HEW YORK.—Originated by Martha G. Yates, 
of Slaterville Springs, N. Y., and 
introduced by me some 11 years ago. The New York 
has been steadily gaining in popularity until it is 
today one of the largest-grown varieties for the home 
garden or local market. It is not firm enough to ship 
long distances, except under refrigeration. The ber- 
| ries are very large and some are rather pointed, while 
others are thick and broad. It is a seedling of the 
| Bubach, fertilized with Jessie. The color is a beam 
tiful scarlet, with a shiny surface. The seeds are so 
near the color of the berry and deeply set that they 
are scarcely noticeable. It is a strictly fancy berry 
and a prize winner, just the kind to make the grower 
famous in his local market and give him the best 
trade. Small inferior berries have no show by the 
side of the New York, no matter how cheap they are 
offered. It is very prolific bears through a long sea- 
son, but it does not matter liow fast they ripen, as 
there are usually more eager buyers than can be sup- 
I plied. Its excellent quality and wonderful productive- 
I ness make it very profitable to grow. The foliage is 
light green, a luxuriant grower and free from dis- 
, ease. The plant is one of the largest and healthiest 
on the place. Since its introduction it has become 
very popular, and it is seldom that we have plants 
enough to supply the demand, especially to those who 
order late. We have many glowing accounts of its 
superior quality from our customers", and if you have 
never planted the New York you should not fail to 
do so.

I FROM PEOPLE THAT KNOW. X 
Summit Co., Ohio. April fi, 1910. ? 
Mr. W. F. Allen, Salisbury, Md. 
Dear Sir—The plants arrived yesterday and v 
your kind letter the day before. We thank you ^ 
most sincerely. The plants are all right. It is T 
worth a great deal to be perfectly confident that T 
those with whom we have business transactions x 
will do the square thing every time. With 
kindest wishes for your success, we are, sin- 
cerely yours, M. CRAWFORD CO J 
NORWGOOD. —Originated in Massachusetts by 
N. B. White, who describes it as 
follows : “The Norwood was named and given first 
prize by the Massachusetts Horticultural Show at its 
exhibition in 1906. It is supposed to be a cross of 
the Marshall and Corsican, as it came up where the 
Marshall had been grown. The plants are strong, 
making a liberal number of strong runners, but not 
excessive. The berry is conic and regular in shape. 
The quality is unsurpassed and the size unequaled, 
some attaining the enormous size of three inches in 
diameter. Color, bright red all the way through, 
growing darker with age ; it is firm, a good keeper and 
will ship well; has a perfect blossom and holds its 
size well through the season.’’ My stock was ob¬ 
tained from the originator, for which I paid the 
nominal sum of $40 per hundred. The first season 
I only made about 500 plants from this hundred, but 
I now have a fair-size stock and have put the price 
at $5 per thousand. The Norwood as grown with me, 
however, has not been equal to the above description 
by any means. It very much resembles the Marshall 
in plant and growth, and it is my opinion that if it 
is not the same as Marshall it is no better. 
HIGHLAND. —Introduced by M. Crawford, of 
Ohio, and a chalice seedling found 
by Mr. T. M’. Carlisle, of the same State. This variety 
has now fruited with me for the second time and it 
gave an immense crop of fine looking, large berries. 
The fact is I am very much pleased with it and be¬ 
lieve it will become a money-maker among the com¬ 
mercial varieties. It makes very large, healthy 
plants. The fruit is of good size, fine color and 
form. It is giving good results at the Experiment 
Stations and, so far as I have heard, is giving satis¬ 
faction among growers everywhere. We have not a 
large stock, but would advise our customers to plant 
at least a : few. 
CHIFMAN. -d ’erfrct blossom, medium early, a 
large, firm and good berry. The 
berries lay close to the ground under the foliage, and 
it is one of the best medium early. I am not giving 
a long description of the Chipman, but suffice it to 
say that I am planting it for market. 
HUMMER —The Hummer is a big fellow, as its 
name would indicate, and hails 
from Michigan. Its exact origin is not known, but 
it is probably a seedling of the New York, as it re¬ 
sembles that variety in many respects. Some of our 
customers claim, however, that it is even more pro¬ 
ductive. With all of its other good qualities it is a 
grand, good berry, which is emphasized by the fact 
that we have seldom had plants enough to go around.
