STRAWBERRIES-REPORT ON LATE VARIETIES. 



Fig. 871 —Aroma. 



Fig. 872.— Timbrell. 



I. Aroma (S).— A seedling of Cumberland 

 from Kansas, by E. W. Cruse. A good vigorous 

 grower ; no rust ; season of fruit late ; size of 

 berry large ; fine quality ; quite firm ; very good 

 color ; a good looking berry, and fairly produc- 

 tive ; keeps its size well to the last picking ; a good 

 pollenizer for large late pistillates. It seems to do 

 well in all soils and climates ; good reports come 

 from all quarters of the Aroma. The plant is 

 strong and very healthy. Third year of fruit- 

 ing. 



II. TimbPell (P). — A chance seedling from 

 New York, by H. S. Timbrell. The plant is a 

 clean, healthy, vigorous grower. No rust what- 

 ever so far. The season of fruiting is late to very 

 late. I picked Timbrells on July 24th, 1895 ; 

 fine, beautiful berries. The size is medium to 

 large ; the quality is of the very best, and quite 

 firm ; will carry wi;ll to market, and is very pro- 

 ductive. The only objection anyone could have 

 against the Timbrell here is its color; it is 

 mottled, red, pink and white, but the fine flavor of 

 the berry makes up for the color. It is a fine 

 berry : seems to stand the frost well. Second 

 year of fruiting. 



III. Woolverton (S).— A seedling, by Mr. 

 Little, of Ontario. The plant is large, strong and 

 healthy ; stands the hot, dry weather with the 

 best ; the season of fruit is late ; size of berry one 

 of the largest ; quality fair ; color dark crimson ; 

 it is firm for so large a berry, and productive. 

 Although the berry is among the late ones in 

 ripening, it is one of the first to bloom ; it is rich 

 in pollen, and so one of the very best to plant 

 with the large pistillates ; the flesh is white. It is 

 one of the best among the staminates. Fourth 

 year of fruiting.
