WILD/VOOD BUSTER. —Of Canadian origin and is said to be a cross of Sharpless and Bubach. As stated in previous catalogue, my attention was first called to this variety during the spring of 1906. when a late, heavy frost killed almost all other ber- ries. Buster gave us a full crop. It is very vigorous and healthy, having a luxuriant, dark green foliage that detles a reasonable amount of dry weather. The fruit holds up large all through its long season. This is a good, reliable variety that I would advise my patrons to plant. I would not advise, however, that it be planted on thin, sandy land, as it will not do its best on such soil, but on good, medium, heavy soil it will please you from th • time it starts to grow after you have set the plants until yon have har- vested your crop. It is large in size, bright red in color, firm, medium quality and medium to late in ripening. The blossoms are pistillate, Iff extremely hardy. I especially recommend this berry to tl who admire the Bubach type. One customer says : "We cannot speak too highly of the Buster : it i« one of the finest berries we have ever ; Another "The Bust r seems to be the best of all. It made a very fine growth and se«ra< to stand th" dry ?:• than any of the others" Another customer says : "I got Buster plants from you two years ago when you were out of Bubach.
