Dr. Burrill ^° ^^® ^''* ^^^^^^l ^^'® have a mid-season variety bound to be a 

 money-maker for strawberry growers. It is a scientific cross 

 of Senator Dunlap and Crescent, and all of the splendid qualities of these two 

 famous and popular strawberriers are embodied in this one great variety. In 

 plant growth Dr. Burrill is a marvel. Its long and heavy root system makes 

 it a perfect drought resister. Its foliage is large and of a beautiful dark green. 

 In production of fruit Dr. Burrill surpasses either of its parents. The berries 

 are large and beautifully formed. The surface of the berry is a deep glossy 

 red. The meat is solid and rich. As a canner it surpasses Warfield, which 

 up to fhe present time has held the leading place as a canning berry. In flavor 

 it is milder and more delicious than Senator Dunlap. The berries are excellent 

 shippers and splendid keepers. The calyx is a bright green, and the seeds are 

 yellow, making a beautiful color combination. An ideal berry for either home 

 use or for the market.
