STRAWBERRIES.-Con^mwed. 



MEDIUM. 



Brandywine. A large heart-shaped berry, perfect in form, bright red in color, firm flesh, red 

 to the centre and of rich spicy flavor. A great cropper especially on heavy soils, holds its 

 fruit well up from the gromid and generally succeeds everj'^uhere. 



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 poUenize 

 the pistillate sorts. 



Mark Hanna. P. An exceedingly proHfic variety ripening in midseason. The berries are of 

 enormous size, attractive in color and of splendid 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 cultivation. As it 

 does not tlirive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively until its adaptability is ascer- 

 tained. 



New York. One of the best sorts for private or market gardens. The berries are large, of 

 conical form; dark red color, firm texture and of remarkably sweet flavor. In the market they 

 sell at sight. 



Pride of Cumbepland. The plant is a vigorous grower and free from rust, and ripening about 

 one week earlier than Gand}*; it is nearly as large, equally firm, as good a color, thriving in 

 either liigh or low land, but owing to the immense crops it sets, the ground should be well 

 fertilized to ensure best results. 



LATE TO VERY LATE. 



Belmont. This ol 1 favorite is still considered by many to be the finest late berry. The 



fruit is of handsome appearance and keeps well. 

 Chesapeake. The plants of the Chesapeake are large and vigorous with rich dark green foliage. 



The fruit is of large size, deep red in color and of a rich aromatic flavor. 

 Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing large conical, deep crimson 



fruit, sweet and of quahty equal to the well-known Bubach. Not only an extra large berry, 



but also very productive, of deep rich color and solid. It is smooth and quite juicy. 

 Gandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry growers. It is more largely 



grown than any other late variety. On sandy soils it is unproductive. 

 Minute Man. P. A very producti^•e sort, of fine quality. 

 New Home. .\s late and large as Gandy, fruit a bright red color that does not lose its lustre 



and turn dark for a long time after being picked. It is a vigorous grower, and, unlike Gandy, 



will produce a large crop on either high or low land. 

 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 bright, glossy, deep red; 



season as late as Gandy. 

 Stevens' Late Champion. A new variety of the Gandy tj'pe, jnelding large crops of 



beautiful berries very late in the season. 



ALPINE VARIETY. 



Large Red Alpine. No one who has eaten the delicious little strawberries of the Alps wil 

 ever forget their delicious aromatic flavor. We are now able to offer this large fruited variety 

 of the Alpine strawberry. Per doz., SI. 00 



NEW EVERBEARING STRAWBERRY. 



Pan-Amepiean. A variety of recent introduction producing berries of fine flavor throughout 

 the summer and fall. The plant is of compact, vigorous growth, and apparently free from 

 rust. When late fruit is desired it is better to pinch off the first flowers, and also keep the 

 runners cut, which will give vigor to the later crop. 20c. each; .S2.00 per doz; .S14.00 per 100. 

 Ready August 1st. 



ENGLISH VARIETIES. Per dozen, $1.25. Ready Aug^ust 1st. 



British Queen. A popular English variety producing large. conical, pale red berries. 

 President. The fruit is crimson in color and of superior flavor; good for forcing. 

 Standard. Very early, small, dark-red berries of fine flavor; forces well. 

 Duke of Edinburgh. Late. Fruit irregular, but otherwise similar to British Queen.
