(Pistillate Midseason.) 
18 Berries to a Quart. 
Named by the Minnesota Horticultural Society, (in 
whose state it originated) and at the same time it took 
first prize over fifteen other new seedings. It has in- 
variably taken prizes wherever exhibited. In Mr. 
Kramer’s, the originator’s grounds, a strip 33 ft. long 
by 5 ft. wide, when visited by the State Experiment 
Station’s representatives yielded at that picking 61 
quarts, and by actual count three of these quarts con- 
tained 18, 20 and 22 berries respectively. At the next 
picking this same strip yielded 25 quarts, and this record 
was by no means the best. This new seedling 
‘*Princess,”’ is one of the best strawberries that has ever 
come to our notice. The plants are hardy, vigorous 
and enormously productive. It roots deep and stands 
drought well. The berries average very large some 
having been produced over 6 inches in circumserence. 
It is uniformly perfect in form, ripens all over at once 
and holds up its size well to the end of the season, and 
its quality is excellent. It is certain to be 
one of the best market varieties ever intro- 
duced, its strong points being wonderful 
productiveness, enormous size and attractive 
appearance.—(Sze cut.) Price, (potgrown

In M. Crawford's July 1892 rep=rt, 
he says:—Princess, another year's 
experience convinces me that this ts 
one of our gost valuable varieties. 
It ts enormously productive and 
very large. I doubt if thereis a 
better sort in the country. 
The Editor of the ** STRAWBERRY 
CutterRist’’ April 1893 issue, writes: 
—Of the new varieties, none seem so 
universally popular asthe Princess. 
I picked last spring from young 
plants of this variety, berries that 
were so large, that 25 to70 would ' 
_ fill a quart basket. This berry 
will prove a valuable addition.” 
YALE. 
(Bi-sexual: Very late.) 
plant vigorous, a heavy bearer, fruit of 
good shape, large and round ; color deep dark red running through the flesh ; 
very solid with all of the seeds on the surface. In quality it 1s 
superior, sprightly, delicious and a great favorite for table, 
market or canning. One quart will impart a rich color to four or 
five quarts of any other. It is perhaps our best late variety, add- 
ing ten to twelve days to the season. (See cut.) Price, (pot-grown 
plants), 75c. per doz. ; $5.00 per 100.

son scarlet, of fine quality and ripens all over. Plant isa tall, 
robust grower, great runner, vigorous and very productive.

A very late variety of great merit. 
Red to the 
core.
