^-^^New Strawberry No. 12. 



TWO CROPS PRODUCED IN ONE SEASON. 



FOR several seasons past our attention has been called to a Strawberry which made its appearance in the New 

 York market in September^ and we were at first loath to believe that the fruit could be obtained under natural 

 conditions at that season of the year. Investigation, however, showed that such was the case ; the fruit was 

 picked in the open field from the same plants that produced a bounteous crop in June. The only special cultivation 

 given was to manure the beds after the crop was picked, and the vigor of the variety is such that it responded at once 

 and produced a paying crop, not for one season alone, but for three seasons. The vigor of this variety is marvelous. 

 Last season, during the long dry spell, it grew continuously, never showing the slightest tendency to rest while 

 standard varieties in the same field ceased growing and rusted badly, another proof of its wonderful vitality— the 

 secret, we believe, of its ability to bear a second crop. The fruit is very large, glossy crimson, of delicious flavor, and 

 a great point in its favor is that it is very easily hulled. It is a perfect flowered variety. Price (including privilege of 

 suggesting a name, see conditions belowj 3 plants, for 25c; 12 for $1.00; 25 for $2.00; 50 for $3.75; 100 for $7.00.
