BERRIES WE KNOW AND GROW 
ABINGTON. We have been growing this va¬ 
riety for several years, and it has always been good; 
it' seems that it is improving with age. Blossoms are 
perfect, a vigorous grower and quite productive; 
large, firm berries, well colored and good enough for 
the home table, and firm enough to ship. 
AMANDA. A berry that should bring top 
prices in any market that appre¬ 
ciates fancy, large fruit. We have 
fruited this variety several times, 
and are well pleased with its appear¬ 
ance in every way. We don’t hesi¬ 
tate to recommend it as one of the 
best large-fruiting varieties. In 
plant-growth it is vigorous, strong 
and healthy, making large plants of 
upright growth. The berries are 
large to very large; beautifully 
colored and firm. Blossoms perfect. 
Every grower who wishes to grow 
good-quality berries of the largest 
size should plant Amanda, whether 
growing for home market or ship¬ 
ping; in fact we have been so 
favorably impressed with the many good qualities 
of the Amanda that we have been afraid to tell how 
really good it was, until we could get a larger stock 
of plants. This we have finally succeeded in doing, 
and are now in a position to share them with all of 
our customers who appreciate very large berries of 
good quality. We consider the Amanda the largest 
good berry on the market, and one that will give 
universal satisfaction. Don’t fail to try it. (See 
colored illustration on front cover page.)
