 " The Hid well i> of great promlaa, even from the lata potted plants put out in August." 
 May 30, 1881. " Hun. Marshall V. Wilobi."^ 
 
 "The Bidwell, thua far, promises to ciuite fulflf Ihe expecUtions I- had formed of it. At thia 
 lime it promises tu yield a larger crop of fruit than any other variety I have in my collection. 
 It is of HO g<MKi a <|ualitv tlut I hui>e it may prove to be adaple«i tu generarcullivation; which it 
 now wems to promise, lor my soil, comparea with yours, is vary light."

 " Tha Bidwall Strawberry looka better than anything cflae on my place." 
 
 . "Pbtbr Hbndbbsom." 
 
 "My pTanti of Bldweil promUe to excel In productiveness anything I have seen, the Crescent 
 mmT excepted." 
 
 May 30, 1881. ' / "J. T, UvBTT." 
 
 "The coming farmer's berry. I do not think that I have seen any varietv ihat promiws to fill 
 the bill ui well for general cultivation. Its flavor will suit even the most fartidious, and under 
 oidinary cultivation it is enormously productive. It will average as large if not larger than the 
 Sharpless, and the plant ia a very vigorous grower." ~ 
 
 "D. A. A. Nicuota," 
 (one of thi^^itMS of the Comntry GtmtiemaM.) 
 
 "The Bidwall Strawberry as grown at Cornwall seems to me fully as prolific as the Crescent 
 and Wilson ; is of much larger size and, and far auparior in quality. If it succeeds elsewhere 
 as at Cornwall I believe it will be the bes^strawberry for general cultivation of any variety now 
 mown." 
 
 , "H. B. ELLWAKoaa," 
 
 (of the firm of Ellwangar & Barry.) 
 
 "' I am creatly obliged to you for givin||| me an opportunity to ihspect your beds of the Bklwell 
 ' ^trawlMify. 1 am familiar with the various kinos of strawberries that, have been introduced 
 within the past fifteen years and never have yet seen a more promising varietur. The delicious 
 flavor of the fruit, its large size, rich color, firm flcshi, earlineas and productiveness, combined 
 with its hardiness and vigorous grow^, cannot Gail to make it one of the most popular varietiea 
 for the market. No one will ever grow a Wilson afler having tested the Bidwell, and should it 
 succeed as well in other localities as in your own, it will take the place of many other varieties 
 now grown by market-gardeners, as Well as by piivate growers." 
 
 ♦* . "Truly youra, B. K. BLISS," 
 
 (well-known New York Seedsman.) 
 
 It moat b« rememberad that thia variety ia now pretty well dtaaeminated in the Statea 
 and it ia not in Ij^r. Koe'a place alone that it haa anown ita merita : from Mr. Lyon in 
 ita Miohi^n home— from New JenKSy aanda and Oonnectioat Valley loam— from atiff 
 clay, and gravelly and aandy loam in New York State— eome the aame aaaurancea of 
 ita value. How it will do throughout Oanada remaina yet to be folly aeen, but oonaid- 
 ering the auperior reaulta of Strawberty Culture in thia country, it ia only JFair to ezpeot 
 well of it everywhere that a Btrawbeny can be grown, and any fruit grower that doea 
 not give it a tnal will mdce a aeroua miatake.

 A foctheg digWB— will dowhtlMe mpfm in th« berriM being ■lightly laigar rad the 
 bvikeh bremfiiiff Mmewhat eoudfer. The qndity ia stated to be aS/like Conoord as 
 pMrihfe) felt thai fe where CoMOrd ripena to ita ftiU meaanre of aweetneaa: here we 
 ahoal4 fnbably tad it aaoth better in niaeaeaaonaoatof ten. Even in New York oity, 
 a raUbbfe hortfeoHiiriBt veoeatly atatod that he parohaaed a bunch of Mooie'a which 
 ha eonti tad no OomnhnU in OMurket to equal— either in siaa of berry or in quali^. 
 That rOiabfe anthori^ on the vin*-0. W. Oampbell of Ohio— apeaka of it aa ^better 
 than the Hartford or l^dmaa (Champioa), which hare bean tolerated by a mnoh suflbring 
 peopfe, oofy on aooonnt of thoir oo«<merit of earlinaaa. " The Champion or (Talmra) haa 
 been for three or four veara greathf praiaed for its earHnaaa. It waa even sent out with 
 great feodation aa tha BeaeoMaeld, but it ia greatly inferior to If oore'a Barlr in aiie 
 and appewaaoe, aa w«Il aa in qoaUty ; therafotw, aa the Moore ripena aa early, it ia a pity 
 to act oat Ohampioa any UMTS where tn Moore will atand the olimate. Aa the Champion 
 howvrer, auiy be alightly hardier, I olbr it for the benefit of Mmitoba cuatomera. 
 
 Pricea— MooBB'a Bauy, 60 oenta each, |6 per doten free by mail, for good 1-yeu 
 Vinea; ferger l.-year Vinea by expreaa at aane price. 
 
 Ohampioit, one year Vinea at same rate aa Worden. 
 
 two II aania price aa Moore's Early. 
 
 I duMld state here that I hafO teated the fcait of Champicm on my own grounda and 
 ahawhaM, and have fruited sUditly the Wbrden, but haye not yet tasted the Moore'a 
 larly. Ilie Champion bunch ia <mly about half the sijw of Conoord, and the berry 
 abont tw^thirda tha aiae— on myfrSanda, only about half the aize df the the Worden. 
 It doea not taate ao bad, wh«n yon can't get raything elae; but jnat put it in yoas

 feifer in both berfey rad boneh, rad .tasted rery good indeed. The skin is too tender 
 to ship far; and where the anianMni are long enough to properly ripen the Concord, the

 givea them a very attractive appearance. The fleah is meaty, quite free from pulpiness, juicy, 
 sweet, and having a most delictoos spicy flavor. It is the nearest approach to the lona of any 
 grape I have tasted, which ia the highest praise that I call posiibly bettow. There ia no 
 RniiMH wl^tever. no tough pulp, in short nothing to detract from iM excellent quality. It ripo»!« 
 a very few day* after the Conoord. iHit so few that it will dowbtfeas succeed where the Concord

 terms put cow manure on sandy aoiln, and home manure .m heavy land ; but )m« it on, 
 -of whatever kind, on any soil. Best success with manure is tu be attained by usiiij,' 
 it only when well rotted, if plants are ifT Ihj set immediately ; or, if mther fresh, by letting 
 it have time to rot' in the ground befoi-e planting; or by Jetting it partially or tw.roughly

 about midsummer. Wo<kI ashes and bono Ami are most excellent for all kinds <.f fruit 
 -eaiiecittlly strawberries and gi-apes. Stable manure is wanted least of all by grapo 
 vines-if abundant, and esi^ecially if fresli. the vine will make a soft tender growth and 
 the fruit will pn.bably rot. The Delaware peihaps can stand rich ground bent «»f all.

 CONCLUDING WORDS. 
 
 And now veader, I liave done my best to tell you about the best varieties and how to 
 succeed with them, it will need no labt.red explanation frt)m me to assure you that it 
 Gosti money and time t«» get np a pamphlet like this; and if you have received any 
 benefit fr(nn it, is it not fair that you should help ttefray tho cost '. ()ld customers will 
 need no request to buy again -tlieii- order* will begin to come in within a week. But 
 you may never hav»? bought plants in this way, and ni*y perliai>8 be suspicious ftponi 
 past experience with tree and plant agents. N«iw I ask you to consider the advantage 
 of dealing di«ect with a man who, aS far aa possible, grows the pL^nts sent out, and so 
 feels a direct i-espons1bility for the quality of the stock, and to give me a trial order of 
 at least fl~jmlg»ngn»e thereafter by the character of niy plants. ... .. 
 
 Thus awaiting your esteemed commands, and wishing yon a season of cultivation rich 
 with the results of God's own glorious sunshine, and refreshing rams, I remain 
 
 Your obedient servant,
