No. 5.—The huge size, splen- did color, immense and unfailing pro- ductiveness, ability of both plant and berry to pass unharmed through a drought that would destroy rrany other varieties, must long keep this the leading medium early pistillate berry for both home and market. Till you see the ripe Bubach, Brandy- wine and West Lawn piled like huge rubies under the foliage of splendid dark emerald green, you don't know what a strawberry really is. Like them, too, it has a vigorous root growth that runs downward and outward in all directions, enabling it to search out and find nourishment if there is even the smallest quantity in the soil. Like them, too, it thrives on all soils, from almost all sand to stiffest clay. If you want a never-failing supply of the finest berries plant Bubach, Brandy- wine and West Lawn. In this, as in bubach, no. 5. all other varieties that I have had long enough, I have bred up the variety by repeatedly and carefully selecting the most productive individual plants to raise plants with which to set my young fields. Therefore I have pedigree plants of the purest strain. A market grower or gardener by setting out Improved Westbrook and Murray's Extra Early pollen- ized with Meek's Early for the early kinds, Bubach and West Lawn pollenized with Brandywine for medium early, and Aroma and Gandy for late, will have berries as early and as late as it is possible for the strawberry to grow, and have the best that skill and nature has so far produced. Thus the gardener can feast on berries for many weeks, while the market grower can grow and pick a much larger acreage with the same picking force. For the early berries will so far ripen and get out of the way of the medium early, and the medium early out of the way of the late kinds as not to interfere. Price of
