J offered this variety in 1910, but as I had never fruited it, could not say very much per- - sonally as to its qualities. After fruiting it for two seasons I am prepared to say that it is one of the largest berries that we are growing. The berries are of a beautiful, glossy red color, good quality and productive. The plants make a healthy, strong growth, with plenty of plants. I see no reason why this would not become a popular standard variety. I picked a number of quarts where twenty-seven filled a basket heaping full. I do not know much about the history of this berry further than that it hails from Virginia and seems to be a strong competitor to the Gandy. It commences to ripen a few days earlier and continues to bear after the Gandy is gone. I would advise you not to fail to include this in your list. 25 cts. per doz., 40 cts. for 25, 60 cts. for 50, $1 per 100, $ for 250, $3 for 500, $5 per 1,000 Gold Dollar. Vigorous, healthy growth, pro- ductive of medium to large, round, highly colored and highly flavored berries. Mr. W. T. Allen of Brownsville, Oregon, a grower of this variety, wrote us that "The plant bears early and the berries are large in size for so early a berry. As early as Michel's Early and about the same size as Wilson's Albany. Quite ; Goldsboro. Perfect blossoms; foliage strong, vig- orous, thick, leathery and glossy. A good grower and productive of large, handsome fruit; very smooth and glossy; fine quality, especially recommended for home use or near market. A good, handsome berry that will make your mouth water for it and not disappoint you when you eat it. Too soft for dis- tant shipment. Governor Rollins. Originated in Massachu- setts by Benjamin H. Smith and
