 surface. Blossom imperfect. 



— Tippecanoe. Allen, Md. 



This is a selection from several hundred seedlings grown from seed 

 produced in France. The plant is equally as hardy as any of our 

 American strawberries, of very large size and wonderfully robust 

 and strong, producing a large number of strong runners, which set 

 plants rapidly. Quite productive for so large a variety, producing 

 on the same ground fully double the yield of Sharpless or Cumber- 

 land, even late runners bearing large trusses of fruit. Fruit large 

 and beautiful. It is of a most beautiful globe shape, with now and 

 then a flattened berry. The flesh is highly colored. It ripens with 

 the Cumberland and stands the drouth well. The flavor is rich and 

 delicious, a characteristic of all French berries. Staminate.
