DWYEE'S GUIDE. 



Nick Ohmer (Perfect Flowers). — The fruit is of the very largest 

 size, a giant among strawberries. It is never misshapen. Its only de- 

 parture from the regular roundish conical form is when, under high cul- 

 ture, it is somewhat triangu- 

 lar. It is dark, glossy red, 

 firm and of excellent flavor. 

 A superb, handsome, large 

 fruit of the very finest flavor. 

 Should be in every garden 

 where size, color and high 

 quality are the first consider- 

 ation. It ripens in mid-sea- 

 son and continues a long 

 time in fruit. 



Oom Paul (Perfect Flow- 

 ers). — Origin of parentage 

 Jessie and Bubach. Stupend- 

 uous in size and delicious in 

 flavor, nice shape, elegant 

 color, shipping the best. The 

 plant is a very rank grower 

 Another strong point in favor 

 ■ of Oom Paul is that the last 

 picking never runs small. 

 Berries are very large, round- 

 ish, conical; color glossy 

 crimson. It is a wonderfully 

 productive strawberry, and 

 ripens early in the season. 

 Desirable for market and the 

 home garden. 



Parker Earle (Perfect Flow- 

 ers). — The plants of this 

 variety are exceedingly 

 rank growers, with a tend- 

 ency to make enormous stools. It has perfect flowers and good sized 

 fruit, rather long, with short neck, firm, of good color and fine quality. 

 It is one of the few varieties that is adapted to a wide range of country, 

 and thrives well in so many different soils and climates. Ripening quite 

 late in the season, it should be known as a late berry. When grown un- 

 der high culture good for market purposes. 



President (Pistillate). — The plants are strong growers, producing 

 an abundance of thick, leathery foliage, dark green in color, and standing 

 very erect, and a thick, stocky fruit stalk. It is very prolific and brings 

 the last berry to perfection. Ripens the last of May and continues a long 

 time in fruit. In size it averages with the largest berries grown, and is 

 absolutely uniform in shape, the berries being almost round, and free 

 from unripened or gnarled ends. The flesh is firm and solid, without 

 hollows or pithy cores. The color is a rich crimson. Valuable for all 

 purposes; must be planted with a staminate variety. 



Wm. Belt (Perfect Flowers). — The plant is very large, a most luxuri- 

 ant grower and remarkably productive. It is medium in ripening — 

 neither very early or very late. Its size is very large indeed. No other 

 variety ever gave us so many immense berries. The color is a brilliant 

 glossy red. It ripens all over without green tips. The quality is of the
