 PRIZE 

 TAKER. 



m New "flarshall" StrawQerry, 



(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 misshapen. The color is a rich glossy 

 crimson, that everyone admires— the surface 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 draught well. The large luxuriant foliage is sufficient to protect the blossoms from frost. °{See cut.)

75c. per doz.; $500 per 1 OO. 



MICHEL'S EARLY 



THE MARSHALL. 



(Bisexual. Extra early.) 



Michel's Early is the earliest variety of strawberry in cultivation that will produce a full crop of berries. On our 

 grounds, this late season, we picked ripe fruit on May 23d, or ahead of any other sort on the market out of nearly 200 

 varieties in our trial beds. 



The originator says this is the only strawberry entitled to be called u early" being two weeks earlier than any other 

 variety. It is a robust, strong grower, rooting deeply, and throwing large luxuriant foliage on long stems with never a 

 trace of rust or mildew. It yields bountifully, being as productive as the Crescent ; berries medium to large, handsome, 

 regular conical form, color light scarlet, flavor exquisite, pronounced by all who have tested it equal to that of the wild 

 strawberry. Michel's Early has an added value of being an early and long bloomer, and is a fine sort to pollenize early 

 pistillates. Price, (Pot-grown plants) 50c per doz ; $3.50 per 1 OO. 



Strawberry Plants mailed free at the dozen price, but to the 100 price, if desired, by mail, add 50c. for postage.
