MAGIC GEM-The gem of perfection 



3IAGIC GEM. A mid- season to late variety 

 originated by Edward Vance, of Idalio. Because 

 of the unusualy large size and high quality of 

 the berries and its long fruiting season, Mr. Vance 

 has controlled the strawberry trade in his local 

 market. The berries are not only large and 

 abundant, but they also are beautifully formed 

 and are distinctly cone-shaped. The berries are 

 highly colored, being dark red with a glossy sur- 

 face, and bright yellow seeds which are embedded 

 in the surface just deep enough to produce a 

 l)eautiful contrast. The flavor of the fruit is 

 mild and delicious. The calyx is a dark, rich 

 green, which adds to the beauty of the berry. 

 The berries are very firm and ship exceedingly 

 well. 



McKINIiEY. Unrivalled as a strawberry of 

 endure shipment. It is pre-eminently a variety 

 for the home garden. 



MARSHALL. Too well known to need any 

 extended description. This is a berry that has 

 been so popular in the New England market for 

 years, where the grocers are always delighted to 

 get it on account of its rich dark red color, that 

 it is bound to attract and please customers. It 

 is one of the richest flavored strawberries grown- 

 It is a strictly fancy berry. Mid-season. 



MISSIONARY. A variety that is proving very 

 popular all through the South. It is a strong 

 grower, making plants freely ; early to mature, 

 coming in right after Excelsior, and very pro- 

 ductive. The berries are well colored, firm, large 

 and hold their size well throughout the season. 

 It is a good shipper, having a tough skin not 

 easily broken by handling. 



MITCHELL'S EARLY. An old favorite and 

 still a favorite with many.
