DR. BURRILL-The million dollar strawberry 



ST. MARTIN 



NEW YORK, This is the strawberry that 

 was awarded a prize of $100, which was awarded 

 for the best and largest variety. The plant is an 

 unusually robust grower, making but few run- 

 ners, throwing its strength and vigor into the 

 magnificent berries, which are produced in great 

 abundance and are of immense size. In form they 

 are very handsome and regular, of a medium 

 conical shape. Color a crimson-scarlet, dark, 

 rich and inviting, coloring all over and leaving 

 no green tips. The flavor is deliciously rich and 

 melting. For a fancy strawberry it is one of the 

 best, but its large size and delicate texture would 

 possibly prevent the berries from arriving in good 

 condition in distant markets. This berry is so 

 popular it has been introduced under many 

 different names. 



PARSON'S BEAUTY. One that may be de- 

 pended upon to produce a large crop of fruit 

 every season. The plants are splendid growers 

 on any soil and without a sign of disease. The 

 fruit is large, conical, uniform shape, dark red 

 and fair quality. Largely planted by commercial 

 growers on account <^^ its vigor and productive- 



SHARPLESS. An Old and well-known berry, 

 especialy desirable in home gardens. Fruit large 

 and of excellent quality. 



SAINT MARTIN. This variety originated with 

 Louis Gratou, of Tompkins County, N. Y., sev- 

 eral years ago. It has been thoroughly tested out 

 and proven its great worth. For several years 

 it has captured the first prizes at the annual 

 strawberry shows of the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society in Boston. The plants are large 

 stocky growers, of the Marshall type, very sturdy 

 and productive. The berries are very large, firm 

 and hold their size better than most other va- 

 rieties until the end of the season. The berries 

 are rich clear through. This variety is destined 

 to be the most popular variety for fancy trade and 

 with those who appreciate quality and know what 

 really fine strawberries are. 



SENATOR DUNLAP. The Dunlap is a variety 

 that beginners who know practically nothing about 

 strawberries can succeed with. The foliage is 

 tall, upright with a long leaf, and has more than 

 the ordinary power of developing a heavy crown 

 system. It has an extra long tiowering season; 

 the bloom is handsome and exceedingly rich in 

 pollen, which makes it very valuable to plant with 

 such pistillate kinds as ripen in its season. Its 

 long roots go down into the sub-soil for moist- 

 ure, and a severe drought has less effect on it 

 than most others. The fruit is a dark red, with 

 a glossy finish, shading to a dark scarlet on the 

 under side, with prominent yellow seeds that look 

 like gold embedded in highly colored wax. The 

 meat is bright red all through and exceedingly 

 juicy. For a medium size, very productive, mid- 

 season berry, don't hesitate to plant Dunlap. 



RYCKMAN. Said by some to be the best mid- 

 season to late table and near-by market berries. 



SUCCESS. One of the finest early berries for 

 the home garden ; large, sweet and delicious. 



THE "BEST." A large grower in New York 

 State has the following to say about the "'Best." 

 "This variety is by far the best strawberry that 

 has ever fruited ou our grounds. This is saying 

 a good deal, for we have been growing strawberries 

 for nearly thirty-nine years. It is no experiment 

 with us. as we have tried it under all conditions, 

 on all kinds of soils and under different treat- 

 ment for at least ten years. The plants are model 

 growers, very vigorous and stalky. None more 

 productive. The berries ripen very late, almost 

 the latest of all. coming just at the time when 

 the last strawberries bring the best prices. The 

 berries are very large, glossy and attractive, have 

 fine flavor and when once sold to a customer they 

 bring a demand for more of the l)erries. The 

 fruit is very solid, firm and a good shipper." 

 He goes on to praise it miuli more, but I believe 

 the above is sufficient recommendation for us to at 

 least give it a trial. 



For home use or for market Premier is the best early
