Graham’s Small Fruit Catalogue 
LATE VARIETIES. 
iHELPPAK.D. (Imp.) Originated in the state of Maryland by W. S. Todd, 
originator of the Seaford. It has been carefully tested in field culture several years, 
and all who have seen it say it is the most valuable late berry ever produced. The 
plants are strong and robust with dark green foliage that grows very tall. Has 
never shown any sign of rust, or other diseases. Ripens about two days later than 
Gandy and continues in bearing a long time. It is as prod\ictive as any variety ever 
grown here. The berries are medium to large, very handsome, firm, of good quality 
and a bright glossy crimson color. They hold their size and shape to the end of the 
season. The plant is a very vigorous grower and should be thinned out for best results. 
Mr. Todd says it is the best late strawberry ever produced. Dozen, i^c\ 25, 20C\ 100, 
SOC\ 1,000, $2.J5. 
i AnPLE. (Imp.) No variety has been introduced with better testimonials. 
The plants are (ptite vigorous and very productive. The berries are medium to large, 
regular heart shaped, crimson, fairly firm and of good quality. The fruit colors 
over at once without any white tips. The Sample was the most productive berry at 
the Massachusetts Experiment station where a large number strawberries were on 
trial. Dozen, i$c; 25, 20c; 100, 60c; 1,000, $3.50. 
RIDOEWAT. (Per.) We had nothing on our grounds last sea.son that 
gave ntore satisfaction than Ridgeway. The plant is very vigorous, clean and heal- 
thy, making a fine row on soil moderately rich, producing a fine crop of the most 
beautiful berries, nearly round in shape, with a glossy bright color of the Haverland, 
good size and very uniform, and fairly firm. It was produced from the seed of Jer- 
sey Queen crossed with the Parker Early, a good pollenizer. Dozen, 15c; 2$, 20c; 
roo, 6oc; 1,000, jtj.50. 
THE KLONDIKE,. ( Per. ) The Klondike .still holds its own as a desiralde 
late sort. It has all the points of a good late variety, and may be planted with con- 
fidence. Under similar conditions it will bear more fruit, and of better quality for 
the table, than the Hunn, but is not quite so late. It is as late as the Gandy, more 
productive, and of as good quality, but I have not seen it as fine in size and appear- 
ance. Dozen, 15c; 2$, 20c; 100, 6oc; 1,000, Jfj.50. 
NICIC OHMER. (Per.) A large, .stocky, thick-leaved plant; a very large, 
showy, perfect bloom. Productive of very large, deep red berries of very high qual- 
ity. Under hill culture, Nick Ohmer promises to be exceedingly valuable, as it will 
thrive grandly where Marshall and other berries of that class fail entirely in growth 
as well as fruiting. Doixn, yjf; 25, 20c; 100, 60c; 1,000, $3-SO. 
KOUOH ItLIDER. { Per. ) l.ast season our crop of new plants were sold 
so close that we picked the berries from the old hills. They bore a good crop of 
medium size, conical, dark red, firm berries; red clear through and of fair quality. 
The plants are very large and heavily rooted but lack vigor. Makes runners spar- 
ingly. Dozen, 13c; 23, 20c; 100, y^c. 
MARGARET ( Per.) The plant is large, healthy, and a vigorous grower, 
having dark glossy foliage. It is very productive and the fruit is of extra size anti 
quality. It ripens all over a dark glossy red and retains its color to the centre. The 
flesh is firmer than any other large berry I know of. The .season is from medium to 
very late, and the berries keep up in size to the last picking. Dozen, 13c; 23, 20c; 
roo, 60c; 1,000, $3.30. 
OIBJON. (Per.) From New York. This variety is remarkable for its 
splendid growth, great productiveness and large .size. The plant is large and thrifty, 
healthy and perfectly free from rust. Fruit large, long, conical, very regular in 
form and great firmness. In quality it is very sweet and rich. The color is a bright 
glossy crim.son. On account of its fine flavor and good shipping qualities it will 
without doubt become very popular. Midsea.son. Price per dozen, 13c; 23, 23c, too, 
joc; 1,000. %4.oo. 
EMPREii. ( Per.) The plant is a healthy, luxurious grower, .shows great 
vitality and drouth re.sisting (pialities; very productive. The fruit begins to ripen 
shortly after the early berries, but the season is so long that it may be considered
