 more of it than all other varieties combined, being satisfied that 

 it is the most profitable berry in his collection. Its chief points 

 of merit are extreme lateness, great prolificness, uniform large 

 size, long keeping qualities and succeeding on all soils. 60 cts.

Xetir York. Mld-Season, Perfect. 



Another extra large fruited variety that is very promising. 

 An extensive grov^er of strawberries says of the New York: 



"As fruited here the berries are large to very large ; season of 

 ripening, medium ; color, dark scarlet, changing to crimson 

 when fully ripe ; colors all over at once ; no green sides or tips ; 

 quality good. In growth of plant it is very large and stalky, 

 equaling in this respect the very largest ever grown, and for 

 health and vigor I have yet to see one that would surpass it." 

 50 cts. per doz.; ;?3.5oper 100; ^30.00 per 1000. 



Xick Ohmer. Mid-Season, Perfect. 



A great surprise is in store for all who fruit this strawberry for 

 the first time ; its mammoth size, beautiful color and great pro- 

 ductiveness being really astonishing. The plant is exceedingly 

 vigorous, with clean, healthy foliage, without the slightest ten- 

 dency to rust. The berries are of largest size — -a perfect giant 

 among strawberries — roundish-conical in form, uniform and 

 regular ; rich, glossy crimson, firm and solid, excellent in 

 quality, and average large to the very last picking. 50 cts. per 

 doz.; $3.50 per 100 ; J30.00 per 1000. 



President. I^ate, PlsUllate. 



A variety of New Jersey origin, introduced four years ago, and 

 which has given perfect satisfaction. The President leads all 

 other varieties in the development of fruits, every plant pro- 

 ducing large clusters, and better still seems inclined to perfect 

 and bring to large size every berry. The color is bright and 

 clear, the flesh firm and the seeds few and widely separated. 

 It is just now (June 12th) ripening, and therefore comes in with 

 such late varieties as Gandy. 60 cents per doz.; $4. 00 per 100 ; 

 ^^30.00 per 1000. 



S3>]IiplO« Mid-Season to Late, Pistillate. 



This is one of the few berries that has fulfilled every promise 

 made on its introduction and is now a standard variety in many 

 parts of the country. It seems to do well under all conditions, 

 a. strong free grower and producing seemingly impossible large 

 crops of perfectly formed bright red delicious fruit. You can 

 plant this in quantity without misgiving — it should be planted in 

 close proximity to a perfect flowering sort. 50 cts. per doz. ; 

 $3.50 per 100 ; $30.00 per 1000. 



SharpleSS. Mid-Season, Perfect. 



Though no longer the best berry that can be had, Sharpless 

 still has many friends who will have no other. This is strongly 

 illustrated in summarizing our sale of strawberries. We find 

 that up to within a few years back that Sharpless was the variety 

 we sold the greater quantity of, and even now it holds a good 

 second place. It is doubtful if there is anything of better flavor 

 on the market. 50 cts. per doz. ; $2 50 per 100; $30.00 per 

 1000. 



The Virginia. Extra Early, Perfect. 



This is one of the earliest varieties to ripen and for an extra 

 early produces fruit of an unusual uniform large size. It is 

 of an attractive bright red color, appearing as if varnished, 

 a strong, vigorous, healthy grower. 60 cents per dozen ; 

 $4.00 per 100 ; $30.00 per ico 



'William Belt. Mid-Season, Perfect. 



We give the introducer's description of this fine strawberry ; 

 " William Belt is now generally conceded to be one of the great 

 berries. For vigorous growth, great productiveness, size, 

 beauty and fine quality it is one of the very best. It is grown 

 by the acre for fancy fruit, and is generally mentioned in con- 

 nection with the Marshall. The first berry to ripen on each 

 fruit-stalk, under high culture, is apt to be cockscombed ; all 

 others are of regular form. It is bright glossy red, the ideal 

 color for a strawberry." 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100 j 

 1 30. 00 per 1000.
