Parker Earle. This is one of the 
few vatneties that seem to suceeed in all 
soils and it seems destined to be classed 
among the most desirable varieties for 
general cultivation. The fruit is of good 
size, long, conical, with slight neck, veiw 
bright red, r|uality good, with a rich, 
mild flavor. It is firm enough to carrj^ 
well, and its fine appearance will alwa 3 ^s 
make it sell. The plants are healtlijr and 
vigorous, making immense crowns and 
not man 3 ^ runners. As a market berr 3 ^ 
it must become popular. Season late. 
Saunders. A Canadian berr 3 r of 
gi'eat value for the market grower. The 
plant is large and vigorous, and is as 
healthy and haiaU^ as an 3 ^ ever set out. 
It has a perfect blossom, and is ver 3 ^ pro¬ 
ductive. The fruit is very large, conical, 
slightly flattened, and often has a de¬ 
pression on one or both sides. It is deep 
red, and remarkably glossy. The flesh 
is of the same color and has a sprightU^, 
agreeable flavor. 
Schuster’s Eem- (P.) A mag¬ 
nificent variet 3 rwith an unusualh^ strong 
and vigorous plant, bright, healthy foli- 
age. Fruit large globular shape, regular 
and uniform, maintaining a good size to 
the end, beautiful bright scarlet, excellent 
qualit 3 r. It is onl 3 ^ moderateh' firm and 
hence is not especiall 3 ^ adapted for dis¬ 
tant shipment, but for the local market, 
or for the garden it is unexcelled. It 
adapts itself to almost any soil and lo¬ 
cation. Earl 3 ' to mid-season. 
Haverland. (P.) The great pro¬ 
ductiveness of this variety renders it ex¬ 
ceedingly profitable for a local or near-by 
market, and also ver 3 ^ desirable for the 
home garden. It recjuires hcav 3 r soil, 
however, and is then very satisfactory. 
The plant is a strong grower, with good 
foliage, and the fruit is large, long, with 
rounded apex, of a bright, glossy crimson, 
good quality and moderatel 3 ^ firm. Early. 
Michel’S Early. {Osceola.) Avery 
earl 3 ^ variet 3 r of the Crescent t 3 qDe,with a 
vigorous and healthy growing plant. It 
bears abundantly and with liberal man¬ 
uring, and by not allowing it to run too 
freely, it will give satisfaction. Extra

SHARPLESS. 
Sharpless. Demands rich, strong 
soil, without which it is apt to jjrove dis¬ 
appointing in yield. The plant is exceed¬ 
ingly large and vigorous and quite free 
from rust or blight. Berries large to 
veiw large, somewhat irregular in shape, 
crimson, moderately firni and of good 
qualit 3 ^ It is a profitable variety for a. 
near market on account of its large size, 
and with good culture will furnish an 
abundance of fine fruit. Mid-season. 
'reniaessee Prolific. Decidedly 
one of the best and most i^irofitable of the 
stanclard sorts. We have fruited it large- 
13 " and found it suiqDassed bv no other 
earh" varieties for profitable returns. It 
ripens among the earliest and the berries 
are uniformh" large, bright crimson, firm 
and good in qualit 3 ". 
■Woolvertou. Wherever this var- 
iet 3 " has been tested it has made a good 
record. It is a splendid grower, sending 
out plent 3 " of strong runners and bearing 
abundanth". The fruit is large, resembl¬ 
ing the Br;l)ach in form except that the 
kirgest beny on the stem is often more 
irregular. The color is a bright red and 
the c|uality is veiy good.
