STRAWBERRY, WILLIAM BELT 
FARQUHAR’S ‘‘SELECT’’ VARIETIES (Continued) 
MEDIUM 
Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright 
red in color, firm flesh, red to the center and of rich spicy flavor. A 
great cropper, especially on heavy soils, holds its fruit well up from 
the ground and generally succeeds everywhere. 
Big Joe. A magnificent new Strawberry of robust growth and very 
prolific. The berries are light crimson in color, unusually large and 
of fine quality. 
Marshall. The fruit of this remarkable sort is of enormous size, of 
handsome 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 vigorous grower and requires good soil and high cultiva- 
tion. As it does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted 
extensively until its adaptability is ascertained. 
New York. One of the best sorts for Private or Market Gardens. 
The berries are large, of conical form; dark red; fine texture and of 
remarkable sweet flavor. 
MeAlpin. Very productive, and is considered by many growers to 
be one of the best of the newer introductions. The berries are 
scarlet in color, large and of luscious flavor.

Gandy. This popular old variety is more largely grown than any 
other late sort. It is large, well formed, deep red and agreeably 
flavored; requires a fairly heavy soil.

spicy flavor.

conical crimson fruit, extremely sweet and of delicious flavor.
