ATKINSON, Three Tuns, Pa. HAVERLAISTD (P)—A vigorous plant of the Crescent type. Must be fertilized with some perfect flowering sort, as May King or Sharpless. Frait stalks long. Enor- mously productive. 'First choice decidedly,' says William G. Embree, a West Chester, Pa., grower. Ber- ries medium to large, of pale scarlet color, not of best flavor, but so extremely prolific and showy that the Haverland is a wide favorite for home use or market. Its merits as a cropper make it one of the most profitable sorts. 50 cents per dozen ; $ per 100 ; $ per 1000. GREENVILLE (P).—The picture of this fine berry is from a photograph of a box from the patch of Mr. Albert Atkinson, of Three Tuns, Montgomery countj'. Pa. The plants are thrifty, and this year's crop was very satisfac- tory. Greenville bore the honors for productiveness at the Pennsylvania Agricultural Experiment Station in 1895. Fertilize with May King, Sharpless or other rather early perfect-flowering variety. 50 cents per dozen ; $ per 100 ; $ per 1000. TENNESSEE.—A new berry of great promise. A seedling of Crescent and Sharpless. Perfect flowers and vigorous plants. Very productive. Size medium to large. Bright scarlet berries of fine quality. Season early to medium, like its parents. Suited to both family and market. Thrives on light soil. 75 cents per dozen ; $ per 100. TtMBRELL (P).—In the section of country tributary to the Philadelphia market the Timbrell is not a favorite for commercial purposes, but we commend it to private gardeners who can give the plant high culture and extra good treatment. It has in many places made a fine record for size and productiveness, but its greatest feature is the flavor of its fruit, which ranks with the best. Fer
