STRA^ERRY.
Bisexual — Midseason.
This is one of the finest and most attractive varieties grown for the
home garden — the berries average very large, perfectly formed and of
rich, glossy crimson color, permeating the flesh almost to the centre,
rendering it the ideal dessert strawberry, and unsurpassed for canning
and preserving. The flavor is exceptionally sweet. The plant is a strong,
healthy, luxuriant grower; it can always be depended upon to yield a
bountiful crop. It is a second early variety, perfect flowering, and bears
continuously for several weeks. Price, 75c. per doz., $4.00 per 100.
Glen Mary. This new Strawberry is the best berry for large size, good
quality and large yield that has ever been offered to the American
people, and in these three respects we believe it has no equal. We
especially recommend it for the home garden and nearby market. In
productiveness it is unsurpassed. In size the berries average extra-
ordinarily large ; in shape the berries are broadly heart-
shaped ; color, dark glossy crimson, fairly firm and of
excellent quality; plant strong and healthy.
Bederwood (Rackster). (Early.) A valuable early Straw-
berry ; an enormous bearer, large size, light scarlet.
Bubacb No. 5 (P). (Midseason.) A prominent Strawberry
grower says " If all varieties were culled out but ten, he
would place Bubach No. 5 at the head of the list on account
of its large, bright berries, immense yield and fine flavor."
Haverland (P). One of the best berries in existence ; extra
early and marvelously productive. Bright glossy crimson,
large handsome fruit of fine quality.
Jessie. (Midseason.) This fine Strawberry has given uni-
versal satisfaction. Fruit large and of excellent quality.
Lovett. (Early.) Brightest crimson, of superb quality.
Michel's Early. (Early.) This is a robust grower ; yields
bountifully ; berries medium to large, color, bright scarlet.
Parry. (Midseason.) A fine berry, uniformly large, firm.
Sharpless. (Midseason.) One of the most popular. Plant
exceedingly vigorous, very productive ; fruit large, crim-
son, firm and of good quality. Grand for market and home.
"The Gandy." (Late.) One of the best late Strawberries
ever introduced. Strictly fancy. The fruits are uniformly
large, perfect in form, and firm ; color, bright crimson and
as glossy as if varnished. Quality superb, delightful
aroma, suggestive of both strawberries and peaches.
Timbrell (P). (Late.) Called " The Queen of Strawberries."
Immense clusters of fruit of the largest size and delightful
flavor, rich, juicy and sprightly.

RATHBUN BLACKBERRY.
We are slow to
praise a new
fruit. New varieties appear so rapidly and are usually such
a slight improvement on the standard sorts that caution is
necessary ; but after a trial of this we are so impressed by
its great value that we unhesitatingly recommend it. No
matter from what standpoint it is judged it will bear the
most rigid inspection. The plant is very vigorous, branching
naturally, producing an abundance of fruiting canes and an
abundance of large, lusciousf ruit. It " suckers " but slightly,
the roots are strong and branching, penetrating deeply into
the soil, a valuable characteristic in dry seasons and loca-
tions. The fruit is very large and handsome, intense black
with a very high polish and without any hard core, juicy,
high-flavored ; of so superior a quality that it is in a class by
itself. Those accustomed to the old varieties would scarcely
recognize it for a Blackberry. For table use, for canning or
for culinary purposes it is equally desirable. It literally melts
in the mouth.
Price, 15c. each,
$1.50 per doz.,
