756. Good Luck (Fig. 205). — Growers agree that Good Luck 

 ranks among the best new late strawberries. Its IVuits are 

 distinguislied by flesh so firm tliat they are 

 liardly surpassed in standing transportation. 

 Anotlior outstanding character is that the 

 plants are not susceptible to leaf-spot. The 

 fruits are large, handsome, and very good in 

 quality, having sprightliness and a most 

 distinctive flavor. A little too acid for des- 

 sert, canned or cooked, the berries are hardly 

 surpassed in flavor. The calyx is large, leafy, 

 and a beautiful green. Good luck origi- 

 nated with Elwood Pedrick, Cumberland

757. Haverland (Fig. 296). — For many j^ears Ilaverland was 

 considered one of the best strawberries, and 

 is still in gardens in the northeastern states. 

 The berries are too soft and light in color for 

 distant markets, but are often grown for near 

 markets where the variety proves profitable 

 because of great productiveness. The crop 

 ripens over a long season. The variety has 

 the reputation of being very hardy, and its 

 blossoms are said seldom to be injured by 

 frost. Haverland originated in 1882 with B. 

 H. Haverland, Cincinnati, Ohio.
