Glen Mary. This new Strawberry is the best berry for large size, good 
quality and large yield that has ever been offered to the American 
people, and in these three respects we believe it has no equal. We 
especially recommend it for the home garden and nearby market. In 
productiveness it is unsurpassed. In size the berries average extra- 
ordinarily large; in shape the berries are broadly heart- 
shaped; color, dark glossy crimson, fairly firm and of 
excellent quality; plant strong and healthy.
