: SAMPLE. The berry ripens cam late, a little later than the 
Big Joe. It holds up well throughout the season. An old reliable 
variety, especially through Pennsylvania and the Middle West. 

GIBSON (Parsons’ Beauty). Plants very productive, berries very 
good in quality and excellent for canning. I do not recommend it, 
however, except for a moist, swampy soil of fair fertility; but when 
given that, it is one of the greatest berries ever grown, provided the 
season is not too wet at picking time. If there is much rain when they 
are ripening they are sure to rot badly. 
BURGESS. From Alabama and a seedling of Aroma. It is the 
claim of the originator that is is superior to that justly famous variety. 
If that be true; it is safe to say that we shall hear of Burgess for a 
long time to come. It is a good grower and we advise all our friends 
to give it a trial. The berries are very beautiful and firm and it is 
productive. 
“; BIG BILL. A very late variety that we have found, bearing 
even later than the Chesapeake. It is not inclined to bed heavily. 
The berries are large with a large green cap. Any one interested in 
a very late berry will do well to try them on a small scale. We have 
only a limited supply of plants.
