R. & J. FARQUHAR & CO.’S MID-SUMMER CATALOGUE. | 3 
. POT-GROWN STRAWBERRY PLANTS — Continued. 
MARSHALL, S. 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 isa 
vigorous grower, and requires good soil and high cultivation, As it does not thrive in all soils, it should not 
be planted extensively until its adaptability is ascertained. 
MILLER, S. This new sort has the vigor of Marshall or Nick Ohmer. Like these it is popular for exhibition 
purposes, and has been awarded many prizes for excellence, The berries are very large, bright glossy red. 
and of regular, roundish-conical form. The flesh is solid, light salmon in color, and of delicious flavor. 
MINUTE MAN, P. This is a most valuable addition, inasmuch that z¢ dears abundantly longer than any other 
American Strawberry. The fruit is of medium size, roundish and slightly shouldered, bright scarlet in color; 
sweet, firm, and without a core. One of the best for private gardens. 
New York, S. One of the best sorts for private gardens. ‘The berries are large, of long, conical form; dark- 
red color, firm texture, and of remarkably sweet flavor. Midseason. 
Nick OHMER, S. Second early, very productive sort, and one of the best for forcing under glass. Berries large, 
shining, dark red; excellent flavor. It is a strong grower, and succeeds best on rather heavy soil. 
PARSON’s BEAUTY, S., A splendid new sort resembling the old Wilson, but larger, ripening very early. It is 
very productive of delicious dark-red berries. An acquisition both for home and market use. 
SAMPLE, P. This fine variety, which is of Massachusetts origin, is probably the most widely grown of all Straw- 
berries for market use. It yields enormously, and the fruit is of large size, long conical form, bright red 
color, and with firm flesh, of good flavor. 
SENATOR DuNLAP, S. A leading Massachusetts grower pronounces this ‘‘the best early berry yet grown.’’ 
It seems to thrive in all kinds of soil, bearing great crops of large, dark-red berries of fine quality.
