. WALTER. —This new and very distinct variety is a chance seedling found some years ago 
near a plantation of Jucunda, in western Pennsylvania, where it has been tested by the side of 
leading sorts, and surpassed them all in size, favor and productiveness. We are now having it 
tested in different sections of the country and a large field of them here. Along with all our other 
varieties will be in full fruiting in June, when all interested fruit growers are invited to come and 
test its value. No plants for sale. 
STANDARD SORTS OF GREAT VALUE. 
[Those marked (P> are Pistilate, and will not fruic alone; must be pbeedby the side of some perfect flowering sort, 
like Wilson or Charles Downing.] 
MINER’S GREAT PROLIFIC. —Plant, a strong, free grower, with clean, bright foliage, 
enormously productive; fruit large, somewhat irregular in shape; deep, rich, red color, firm enough 
for a near market; best quality. We have seen it growing in different States and on different 
soils, and everywhere producing enormous crops, and we now recommend it as the best berry to 
lake the place of the well-known Charles Downing, which is failing in some places, on account of 
rust or leaf blight. Price, 25 cents per dozen ; 50 cents per 50; 75 cents per too; S4 per 1,000; 
$iS per 5,000; S-30per io,ooo. 
SHARPLESS. — A superb variety in every respect, and moderately productive. Plant 
enormous, producing very' heavy fruit-stalks that are loaded with fruit of the largest size, the first 
picking, however, being very irregular. Quality good, ripens late. Took first prize at Massachu¬ 
setts Horticultural Exhibition, for largest fifty berries; also for best four quarts. Price, 25 cents 
per dozen ; 50 cents per 50; gi per 100 ; 54peri,000; S18 per 5,000. 
KENTUCKY. —.An “old stand by”; grows and fruits well, North, East, South, or West, 
and is one of the very best for dry, sandy soils. Plant vigorous, with tall, rank foliage, moderately 
prolific, of medium to large-sized conical berries ; light scarlet color, delicious flavor. One of the 
latest to ripen, hence very valuable for home use or market. Price, 25 cents per dozen; 50 cents 
per 50; 75 cents per loo; 84 per 1,000; SiSper 5,000. 
MOUNT VERNON.—Very prolific; fruit large to very large; very regular and uniform 
in shape; light scarlet color; only moderately firm, but of delicious flavor^ ripens late to very- 
late, and on this account must prove of value either for home use or near market. In firmness, it 
is about like the Charles Downing, and in quality fully equals that superior variety. This and 
Kirkwood are identical. Price, 25 cents per dozen; 50 cents per 50; 75 cents per loo; $4 per 
1,000; Sis per 5,000. > ’--r r 
CHARLES DOWNING. — Next to the old Wilson this variety has proved of greater value, 
over a wide range of country, than any of the older varieties. Plant a strong grower, always pro¬ 
ducing an abundant crop of medium to large berries of superior quality, making it valuable for 
home use or market. In some parts of New England it is suffering somewhat from rust, but reports 
from many sections of the country still place Downing very near the head of the list of reliable 
standard sorts. Price, 25 cents per dozen; 50 cents per 50; 75 cents per loo; S4 per looo- Sic 
per 5,000. ^ y 
LONGFELLOW.—A strong, healthy plant, making runners quite freely; only moderately 
productive; fruit of /arge size and delicious favor; rich, glossy, dark-red color, and very firm. 
A grand amateur berry, that will well repay high culture on heavy, strong soil ; ripens late. Price 
35 cents per dozen; Si per 100. *
