SJS^Effit ries in the country. It is a variety that enjoys almost universal popularity. The plants are vigorous growers and make ample runners for a good fruiting bed. The fruit is of large size, rather light in color, and firm enough to stand shipment in good shape. The blossoms are imperfect and extremely hardy, which is an important point in some of the northern states. Among the very best varieties to plant with Haverland are Big Joe, Ekey, Senator Dunlap, Aroma, Three W's, Longfellow, and Twilley. Haver- land should be well mulched, as the fruit-stems are not able to hold the immense loads of berries off the ground. When given proper care, the bright red, juicy berries lie in great heaps around the plant. A field of Haverland properly cared for is a good in- vestment and we can safely say that no berry is more satisfactory to those who have tried it than the Haverland. It is a good one to tie to. Price, $ per 1,000. Helen Davis. This makes a strong, vigorous growth of plants. The berries hold up well after picking and the caps remain green and bright. T
