Crawford's Half-Dwarf
This variety is now grown more extensively than any other by the market gardeners who supply the New York City markets, and is the kind found on the tables of all first class hotels. When blanched it is of rather a yellowish-white, and is entirely solid, possessing the nutty flavor peculiar to the dwarf kinds, while it has much more vigor of growth, surpassing most of the large-growing sorts in weight of bunch, when grown under the same conditions.

Incomparable Dwarf Crimson
A dwarf-growing, rich-colored variety; very crisp eating and of delicious flavor. The flavor of the red varieties is thought by many to be superior to the white, and within the last year or two much larger quantities are being raised than heretofore. The red varieties undoubtedly keep better through winter, and this variety, all things considered, is probably unsurpassed.
