it. I shall plant largely of it the coming 
season. The plant is a strong grower, and 
will produce equal to anything I have ever 
raised. The fruit is of large size, and holds 
up to the end of the season. Ripens late. 
The foliage grows well up above the blos- 
soms, which makes a great protection from 
frost.

SPLENDID. — This is a wonderful plant 
maker, equaling, if not surpassing the Cres- 
cent and Warfield in this respect. The 
plants, though not sialky like Bubneh and 
others of that class, have exceptionally long 
roots, and for drought resisting qualities 
are unexcelled. The drought of last sum- 
mer killed thousands of runners of many 
standard varieties, but the Splendid stood 
up through it all and I have not yet seen a 
single dead plant from the effects of the 
drought. The foliage is very dark green. 
The fruit is large and almost as round as an 
apple, very firm, productive and has a per- 
fect blossom. No one need hesitate about 
planting it. largely for either a near or dis- 
tant market. It has been well tested and 
seems to succeed everywhere. 
M. Crawford says: “I have no scruples 
about recommending this berry as one of 
the reliable varieties. It produces a large 
crop of fine fruit, and is as well able to 
mature its fruit as any we have. It is 
probably the deepest rooting plant I have.”

BISEL (P). From southern Illinois, 
where it has a great reputation as a 
profitable market berry. Having heard so 
much of the variety, I was anxious to see 
how it would behave here. Plant shows 
no weakness of any kind, but is well able 
to carry its great load of fruit to maturity. 
Blossoms are pistillate. Plants healthy; 
'vigorous growers and abundant plant 
makers. They have long fine matted roots 
which enables them to stand severe 
drouths. The fruit is very large, luscious 
and firm. Seeds slightly imbedded. Color 
a deep glossy red with a double calyx. 
Very productive. Season, same as the 
Crescent, but continues to fruit later, and 
very uniform in shape and size. The fruit 
is held from the ground by large trasses, 
but is protected from frosts by its large 
foliage. One of the best plant makers. 
Runners large and long and sets its plants 
wide apart. The Bisel made more fruit 
than any other variety, and many growers 
are preferring it to the Warfield for this 
section. It stands more drouth.

CYCLONE has a perfect flower, and is 
the earliest with me. The plant is large 
and a vigorous grower, free from rust. 
It is as healthy and hardy as any ever 
sent out, makes many runners and is 
enormously productive. It excels all other 
varieties we have ever fruited of the early 
varieties. We do not claim for it the 
largest size, but that it is above medium 
average, always of uniform shape, a 
beautiful color— the berries color all over 
at once a bright red, then changing to a 
dark glossy red. The flavor is excellent, 
and is a No. 1 shipper.— Originator. 
This berry was originated by Mr. E. W. 
Cruse, of Leavenworth county, Kan. The 
foliage and growth of the plant reminds us 
very much of the Haverland. It has a 
long season. It is an excellent one to 
fertilize Haverland, as the color of the 
fruit is similar, also the shape. The past 
year we have heard nothing but praise of 
byclone.— C. W. Graham.

ANNIE LAURIE originated about 
six years ago by Mr. John F. Beaver, of 
Montgomery county, O. During the last 
twenty years he has tested nearly all the 
leading varieties, and he thinks this is not 
surpassed in real merit. The plant is 
strong and stocky, a luxuriant grower, as 
healthy as any in cultivation and a good 
bearer on either light or heavy soil. It has 
a perfect blossom, and the fruit will keep 
in perfection as long as any variety I know 
of. The berry is roundish and very uni- 
form in shape and size. The color is a 
glossy red with bright, yellow seeds set on 
the surface. The quality is unsurpassed.

MUSKINGUM. - -The fruit is large, 
conical in form, regular in outline and fine 
looking. Color, dark glossy red, firm and 
of good quality. It is a strong grower and 
very prolific. Late.
