“You will find this the most beautiful berry you ever 
saw.’? Comparatively new and therefore not an experiment but 
a grand success; a berry of great beauty, averaging extremely 
large and bountifully prolific; color varnished scarlet and of splen- 
did quality. 1t commences to ripen with the mid-season varieties 
and continues to bear until very late. It has been extensively 
tested by prominent horticul- 
turists and at State Experiment 
stations and all endorse it with 
the most flattering reports. 
Totestits fruiting capacity 
in the matted row system plants 
were placed as close as they 
would grow; the resulting crop 
of berries were producedinsuch 
heaps and piles that many 
people came to see the wonder- 
ful sight. 
Plants are vigorous; will 
stand heat and drought well.

to late.) 
This remarkably suc- 
cessful new Strawberry 
has proven equally fine 
with all who have grown 
it, and is esteemed of 
greater value each year 
asitripens. The berries 
are large to very large, 
of globular mould, remarkably_ regular and uni- 
form in size and shape, of excellent quality, quite 
firm, and of the most vivid scarlet imaginable— 
the fruit as seen among the foliage reminding one 
of glowingembers. Itripensearly to mid-season, 
holding on lateand maintaining a good size to the 
end. Its cardinal virtues are, however, strong 
robust plants, great beauty, large size and won— 
der ful productiveness, rendering it a most profit— 
able variety for market and equally desirable for 
rep, 
CANDY’S PRIZE. 
(Bi-Sexual: late.) 
The best Za¢e strawberry ever introduced. Although compara- 
tively new its great merits have been quickly recognized by fruit 
growers all over the country as the choicest late sort. The fruits 
are uniformly large and perfect in form or firm; color bright crim— 
son and glossy as if varnished ; it has a large 
bright green calyx which greatly adds to the 
beauty and the quality is all that can be desired, 
giving out a most delightful aroma suggestive of 
both strawberries and peaches. It ripens from 
late to very late. ‘The plants are very vigorous 
growers. In well fertilized soil this berry is a 
big yielder.

ww (Pistillate: late.) 
ie f The new Strawberry is most remarkable for 
strong luxuriant growth, frequently sending 
out runners4tos feet. The fruit stalks are 
heavy and tall, sometimes attaining a height 
of 12 to 14 inches, holding the berries up 
better than any other variety we know of. 
A plant frequently produces 12 to 15 stalks of 
fruit averaging 100 to 150 berries to the plant. 
In vigor of growth and productiveness it is 
simply wonderful, In the grounds of the 
originator it produces fully double the quantity 
the home garden. We have great confidence op 
in the Shuster, it has such pronounced char— 
acteristics that it can hardy fail to adapt itself
