Philadelphia, June 21, 1895. J. G. Harrison & Sons:—We are in receipt of yours of the 20th, note what you say in regard to the Lady Thompson strawber- ries which we have handled quite largely for the past three years and pronounce them an excellent berry in every respect, as they are usually of good size, a good shipping berry, and usually sell for 5c to 15c per quart more than any other berries arriving at the same time. Yours truly, Redfield & Son. Fasson, N. C, June 25th, 1895. Gentlemen:—The whole berry crop was be- low the average, but I still consider the Lady Thompson far superior to any other variety. Its yield was at least a third more than that of any other variety both as to quantity and price. Respectfully, J. S. Westbrook. Washington, D. C, June 22d 1895. Dear Sir:—Your card received, in reply will say we handled Lady Thompson berries this season, they were solid and sold well. Yours truly. E. J. Adams & Co. New York, N. Y., June 24, 1895. Messrs. J. G. Harrison & Sons:—Replying to your favor of the 20th inst. will say that we handled a great many Lady Thompson berries from North Carolina at the close of the season, we had some excelled any we had in the market at that time and their average was almost equal to that of 1894. The Lady Thompson, in an ordinary season, not alone in a favorable season is about as good a berry for shipping as there is
