliage. The originator says of the Souther- 
land:
