“OHUCKLESS” STRAWBERRY 
PICKS FROM THE PLANT HULLED READY FOR - 
- THE TABLE. a 
(Bi-sexual; early.) 
This is the most remarkable strawberry ever intre- 
duced, possessing the peculiarity of parting readily 
from the calyx or ‘‘shuck” which remains on the stem 
of the plant as the berries are picked. The berries are 
ready for the table as soon as picked, thus obviating a 
tedious and disagreeable task, a feature quickly appreciated 
by housekeepers. The plant is a strong grower, hardy, 
producing abundantly berries of very uniform shape and 
size and color, and of the best quality. Asa market berry 
it is said to be very salable, bringing more money per 
quart than others on account of its fine appearance. (See cut.) 
Price, (pot-grown plants), 25c. each; 3 for 60c.; 6 for $1.25; 12 for $2.00; 100 for $15.00.

(Bi-sexual: Extra carly to Midseason.) 
On poor soil and without fertillizer, it has given results surpas- 
sing all others by far, responding to good soil and culture as 
generously as any variety we know. In earliness it is second 
only to the ‘Crystal City,” and that little extra early sort being 
only two or three days in advance. In productiveness it excels all 
other varieties we have ever fruited, succeeding everywhere, even 
upon poor, light land. We do not claim for it mammoth size, but yj Uf

from first to last we have never seen a strawberry yield so much 
fruit, The agricultural papers and State Experiment Stations all 
speak highly of it. See cut. Price, (pot-grown plants), boc. per 
doz. ; $4.00 per 100. 
Matthew Crawford (July report), says: Noone will make a mistake in 
planting this variety, it seems to succeed everywhere, and is more remark- 
able for its many good foints than for any one prominent characteristic.
