General List of Varieties 
KlQ It ripens midseason, comes on rapidly and ripens all over at 
. w once, making it easy to pick. The shipping quality is good. 
It is not so firm as Blakemore or Fairfax, but it has shipped well for a numb¬ 
er of years and has brought high prices. We especially recommend it for 
the garden on account of its handsome appearance and excellent quality. 
It is also a particularly strong and vigorous grower, the equal of any. 
We feel sure that you will find that it meets every possible requirement of 
the market berry grower, and has a perfect bloom, so that it does not need 
a pollenizer. Has been popular a long time and will be for many years to 
come. A very dependable berry, but it is not as productive or as handsome 
as Catskill. 
CHESAPEAKE 
Ripens a little earlier than Gandy, but holds out about 
twice as long, and in most localities is vastly more 
productive, though Gandy may occasionally, with ideal soil, bear quite as many 
berries as Chesapeake. The great superiority that it has over nearly all others 
is its remarkable selling qualities, for we have positively known of sales where 
it brought twice as much per quart as other standard varieties of its season. 
It may be that there will be an overproduction of poor berries, but we doubt 
if there will ever be too many of such high quality and handsome berries as 
Chesapeake. Its only weakness is a difficulty in getting a bed of the plants. 
If you can grow it plant it. A handsome profit is reasonably sure, particu¬ 
larly in the Middle Atlantic and New England States. 
They Were. 
From Lehigh Co., Pa., Mrs. William J. Fritz says: My plants I got last 
year look very nice, and was indeed well pleased with them. Hoping these 
are as good.
