This variety will also prove exceedingly valuable for early shiping. 60 c. per 100, $3 per 1,000. Brandywine.—Belongs to the Royal Family of strawberries. Superior in every respect. Pronounced by the most competent fruit men in the country to be the most valuable all round berry yet produced. It is very productive, very large, very brilliantly colored, perfect in shape, an excellent shipping berry and so well flavored withal that whoever buys and eats it will ask for Brandywine in the fu- ture. Its ability of both the plant and berry to stand drought is also most remark- able. A drought and heat that will bake many varieties as they grow, seems only to make it thrive the more. Ripens medium early. I feel no hesitation in saying to all who want one of the very best for any and every purpose, to eat, to sell, to show, to make your rival feel bad about, plant Brandywine. For it has been gen- erally tried and succesded everywhere. Having a perfect or double sexed bloom it does not need to have another variety planted with it to pollenize its blooms. It is capital to plant with West Lawn or other very large pistillates to pollenize the bloom. Blooming as it does very early and continuing in bloom very late every single pistillate bloom near it will be thoroughly pollenized. 6 0c. per 100, $4 perl,000, Lady Thompson.—This like the Murray and nearly every variety originating in North Carolina is exceedingly thrifty and vig- orous.
