We have been growing this variety for several years, 
and it has always been good; it seems that it is 
improving with age. Blossoms are perfect, a vigorous grower and Jr 
quite productive; large, firm berries, well colored and good enough for L 
the home table, and firm enough to ship. 
AMANDA ^ berry that should bring top prices on any market H 
AlVlAnUA. which appreciates fancy, large fruit. We have fruited 
this variety several times, and last year it was especially fine; \\< had 
no trouble at all in finding berries twenty-four of which filled u quart. W 
It is one of the very best large-fruiting varieties grown; the plants are 
vigorous, healthy, large and upright in growth; blossoms are perfect. 'V 9 NKD|E 9 Kfl 
Growers wishing an extra-large, good-quality berry should plant some 
Amanda. As an addition to being large in size, it is also a very heavy 
bearer. Last year we had a very large stock, but the growers had i 
learned either for themselves or from us how good it was, and at the 
end of the season we had none of our large stock left. We consider the . 
Amanda the largest good berry on the market and we feel sure that 
all who plant it will agree with us. Abinjtnn

AROMA This is an old standard that has been on the market a good many years 1 to lie gaining 
AAUllln. j n popularity all the time. We often receive letters from our custom- 1 »h.«t “the new 
varieties may be good, but Aroma is good enough for me.” The foliage is dark .1 1 .» spreading 
habit. It is a staminate variety, and as a pollenizer of pistillate varieties it 1 m b has a very 
long picking season, the blossoms beginning to open medium early and coni innu . • »«•; the berries 
are rich in color, large in size and deliciously aromatic in flavor. The surfai <1 • did. It is a 
good grower and a good, all-round reliable market berry. Aroma does well in tin ■ ■•»**, but recently 
it is becoming popular in the warmer climates of this country and in Cuba; it « • m - m the warmer
