lOO STRAWBEHRV GROWING IN NKW HAMPSHIRE 



DESCRII'TIVE NOTES ON POPULAR VARIETIES 



Beverly (perfect flower). — Medium to large fruit, of good 

 form and color. Plant vigorous, heavy foliage, and sets many 

 runners. The berries are large at the beginning of the season, 

 but do not seem to hold out well. This variety is very well 

 known by all growers in the state. 



Bra7tdy-vine. — This is a perfect flowering variety, which 

 seems to be gaining favor wherever it has been thoroughly tried. 

 On our grounds during the past season it proved to be one of 

 the best^iedium to late sorts. The general opinion of growers 

 is that akhough it does not excel in productiveness, its other 

 good qualities make it valuable. While it does not yield as 

 heavily as some of the medium early varieties, it equals the late 

 sorts, and surpasses most varieties in size, color, and general 

 appearance. Tlie plants are very vigorous, large, set plenty of 

 runners, and fruit freely. The berries are very large, and of 

 regular, broad, conical form ; bright glossy red in color, which 

 extends to the center ; flesh firm and excellent in quality. The 

 fact that it is a perfect flowering variety together with tl-re other 

 good qualities named gives it a prestige which renders it 

 worthy of a general trial. 



Brunette (perfect). — Large, healthy leaves, but sets few 

 plants. Berry, medium to large, uniform and regular; color, 

 dark red ; form, conical to roundish ; season, second early. 

 Not very productive this season. 



Bubach (pistillate). — This variety is considered very valu- 

 able and is commonly grown. The objection to it is that it 

 sets few plants. Where given the best of attention it responds 

 liberally. It is well adapted to hill culture. The berry is 

 large, broad conical and sometimes flattened in form ; color 

 scarlet, fair quality, season medium. 



Clyde (perfect). — A promising new variety. It showed up 

 well in the test this season ; plants vigorous ; berries medium 

 to large, fairly firm, good quality ; form, conical regular, uni- 

 form ; color, light scarlet with a whitish center. Leaf medium ; 

 sets many runners, makes a well formed matted row, and is 

 little troubled with blight. Foliage stands erect; berries are 

 about tlie riglit size, maintaining it throughout the season.
