large, of regular conical form, bright glossy red. The berries shine as if they were 
varni.shed and are as good as the Win. Belt or Marshall. They resemble the old Jn- 
cnnda in appearance. Mr. Wm. K. Wise, of Virginia, who named the variety and 
grows it extensively, considers it superior to the Wm. Belt in every way. We wonld 
most heartily recommend it to every grower for home use and to market growers 
who want one of the most beautiful berries in existence.” Per Dozen., 20C\ too, 6oc;

Minute Msn. (imp.) introduced in 1901 by Mr. Geo. F. Wheeler of 
Mass. Mr. Wheeler says in his circular for 1902, that last season the Minute Man was 
so large and fine that it readily sold in the Bos- 
ton market from 3 to 10 cents liigher than the 
other berries, and on account of the wet .season, 
it was the only variety he shipped as a fancy 
berry. The plant here is strong and hardy, a 
great runner, and entirely free from rust. The 
foliage is very abundant, and gives ample shade 
to the berries. The fruit is a (lark, glossy crim- 
son in color, and is borne on strong, stiff stems, 
which keep the berries off the ground. 
The quality is very fine, ecpial to Marshall, 
which is a good recommendation. With regard 
to size, the Minute Man produces berries as 
large as the best Bubach, but the average is 
about on a par with Brandywine, and the ber- 
ries continue a good size up to the last picking. 
Under good cultivation it will produce 6,000 
quarts to the acre Those who saw the Minute Man last summer in the picking sea- 
son were much pleased with it, and believed it to be a promising variety. In his 
Inly catalogue he said: "We place it above all others. It is the most productive ber- 
ry we have. Good size, the best quality, dark glossy red and of fine shape.” 
The plants here are exceedingly productive, of large, bright, attractive berries, 
that hold their size to the very last. Per !')ozen, 20c; 100, 60c; woo, $3.30. 
Sutherland, (imp.) originated ami introduced by Mr. Eugene Suther- 
land, of New York state. A strong growing, healthy plant. With dark green foli- 
age. ' It is larger than the Margaret or Sample, and with me it is more productive. 
Berries medium to large, of a bright crimson in color, and of good quality. B'rnit 
soniewdiat uneven, but very firm and fine for long shipment. 
The Introducer says: “It is a new seedling berry originated by me from the Bn- 
bach; I have cultivated it for the past five years. It is an early berry, strong yigcirons, 
healthy and the greatest bearer I have ever seen. As a market berry and tor home 
use it cannot be eciualed, for its productiveness is almost beyond belief, lliefiuitis 
large bright colored and of elegant flavor, and the Sutherland is bound to stand at 
the head of all varieties as a money maker for growers. It has an imperfect blos- 
som.” 
“As a proof that the Sutherland is a great berry to put money into the pockets 
of growers I will state that I had two rows of 1 10 plants each set in 1H99 Ihey 
werl fertilized with the Wm. Belt. Last season ( 1900) was a very unfavorable one 
because of drouth, but the two rows yielded 520 quarts of marketable berries, care- 
fully culled, and sold at an average price of twelve cents a quart in our home mar- 
ket. One picking yielded 120 quarts.” 
In March 1901, Mr. Sutherland wrote us, “The Sutherland last year in spite of 
thedry weather yielded at the rate of 12,870 quarts per ayre. They grew by the 
side of the Wm. Kelt and Cl>de, which were a total failure under the same treat- 
ment.” Per Dozen ^ 20c; wo, 6or; 1000, $^-50.
