The Four Most Promising 



n:ew strawbmrrijbs 



All in Strong Pot-grown Plants which will yield a full crop next June 



THE CARDINAL 



Tlie Cardinal. Late, pistillate. 



No strawberry ever sent out seems to have received the 

 endorsement of the leading experts so fully as The Cardinal. 

 They agree that it is as nearly faultless as a strawberry is ever 

 likely to be. The plants are strong, healthy and free growers, 

 the fruit stalks tall and stout, making the picking an easy matter, 

 berries of large size, perfect in shape and coloring and of delicious 

 flavor and aroma ; it has been tried over a wide area and seems 

 to do well ever}'where ; it was illustrated in colors in the Year 

 Book of the Agricultural Department, and a photo reproduction 

 shown in the Experiment Station Bulletin of its native State — 

 Ohio — unusual honors, which it seems to deserve. We have no 

 hesitation in recommending it for extensive planting. $i.oo per 

 doz.; 56.00 per 100. 



Abington. Mid-Season, Perfect. 



This new variety -which originated in Massa- 

 chusetts, and which has repeatedly won honors at 

 the exhibitions of the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Society, is acknowledged as a decided improve- 

 ment upon that popular variety Bubach, which it 

 promises to supercede. It ripens its bright red 

 berries, which are of large size and excellent flavor, 

 at the same time with the Bubach, continuing until 

 late. The berries are produced on stout, erect stems 

 held well above the ground. $1.00 per dozen ; 

 $6.00 per ICO. 



Goldsborongh. 



Early, Imperfectly Bi-sexual. 



Originated by A. T. Goldsborough, Washing- 

 ton, D. C, who began some ten or more years ago 

 a series of systematic efforts to produce from seed 

 a variety which should be ideal in both plant and 

 fruit. After seven years of endeavor he was re- 

 warded by the berry which bears his name. The 

 shape of the fruit is perfect, also the color, being 

 a waxy, light scarlet, with a deeper shade when 

 fully ripe. Its red pulp leaves a red juice in a 

 saucer like its wild parent in the fields. It is rich, 

 juicy, sweet and fragrant, requires no sugar, and 

 is the only early berry known which can be freely 

 eaten out of the hand. Some of the flowers are 

 perfect, others imperfect. Its dark foliage is so fresh and 

 green, its hidden fruit so red, glossy and sweet, that it is a 

 pleasure to work among the plants. It ripens a little later 

 than the first earlies. ^i.oo per dozen ; $6.00 per loo. 



St. LoniS. Early, Perfect. 



An exceptionally strong growing extra early variety, claimed 



to be the largest extra early yet produced, it having been grown 



so that twelve selected berries filled a quart basket. The fniit 



is of a bright flame color, firm and of high quality, and borne 



I on long, stout stems. Si. 00 per dozen ; $6.00 per 100.
