crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It is one of the best midseason berries, either for private

not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively until its adaptability is ascertained.

very large and of rich luscious flavor. Very productive. 14.00 per 100.

FALL-BEARING STRAWBERRIES.

 bearing until frost. To get the best results for a late crop, the blossoms must be carefully kept off 

 until July, or the plants will completely exhaust themselves before fall. If the runners are kept cut 

 during summer it will give additional vigor to the late crop.

gi-owers to be one of the best perpetual-bearing strawberries. The fruit is rich and sweet, a
