(Very Late — Perject Flowering.) 



This most valuable very late strawberry was raised by a gentleman in Massachusetts, and is the result of his eflort to 

 produce a berr>' which would perceptibly lengthen the strawberrj' season. In the " Commonwealth " we have a berry as 

 large as the largest — as productive as any of the large fruiting varieties, and as fine flavored and juicy and as dark colored 

 as any strawberry- grown. The berries of the largest size are broadly cone shaped and quite smooth; moreover it is very 

 late. On the 17th of July as good berries were picked from it as earlier in the season; the last berries were picked July 22 

 (Marshall, McKjnley and Glen Mary grown side by side with it being gone). The plant is a good strong grower — hardy, 

 shows no sign of rust, and bears a strong staminate blossom. It is exceedingly productive. The Massachusetts, Horti- 

 cultural Society awarded the " Commonwealth " strawberry first prize over all competitors.

NEW STRAWBERRY SUCCESS. 



New Strawberry, "20th Century." 



(Midseanon — l-'istillate. ) 



This new strawberry produces mammoth berries of broad 

 — almost kidney shape — Ijeing vvider thaii long — with a 

 blunt ape.x. It is not unlike in form and color the famous 

 old Jersey (^een, but is much superior to that variety. 

 The crowning merits of " 20th Century " are uniform size 

 and shape, smooth surface, never cockscombed nor ridged, 

 immense size, dark crimson color, and of sweet delicate 

 flavor: plant of moderate growth and fairly prolific. Under 

 high culture ten selected Ijerries will fill a quart.

New Strawberry, "Success." 



{Early to Mid-season — Perfect Flowering.) 

 This new early fruiting strawberry is one of the most beau- 

 tiful as well as the earliest largcbcrry we know of, and al- 

 though early it holds out well through the strawberry season, 

 bringing every berrj' to perfection; the last berries coming in 

 with the later varieties and almost as large as the first borne. 

 The berries are of large globular form, slightly conical, and 

 of a light bright scarlet; the flavor being always fine, mild, 

 sweet and rich. They are a little soft for shipping, but this 

 fact emphasizes their superiority for the home garden. The 

 plant is a vigorous, strong grower, free from rust and abun- 

 dantly productive. We unreservedly recommend it for the 

 home garden.
