latter varieties failed utterly the Uncle Jim yielded a fine crop of immense berries, that 
I sold to a "fussy’' customer with perfect satisfaction to him. Enclosed find a small 
order. The plants received some weeks ago are looking fine, as good as plants bought 
here in Massachusetts. Very truuly yours,

Success 
(Perfect.) This variety is described as one of the earliest to ripen. 
The berries large, of globular form, bright flame color, and of supe¬ 
rior mild sweet flavor, but not firm enough for shipping. Plants of strong, vig¬ 
orous growth and one of the most prolific varieties in cultivation. By reason of 
its earliness, beauty, fine quality and great productiveness it is a strawberry of 
great value to the home grower. Plants of this variety were sent to us last 
spring by one of our customers in Connecticut; also the following letter which 
we copy in part. 
North Stoughton, Connnecticut, February 13, 1905. 
Dear Sirs:—Your catalogue to hand and I have given it a thorough perusal. I get 
many catalogues from all over the U. S., but am most pleased to get yours of any that 
come to me. Your Eaton raspberry plants come high at 50 cents each, but I must 
have them. I bought three plants of Early King of you several years ago at 25 cents 
each. I have sold thousands of the plants, all grown from the three I got of you to 
start with. I have a strawberry that you do not catalogue, a Connecticut seedling. "The 
Success." There is another variety by this name described as a small plant, while this 
"Connecticut" variety makes a large plant, as large as Bubach, of which it is a seed¬ 
ling crossed with Michels Early and heats any early berry I have ever fruited. I send 
you clipping from the Farm and Home in regard to it, etc. Very truly yours, 
CHARLES E, CHAPMAN. 
ji /| l (Perfect.) Originated by H. O. Mead, ex-president of the Massachu- 
IVlCclQ setts Fruit Growers Association and described as follows: 
It is a good thrifty grower, with healthy foliage, perfect blossom, and fruit as 
near perfection in form as I ever saw. Flesh redish and solid, and to my taste one of 
the best in quality. It is a heavy cropper of good sized berries which hold their size 
well till the end of the season. It colors evenly, with no green tips, and does well on 
all kinds of land.—Originator.

(Perfect.) We were much pleased with our first fruiting of this 
new berry. The plants are good strong growers. The fruit is 
large, dark red, firm and of good quality. It ripened early and continued 
fruiting a long time, bearing heavily. One of the most promising, 
pvl * (Perfect.) Plants from California in 1903. Fruit large, nearly 
vyiympia round, bright red, moderately firm, good quality and productive. 
Quite similar in foliage and fruit to Mexican, but larger and more productive. 
A good home berry. Medium early. 
xt • (Imperfect.) Plants large, vigorous and healthy; a good grower. 
iMClllC Fruit large, light red and produced in great abundance. If the fruit 
was firmer, more attractive and of better quality, it would rank well here 
with the best late varieties. Recommended only for trial. It has pleased 
others.

I have grown this berry for several years and have never seen its equal for earli¬ 
ness. large size, productiveness, color, quality and firmness. Out of 15 kinds this was 
far ahead as a money-maker, and were all done except the last picking when others 
began. I believe it will average twice the size and double the quarts of Michels Earlv 
aside from being five days earlier. 
M. Crawford says:
