and fine quality. 
Exeelsior. This is decidedly the best early strawberry and the earliest 
good strawberry. The fruit is of round conical form, glossy, dark-red 
color, and of mildly acid flavor. 
Suburban. This berry is exceedingly productive, thriving well on light 
land, and is considered one of the best new sorts. Fruit large, conical, 
firm and of good flavor. 
SECOND EARLY. 
Glen Mary. Large, conical, bright red berries; fine flavor. 
Senator Dunlap. Mr. Crawford, at the time of its introduction by 
him, said that he doubted if he had ever sent out a berry better than 
Senator Dunlap. It will keep in fair condition for several days on the 
vines after being ripe enough to pick. The fruit is large, rich and dark 
red clear to the centre, with a very rich flavor.

Barrymore. This fine Strawberry was awarded a Silver Medal by the 
Mass. Hort. Society in 1908, for its excellence. The plants are of strong 
srowth and very productive. The conical shaped berries are of medium 
size and of a dark, glossy, crimson color; the flesh is a rich red and very 
juicy. 
Big Joe. A magnificent new Strawberry of robust growth and very pro- 
lific. The berries are light crimson in color, unusually large and of fine 
quality. 
MEDIUM. 
Golden Gate. A strong growing variety bearing rich crimson fruit 
without green tips and with quality similar to the Marshall. It blooms 
early and late, making it a good variety to pollenize the pistillate sorts. 
Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of hand- 
some, glossy dark crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It is one of the 
best midseason berries, either for private use or market. It is a vigor- 
ous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation. As it does not 
thrive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively until its adapta- 
bility is ascertained.

sidered by many growers to be one of the best of the newer introductions.

Bubach. Not only an extra large berry, but also very productive, of 
deep rich color, solid and quite juicy. 
William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the 
list. The berries are as large, with some specimens larger than the 
Bubach. Its color is a glossy, deep red; late as Gandy.
