Aberdeen is proving very popular in some sections 
MIDSEASON VARIETIES 
ABERDEEN. A comparatively new variety becoming very pop¬ 
ular in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and justly so, for it has 
much to recommend it. The plants show unusual thriftiness, making 
an abundance of new plants, and we recommend planting the Aberdeen 
24 inches apart in the rows. The Aberdeen is unusually productive, 
equaling or surpassing the Premier. The berries will average larger 
than Premier, being somewhat pointed in shape, and most every berry 
is perfect in shape. Its ripening period extends from two to three 
weeks. 
HAVERLAND. It is a heavy yielder, and can be depended upon 
to bring up a crop every season. If you have any berries at all, you 
are sure to have Haverland. It is one of the toughest and strongest 
growers on our list. The berries are fair size, long-conical, firm and 
a fair shipper, and it never rusts. Not so popular as it once was, but 
a wonderful berry in some places still, though Premier has about 
displaced it in many, if not most localities. 
Mr. Calvin Davidson of Pa., says: Berry plants received in due 
time. Thanks for prompt shipment. Enclosed find another order.
