of the tallest plants we have ever grown and very productive. The berries are 
large enough to please the most exacting buyer.” As grown here for several 
years it makes enough large, tall, healthy plants with coarse foliage for a good 
fruiting bed. I do not recommend it for light soil but for any other it is 
very productive of a very large, beautiful fruit of good quality, and is firm enough 
for a commercial variety. I find it is becoming more popular in many sections 
each year and for anyone who has never given it a trial and wants a variety of 
its season it is well worth trying. 
SAMPLE. (Imp.) 
Another old variety that does not seem to lose in popularity. It is still largely 
planted by commercial growers in many sections and is one of the best mid¬ 
season to late varieties grown. It is noted for its large fruit and immense pro¬ 
ductiveness. The plants are good growers, large and heavy-rooted and all are 
loaded with large berries that hold their size to the last picking. The fruit is 
roundish, conical, dark-red, colors all over at once and is firm. 
GIBSON. (Per.) 
One of the best growers of large healthy plants and is a favorite with many 
large commercial growers in many sections. The fruit is of large size, dark-red, 
and the plants are loaded with fruit, you will hardly understand how plants can 
produce such quantities of fruit. The fruit is of good quality and firm enough 
for a good shipper. The fruit stalks are strong and upright which keeps the fruit 
from the ground where it is easy to pick. Growers who plant Gibson expecting 
a large crop will not be disappointed for it is one of the most reliable. This 
variety is also known as Parsons Beauty. 
AROMA. (Per.) 
One of the best late mid-season to late varieties grown and in some sections 
where a specialty is made of late fancy berries Aroma is the only late variety 
grown. One of the most productive of large, dark-red berries and of fine quality, 
firm and very good shippers, sells for fancy prices and is a money maker. It 
is one of the best to plant with late pistillate varieties. My Aroma plants for this 
season are very nice and I have a very good supply of them. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. (Per.) 
This has been largely planted in some sections for many years and is still 
a favorite with some growers. The plants will grow anywhere and with almost 
any kind of treatment. It is very productive and the berries are of medium size, 
bright glossy red, of good quality and a good shipper. While it is still largely 
grown in some sections I find many are discarding it for other varieties of the 
same season that they have found to be larger and more satisfactory in every way. 
DR. BURRILL. (Per.) 
A great plant maker that will make a good growth where any other variety 
will grow. It is extensively grown in some sections and is dependable and 
productive. The fruit is of medium size and good quality. It is so much like 
the Senator Dunlap that I can see no difference in the two.
