EARLY HATHAWAY. 
Parly Hathaway— This variety has not fruited 
with us, but judging from the healthy plant, a perfect 
Mossom, a seedling of the Wilson crossed with Hoff¬ 
man combines many good qualities both early, hardy 
and productive. The plants are perfect beauties with 
as, and we shall plant heavily of this variety. 
Originator describes it as being larger and fine, in 
■gvery way than Gandy, firm, of excellent quality, 
beautiful red color. Plant a good grower, dark leaf. 
Season of ripening with Mitchell’s Early. 
Louis Hubach—Imperfect Blossom. The most 
attractive variety on our grounds. The plants have 
eompletely covered the ground, the greatest plant 
-producers we have yet seen; long rooted plants that 
will stand the drouth, and we predict a bright pros¬ 
pect for this variety as shown by the growth on our 
land. 
The originator says it is a seedling of Warfield 
grossed with Lady Thompson, large size, somewhat 
round, very firm, and will ship as far as any straw¬ 
berry. Immensely productive, claiming to produce 
three times as many berries as Lady Thompson on the 
same soil. A business berry, dark red in color and 
Will not disappoint those who plant it. Four days 
later than Early Hathaway. I know of no better 
yielder. Originated in Arkansas. 
Auto—This new berry originated in Delaware; and 
by those who have grown it, is claimed to be of large 
size and fine quality, very productive, bearing fine 
srops in very dry weather, when other sorts are apt 
to be short. The plant is of unusual vigor, and carries 
laruit well up from the ground. Special claims are 
aade for its unusual high quality, and it is remarkable 
m a productive, perfect flowering variety. 
Aroma—(Per.) Plant shows no weakness ®f aap 
kind. Fruit very large, roundish, conical, rarely 
misshapen, glossy red, of excellent quality, and pro. 
duces in abundance. We could not supply the demand 
for this variety last year, but this year we have alarg« 
stock of them. 
Bubach— (Imp.) Hundreds of varieties have com® 
up since this one was put on the market by Mr. Bu¬ 
bach, of Illinois, and there will be hundreds more of 
them that will go before this variety. When you sum 
up the whole substance of the strawberry crop you will 
find the Bubach will be among the leaders of the old 
standard varieties when your hair has turned gray. Thi® 
berry has been thoroughly described year after year e 
but for the benefit of those who have not grown them we 
would say, the fruit is of the largest size, ofttimes cox. 
combed, and it is not at all unusual to find berries of thi® 
variety weighing an ounce to an ounce and a quarter. 
It will do fairly well under poor cultivation, but re¬ 
sponds freely to good food. The plant is perfect, hav* 
ing dark foliage, very stout crown. A prolific growet 
and only sets enough plants to give good sized berries.

Dear Sirs:—The Strawberry plants sent me last Spring- have don# 
so much better than I expected, that I cannot refrain from becoming 
an enthusiast on Maryland plants. At this writing they have com ¬ 
pletely filled the rows, whereas plants of my own raising set the. 
same day are quite open. Would have been wed pleased with my 
own plants if I had not set those you sent me; on the whole, i? 
would have been a good investment had I thrown my plants away 
and bought my entire setting of you. You will hear from me agate 
in the Spring. 
Yours respectfully, 
John Jeanralu.Jr.-
