E. W. Reid, Bridgeport, Ohio.— 
One hundred.dollars are offered for 
the 10 heaviest Timbrell strawber¬ 
ries to be grown next year. A 
beautiful portrait of the Timbrell 
shows the berry accurately enough 
except as to its characteristic mot¬ 
tled color which in the plate is not 
quite pronounced enough. Mr. Reid 
purchased the entire stock of this 
remarkable variety of the originator 
and those who offer the plants for 
sale must look to him for their 
supplies. We have only to repeat 
what has elsewhere been said, that 
we hope every reader of The R. 
N.-Y. that raises strawberries will 
give the Timbrell a trial. Mr. Reid 
offers all the leading kinds of straw¬ 
berries, blackberries, raspberries, 
grapes, etc., as well as large fruits 
and ornamental shrubs and trees.etc.

prove a welcome addition to amateur collections. 
Extreme earliness, hardiness and productiveness are 
its meritorious characteristics. The bunch and berry
