He originated, jointly with Mr. James Nimon, the now famous Parker Earle strawberry, a berry regarded, all things considered, as the most valuable grown in the United States. While Prof. Munson is doing an extensive business in the general nursery line, he is more widely known as a specialist in the improvement of American grapes by hybridizing the best selections of the leading American species, seeking to obtain more valuable varieties for each distinct climatic regions. His "Brilliant" species in the Kansas City market this year brought from 5 to 10c a basket more than the Delaware. Prof. Munson, in his work as a nurseryman, is bringing to Denison much praiseworthy notoriety.
