Eastern growers pronounce it the most promising extra early market variety. In pots,

PIPER.—Plant, strong and robust, i^roducing a heavy crop of fine large globular 
berries; rich, dark red color andfne f/iialily. This berry has been tested for some years, 
and now, without the slightest pushing or adverti.sing, is coming to the front as a very 
promising market variety. The President of the Illinois Horticultural Society, who has 
tested it from the very first, says it is an abundant bearer, of fine size and shape, and 
of most excellent flavor, and he has shipped it a two days’ journey by rail, in an atmos¬ 
phere of 92 degrees, and then kept it in good order for two days more, in open boxes, 
and he is planting it for market more extensively than all other varieties combined. 
Don't fail to test the Piper. 25 cents per dozen; $1.00 per 100. 
SUCKER STATE.—A seedling of Green Prolific, fertilized by Wilson’s Albany 
(good blood to start with), and in a marked degree it seems to possess the good points 
of both parents; plant extremely vigorous and .healthy, and free from rust; perfect 
flowering; very prolific, being inclined to overbear; ripens a few days after Wilson, 
which it resembles in shape, but averaging larger, and somewhat brighter in color; 
very firm, and consequently a grand shipping berry. Although not fully tested, it 
promise oihe'mg 8. very valuable ynarket variety. A gentleman in Alabama, who 
has tested all varieties, writes that Sucker State beats all for shipping long distances, and, 
in planting forty acres last spring, nearly all were Sucker State. 25 cents per dozen; 
$1.00 per 100. 
^ . OUR STOCK OF PLANTS. 
Owing to the fact that every plant dug during August or September is at the loss 
of ten or more young runners, we cannot afford to sell even the standard sorts at low 
rates by the 1,000. The growing season, however, being now very favorable, we are 
having a much better stock of young plants than is usual at this season of the year, 
consequently have put our summer prices very low for our Choice Pedigree Stock, for 
October or Novoniber planting. Can supply large lots at extremely low prices.
