TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS

Bubach. I have a fine strain of this grand old variety 
BUBACH. I will speak of this variety by first asking how many of the older customers there are 
- that do not remember Bubach, or, as it used to be called, Bubach No. 5; and I want to 
ask further how many of the older customers there are that have seen many, if any, better berries than 
the Bubach was when it was first put on the market; and right here I want to say that I have a very fine 
strain of this grand old variety that I think is just about as good as the Bubach was in its earlier days. 
Our Bubach plant beds are just about 2 feet across, with as fine, luxuriant, healthy growth as you will 
find in almost any variety of this section. The fact is, we have had so much demand for this grand old 
variety that I have kept it among my leaders, and only once in ten years have I failed to sell every plant 
that I had. My present stock will exceed half a million, and I doubt very much if there will be a plant left. 
“ The Bubachs were by far the finest berries and brought the best price. In my experience of Strawberry 
growing for fifteen years I have never seen any berry to equal the Bubach,” is the verdict of one customer, 
and we have many similar ones. We have a very fine stock of Bubach plants, and shall be pleased to have 
the orders of all customers who admire this variety. 20 cts. per doz., 35 cts. for 2=;, so cts. for so, 7S cts. 
per 100, $1.25 for 250, $2 for 500, $3.50 per 1,000. 
Cardinal. Makes a vigorous growth; very pro¬ 
ductive, very firm and handsome. It looks so well 
and yields so well, and, being easily grown, it is 
claimed to be one of the most profitable market 
varieties in Ohio. The berries average large and 
arc* bluntly conical, with a bright green cap that 
holds up remarkably well after shipping. It pos¬ 
sesses the solidity of the old Wilson, united with the 
vigor of plant, prolificacy and brightness of color 
of the famous Crescent, while the berries are larger 
than either. Season, medium to late; blossoms 
pistillate. 
Clyde. The Clyde is an immensely productive 
variety, with fruit nearly or quite as large as 
Bubach. It would be a popular variety over a 
wide range of country but for the fact that its 
foliage sometimes gives way about fruiting time 
and is not sufficient to protect the immense crop 
of fruit. This can be to some extent guarded against 
by an application of nitrate of soda in the spring 
before fruiting. The Clyde has been largely grown 
in Kentucky and seems to have been a favorite, 
and is even now with many growers. 
Commonwealth. This is a Massachusetts berry. 
I have fruited this berry and find it bears a good 
quantity of firm, large berries. A variety that I 
recommend for the North, but not for the South, 
as I think it is more adapted to northern sections, 
and for best results should be given rich soil and 
high culture.
