CARDINAL. —Originated with Mr. Geo. J. Streater, 
of Ohio, and introduced by The 
lemplin Co., of the same State. This berry has been 
satisfactorily advertised, and I think, as a rule, has 
given good results. It is vigorous in growth, produc¬ 
tive and exceedingly firm and handsome. It looks so 
well, and yields so well and, being easily grown, is one 
of the most profitable varieties for market. The berries 
average large and are bluntly conical with a bright 
green cap that holds up remarkably after shipping. It 
possesses the solidity of the old Wilson united with the 
vigor of the plant, prolificacy and brightness of color 
of the famous Crescent, while the berries are larger 
than either. Season medium to quite late, blossoms 
pistillate. One grower remarks that it gets right down 
to business and keeps at it all the time. From Ohio 
comes the Word that it is good in plants growth and 
gives a wonderful yield. Altogether we consider this 
one of the valuable varieties that has come to stay. 
GREAT SCOTT. —Originated in Massachusetts 
by Mr. John Scott, and intro¬ 
duced by Mr. S. H. Warren. It was given its name 
“Great” because of its size, and “Scott” in honor of 
its originator, also "Great Scott” is a common expres¬ 
sion for anything surprising. It is a cross of Bubach 
and Belmont. The foliage and fruit of the Great 
Scott shine as though it were varnished. The fruit is 
very large, with a bright scarlet color turning to crim¬ 
son when very ripe. Its season is from medium to 
late. The quality is good. It does not make a large 
number of plants, but the plants are large in size, and 
a few plants well distributed over the row make a 
good showing. We have put the price much lower this 
season so that all who desire to can give it a trial at 
a nominal cost.

TOO GOOD NOT TO BE WIDELY 
KNOWN. 
Harford Co., Md., June 7, 1909. 
W. F. Allen, Salisbury, Md. 
Dear Sir—The Chesapeake berry (the 
plants came from your nursery last year) is 
now in fruitage, and we are delighted with 
if. The rich, red color seeds clearly defined 
on outside ; its size and flavor all combine to 
make a perfect, berry. It is firm, and bears 
handling better than other varieties, and is 
sweet and delicious. Its appearance is as 
perfect as the little imeries all good house¬ 
keepers have in their workbasket. With 
wishes for the successful introduction of the 
berry generally ; it is too good not to be widely 
known. Believe me, 
Very truly yours.

GOOD LUCK. —Originated by El wood Pedrick, of 
New Jersey. The fruit of this 
b°rvy a^ compared with Gandy is equally as large and 
a few days earlier; in shape it is conical to broad 
conical or wedge shape. The illustration was made 
from a photograph and is an exact likeness of the 
berry. With me it does much better than Stevens Late 
Champion, which seems 
to be growing popular 
in many sections. In 
plant growth it is 
o n e of the strongest 
that we have, makes a 
large number of plants 
and for best results 
should be kept thin. One 
customer from Indiana 
says: “Good Luck is 
splendid.” Thomas G. 
Smithson, of Washing¬ 
ton, D. C., says : “Good 
Luck especially made the 
finest plants T ever saw 
in my life, and 1 wish 
you could see them, not¬ 
withstanding the two 
months’ drouth we had 
this soring. What few 
I allowed to fruit, the 
berries seem to he all 
that I could wish.”
