The Marie is distinct from all other 
varieties, berries of Springdale Beau¬ 
ty and Marie look almost exactly 
alike, but Springdale is better quality 
to our notion, a light weight berry 
and will, no doubt, stand up in long 
distance shipping better than Marie, 
but otherwise the Marie is in a class 
by itself in growth of vine and other 
particulars. It has borne heavily 
from the first fruiting here, and last 
year the crop was simply immense. 
We have not heard a single bad re¬ 
port of it, except one, where it did 
not get well fertilized. We grow 
Springdale Beauty alongside of it 
here, with Dunlap and Uncle Jim 
close by. 
MINUTE MAN. — (Imp.) — Fruit 
large, dark glossy crimson, firm and 
of good quality. The above is from 
our last year’s catalogue. Last season 
was quite wet and it was not so firm, 
but the berries were larger and more 
abundant. A good variety for the 
home garden or a nearby market. 
Midseason. 
DEWEY.—(Per.)—Fruit large, long, 
broad, bright red color, firm and of 
good quality. A seedling of the Hav- 
erland and resembles that variety in 
fruit, only larger and higher colored. 
The plants are upright growers, hold¬ 
ing the fruit well up from the ground. 
Some years the vines show a tenden¬ 
cy to rust not seen in the Haverland. 
Promising. 
NETTIE.— (Imp.) — Fruit extra 
large, light red color, quite tart. 
Plants large, healthy, very vigorous 
and productive. Very late. If this 
was a handsomer berry and better 
quality and firmer, it would be a very 
valuable variety. 
PENNELL.—(Per.)—Fruit large, 
nearly round, deep rich red color, firm 
and of the highest quality. 
We think more of the Pennell every 
year. It always bears heavily and is 
one of the varieties to which we di¬ 
rect our friends who visit us in fruit¬ 
ing when they want something extra 
fine. It is a good grower and a good 
variety. If you have discriminating 
customers try them with the Pennell. 
Medium to late. 
PORTO RICO.—(Imp.)— A seed¬ 
ling of Parker Earle and Haverland. 
The berries show more like Parker 
Earle, but is a much better plant 
See A B C of Strawberry Culture and 
maker. The fruit is large, glossy and 
handsome, very uniform in size and 
shape, firm and of good quality. 
This variety is one of our favorites 
here. It is a good cropper and a fan-, 
cy berry. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. 
SENATOR DUNLAP. — (Per.) — 
We have over a million plants of this 
fine variety for sale in 1904, and if 
not sold, judging from the past, and 
the low price at which we shall offer 
them, they will pay us equally as well 
to fruit. We have told you much 
about this berry in our crop report, in 
our annual letter. It is a good varie¬ 
ty. On leachy soil and in a dry sea¬ 
son the berries might be smaller, but 
they will always be fine. Here they 
have always averaged as large as our 
illustration and last year they were 
much larger. Plants of this variety 
are small, but here they have very 
long roots. They may not root so
