NOTES ON VARIETIES OF STRAWBERRIES. 



I OU will find enclosed some short notes on a few varieties with outline 

 of berry taken from actual specimens. I have a number of others, 

 but cannot lay my hand on them. In making those outlines typical 

 berries were used, not monstrosities but berries that would give a 

 good idea of the general shape of the variety. I might have got 

 larger specimens of all the varieties, but they would not have been 

 types of the variety. I have made preparations to make outlines of 



all the best varieties the coming season, will then furnish you with others. 

 I, — Haverland (P). A variety originating in 



Ohio. This is one to grow enthusiastic over. It is 



one of the best, if not the best of all ; when one 



sees the ground covered entirely with fruit, from the 



first of the seasDn to the very end of it. The origin- 

 ator may well be proud of it. It is magnificent in 



its foliage ; most numerous in number of runners, 



enormous in quantity of fruit. The fruit is large to 



very large. Its only fault is, it is somewhat soft ; of 



fair quality. It is certainly a berry for the home 



grower, and near market. Perhaps not suited for 



long distance shipment. Color rather light. As a 



producer of fine large berries nothing else with us 



equals it. It gives large fruit to the end of the 



season, and is one of the first ripe. 



II.— Bubach (P). Originating in Illinois. Here 



is another grand standby. The foliage is all any 



one could wish for, both in thrift and color and 



health; not a trace of rust; it makes runners fast Fig. 781. -Haverland.
