Its characteristics are thus given in Green's Fruit Grower : "This is a self-fertilizing strawberry, possessing all the desirable peculiari- ties of Bubach No. 5. To those famil- iar with Bubach nothing further need be taid, since Bub. ch has been a favor ite berry, and more plants have been planted than of any other. Bubach had two defects which Bismark cor- rects. Bubach is pistillate, requiring other varieties to be planted near it, while Bismarck is self fertilizing. Bubach, while of good quality, is not of the highf st character. Bismarck is of better quality. 40c per 100, S2 per 1000. Bush Cluster—This is Mr Bauer's latest berry. Berries grow in clusters so high up as to remind one of a bush fruit. The plant reminds us of Parker Earle, same large crowns and plants with unusually high growing leaves and fruit stems. No blight has yet made its appearance. Seems to have the good qualities of Parker Earle without its faults. Ripens early. Price 40c. per doz., 75c. per 100, s5 00 per 1000. Emperor (Per)—Originated by the late John Little, of Canada Described by M. Crawford as follows: The plant is large and stocky, a vigo ous, healthy grower, and a very abundant bearer. Tiie b srries are ery large quite regular in form, exc pt that some of the first to ripen are c jrru/at d, but nev^r cooks- combed. The c lor is dark, rich red, and exten Is well to the center The flesh is firm and of very good flavor, Season medium. It is a good berry for any purpo-e. Mr. Little considered this the best he over produced, and I am con- fident that it wi l be an acquisition $1 per Dozen; $o per hundred. Empress (Per)—Describe
