A large, showy berry, that will certainly bring rich returns to those who will give it the treatment it merits. It somewhat resembles Bubach, being of vigorous plant, and bearing a large berry, that is none too firm for shipment ; but it is a profitable berry to grow for a nearby market, and will give good returns under liberal treatment. The berries are large and fine, bright crimson in color, and of excellent quality ; it is only moderately firm, but of fine appear- ance, and sells readily at sight. The plant is large, robust and productive, with healthy, clean foliage. It is much better than Bubach in quality, and rather firmer in flesh ; a decided improvement. Midseason. RIO. Early, good size and firm. No new variety has been tested over such a wide region, and from every point comes the most flattering reports—from Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Utah and California. Bloom perfect. Good pollenizer for early pistillates. TIMBRELL. (P.) The undoubtedly high merit of this new variety renders it a welcome acquisition and it is almost certain to take a prominent place among the standards if it behaves in the future so well as it has done so far. The plant is a thrifty, strong grower, with rank, dark foliage, and a heavy yielder ; the fruit is large, round, symmetrical, and uniform in size and shape, dark crimson in color, high-flavored, firm, and bears shipment well It is one of the highest in quality of any of the very large berries, and is likely to be largely in demand for the family garden. Its large size and productiveness render it one of the most desirable and profitable. For fancy berries it has few equals. Sea- son late
