PRIZE 
TAKER. 
THE. 
NEW 
"Marshall" Strawberry. 
{Bisexual. Mid-season.) 
14 
BERRIES 
..to a.. 
QUART. 
THE berries are very beautiful and average extraordinarily large— often 14 fill a quart measure. As an exhibition 
berry and for home use it is peerless — it captures the prize wherever exhibited almost without exception. It is the 
first of the extra large varieties to ripen, and although of great size the fruit is rarely ever mishapen. The color is 
a rich glossy crimson, that everyone admires— the surtace color running well into the flesh, and the quality is far above 
the average. As to productiveness, it will not yield as large a number of berries as some varieties, but when measured in 
quarts or bushels, will be above the average. The plant is faultless, a strong grower, often standing 20 to 22 inches high, 
rooting deeply and standing drought well. The large luxuriant foliage is sufficient to protect the blossoms from late frosts. 
PRICE : {pot-grown plants.) 75c. per doz., free by mail ; $5.00 per 100, or by mail $5.50 per 100. 
Question : " Mr. Dwyer of all the berries what do you select for your own eating ? Answer : MARSHALL, though if 
J had a patch of Ti7nbrelts near the house it might be an even thing between them, but the Marshall is a grand berry— on June 
spd we were still picking them after 25 days of fruiting— it is large of fine color and excellent flavor, and as it grows here it 
is an ideal berry" From the Rural New Yorker, July 20th. 
QUART BASKET OF TIMBRELL PHOTOGRAPHED FROM NATURE. 
TIMBRELL. -The Queen of Strawberries. 
( Pistillate : Late.) 
. , The Timbrel! is considered by many eminent authorities as the best strawberry in existence— it certainly is the best 
late pistillate, and seems perfection in every way— it is destined to become wonderfully popular when further disseminated 
as reports trom those who have grown it, enthusiastically praise it. The magnificient berries are borne in immense 
clusters otten 2b to 30 berries to a stem, and are of the largest size and delightful flavor, rich, juicy and sprightly ; by 
some tnougnt the finest quality of any strawberry in cultivation. In shape nearly round and generally very symmetrical, 
very solid and meaty ; color, very dark crimson, a little patchy at first, but when fully ripe, a solid crimson ; those who 
nave the means of knowing say that it will endure more wet weather without injury and will keep longer before or after 
picking than most varieties : it is very late in blooming, and, in consequence, the flowers are not liable to injury from late 
trosts. 1 he fruit also ripens very late. The plants are pictures of health and strength and vigor, and are so distinct that 
they can be picked out of a hundred varieties at a glance. u On account of the Timbrell being a pistillate variety it should 
Have some late flowering bisexual sort, such, as Brandywine, Yale or Gandy planted every third row to pollenize the blossoms." 
PRICE, {pot-grown plants), 75c. per doz., free by mail ; $5.00 per 100, or by mail, $5.50 per 100. 
" ^ is eatable of learning that the mottled color of the Timbrell is a trade ?7iark of the best quality and that Timbrells 
once eaten, Timbrells are wanted airain." Rural New Yorker, July 20th.
