market at the very close of the strawberry 

 season. The berries are liked by canners and 

 for culinary purposes in the home. The plants 

 require moist, heavy, clay soils to produce 

 sufficiently well; they should be fruited but 

 one season. Gandy originated with W. G. 

 Gandy, Newport, New Jersey, in 1885. 



Perfect. Plants vigorous, low, spreading, somewhat 

 susceptible to disease, productive, make runners freely ; 

 fruit-stems long and prostrate ; calyx large, easily de- 

 tached. Fruit late, large, globose-conic, irregular ; color 

 deep crimson ; flesh firm, late, brisk subacid ; quality 

 good ; core hollow ; seeds numerous, raised. 



GLEN MARY. Once widely and com- 

 monly grown, Glen Mary is still prized in 

 New York and New England for its exceed- 

 ingly productive vines and its handsome, 

 well-flavored fruits. Several faults mar the 

 variety: the fruit-stems are too slender to 

 hold the fruit off the ground; the foliage is 

 susceptible to leaf-spot; the plants thrive 

 only on very heavy and enriched soils; and 

 the blossoms are not entirely self-fertile. The 

 variety originated with J. A. Ingram, East 

 Bradford, Pennsylvania, in 1896. 



Partially perfect. Plants rather small, spreading, 

 fairly vigorous, somewhat susceptible to rust ; runners 

 moderate ; leaves small, leaf-stalks slender ; fruit-stems 

 slender, long, prostrate ; calyx of medium size, flat, 

 often discolored. Fruit midseason, medium to large, 

 conic, sometimes necked, irregular ; color dull crimson 

 often with white tips ; flesh red, rather soft, subacid ; 

 core solid ; quality good ; seeds large, raised. 



GOLD DOLLAR. Unprofitable elsewhere 

 for home pr market, Gold Dollar is one of 

 the leading early varieties in Oregon. Both 

 vines and fruit please the Oregon growers. 

 The variety originated in Oregon about 1906 

 and rapidly found favor. 



Perfect. Plants vigorous, fairly productive, healthy, 

 make runners freely. Fruit early, medium to large, 

 globose-conic ; color dark crimson ; flesh rather soft, 

 red to the center, mild subacid ; quality only good.

GOOD LUCK. Fig. 302. Growers agree 

 that Good Luck ranks among the best new 

 late strawberries. Its fruits are distinguished 

 by flesh so firm that they are hardly sur- 

 passed in standing transportation. Another 



outstanding character is that the plants are 

 not susceptible to leaf-spot. The fruits are 

 large, handsome, and very good in quality 

 for those who like a sprightly strawberry, 

 having, besides sprightliness, a most distinctive 

 flavor. A little too acid for dessert, canned 

 or cooked, the berries are hardly surpassed in 

 flavor. The calyx is large, leafy, and a beau- 

 tiful green. A defect in the variety is that 

 the apex colors slowly, so that the fruit must 

 be picked carefully to avoid green tips. Plants 

 of Good Luck must not be set closely, as 

 they develop many runners. Good Luck 

 originated with Elwood Pedrick, Cumberland 

 County, Maryland, in 1904. 



Perfect. Plants numerous, large, vigorous, healthy, 

 very productive ; leaves medium in size and thickness, 

 with crenate margins ; leaf-stalks long ; flowers medium 

 in season of bloom ; fruit-stems long, thick, semi-erect, 

 branching. Fruit late ; large, retains size well to close 

 of season, distinctly wedge-shape, with some cockscombs 

 in the first picking ; calyx large, attractive green, often 

 surrounded at the base by small, fleshy protuberances ; 

 apex a pointed wedge, inclined to green tips unless 

 picked with care ; color attractive, medium red ; flesh 

 well colored to the center, juicy, firm, sprightly ; good 

 in quality ; seeds both raised and sunken. 



HAVERLAND. Fig. 303. For many years 

 Haverland was considered one of the best 

 strawberries for home use, and is still to be 

 found in gardens in the 

 northeastern states. The 

 berries are too soft and 

 too light in color for 

 distant markets, but are 

 often grown for near 

 markets where the va- 

 riety proves profitable 

 because of the great 

 productiveness of the 

 plants. The crop ripens 

 over a long season. The 

 variety has the repu- 

 tation of being very 

 hardy, and its blossoms 

 are said to be seldom 

 injured by frost. Hav- 

 erland originated in 

 1882 with B. H. Haver- 303. Haverland. 

 land, Cincinnati, Ohio. (X%) 



Imperfect. Plant large, upright, vigorous, healthy, 

 very productive ; leaves abundant, light green ; runners 

 lew ; fruit-stalks rather short, often too weak to hold 

 up the fruit. Fruit midseason, medium to large, long- 

 conic, sometimes necked, light scarlet ; flesh light red, 

 medium firm ; core pink, solid ; flavor mild subacid ; 

 quality good ; seeds numerous, large, raised. 



JESSIE. This old variety is little grown 

 now in any part of the United States except- 

 ing near Sacramento, California, and even 

 there is being discarded. It thrives in any 

 rich soil and under high culture. The variety 

 originated in Janesville, Wisconsin, with F. W. 

 Loudon, in 1880. 



Perfect. Plants vigorous, healthy, large, with many 

 runners. Fruit midseason, large or very large, usually 

 wedge-shaped, sometimes furrowed ; color variable rang- 

 ing from light to dark scarlet ; flesh light pink, mod- 

 erately firm, juicy and aromatic ; quality good.
