3/6 APPENDIX. 



thus describes it : " Plant a- rank, vigorous grower, clean 

 foliage, and very productive. Berries large, obtuse conical, 

 bright glossy scarlet, firm, and of the best quality, ripening all 

 over at once. Blossoms perfect." 



Dr. F. M. Hexamer, editor " American Garden," also speaks 

 highly of it, as follows : " The Parry has proved quite satis- 

 factory on my grounds. The plants are very vigorous, healthy, 

 have wintered well, and have yielded an abundant crop of large, 

 handsome berries." It is also strongly praised by many other 

 authorities, and has received many premiums. 



Jersey Queen. — The plant is strong, stocky, and vigorous, 

 but only moderately productive; the fruit large and beautiful. 

 It must have high culture, and not be allowed to run, or it is not 

 satisfactory. Pistillate. 



Henderson. — Said to be moderately vigorous, producing 

 handsome fruit of exquisite flavor. Early and perfect in 

 flower. Not yet generally tested, but probably one of the best 

 for amateurs. 



Daniel Boone. — " Produces good crops ; fruit of large size, 

 attractive in appearance, medium quality, rather soft, and late in 

 ripening; plant hardy and vigorous." — Charles A. Green. 

 Farther south and on light soils the foliage is said to blight. 

 Pistillate. 



Dollar. — "For beauty, firmness, and high quality has but 

 few equals, but the foliage blights so badly at Monmouth as to 

 greatly impair its value. However, it blossoms and fruits quite 

 profusely in the autumn, giving us strawberries when other 

 patches are bare of fruit. Perfect in flower." — J. T. Lovett. 

 If the tendency to autumn bearing is so great as to enable us to 

 secure a fair crop of berries in late summer and fall this variety 

 is a valuable acquisition. I shall certainly give it a fair trial. 

 Farther north and on heavier soils the foliage may be entirely 

 healthy. 



Cornelia. — Highly praised by some, and declared to be un- 

 productive by others. It undoubtedly requires high culture and 

 runners clipped. With such treatment it promises to be one of 

 the best late berries. Pistillate. 



Crystal City. — Said to have been found growing wild in 

 Missouri. I have fruited it for years, and have ever found it
