 tending the strawberry season, -i t is-from 

 one to two weeks later than Gandy and is

STERLING. 



(^Mid-season: Pistillate.) 

 This is exceedingly popi lar with 

 some growers. It is a very large, fine 

 berry nearlyglobeshaped, rich, bright 

 red color. Very firm, of extra good 

 quality and delightful fragrance. We 

 have had beriies over six inches in 

 circumference. The plant is a large 

 leaved, strong grower, and generally 

 very prolific. We have counted over 

 200 berries to a plant. 7 he Sterling 

 combines in a high degree the good 

 points of a perfect berry. i^See ct4t,)

SAUNDERS. 



{^Mid~seaso72 : Bi-sexual.) 

 A new Canadian berry of great 

 value and promises to be a leading 

 variety. The plant is large aiid vig- 

 orous, free from rust, and is as healthy 

 and hardy as any ever sent out. It is 

 enormously productive. In this re- 

 spect it excelled all others on our 

 place last season, and was the wonder 

 of all who saw it. The fruit is VBry 

 large, flattened, conical, and often 

 has a depression on one or both sides, 



Itisde-p red, and remarkably glossy, g 



The flesh is of the same color, and 



has a sprightly, agreeable and spicy flavor. We have seen but one 

 defect in it so far^the verv largest specimens are sometimes mis- 

 shapen. The originator thinks the Saunders the most valuable of 

 all his seedlings, and he is a grower of great experience. {See cut.)

STAYMAN'S 



WONDERFUL. 



(Stayman's No. 1 .) 



{Pistillate; Late.) 



The new strawberry is most re- 

 markable for strong luxuriant growth, 

 frequently sending out runners 4 to 5 

 feet. The fruit stalks are heavy and 

 tall, sometimes attainmg 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 too 

 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 of any of the 

 many varieties he has growing imder 

 the same conditions. hi ighly en- 

 dorsed by Expei iment Station reports. 

 The berries are very large, mostly 



g lobed, brightest scarlet, dry and very 



solid. It fiuits late and comes into 



bloom after all others, when all danger of frost is over. It requires 



rich soil a-d good culture for best results.

VAN DEMAN. 



(NEW.) 

 {Bisexual; Ea7'ly.) 



This wonderful new strawberry originated m 

 Arkansas from seeds of Crescet.t crossed with 

 Capt. Jack. It has been thoroughly lested and 

 received the highest praise from a great number 

 of Experiment Stations throughout the United 

 States, establ shing the fact that it will succeed 

 over a wide range of country. The plants are 

 vigo-'ous growers and immensely productive 

 The fruit is large, exceedingly beautiful, of a 

 darkglossy crimson, very choice flavor and very 

 attractive. 7 he berries are cone shaped, very 

 regular and unifo'-m. Ripens extra early and 

 colors all over, perfect flower and valuable as a 

 polenizer for early pistillates. On account of 

 its vigorous growth, great productiveness, hand- 

 some and uniform appearance, with its early 

 ripening and large size, it has a brilliant future,
