HAWERLAND. Early, Pistillate. 
A vigorous plant of the Crescent type. Must be fertilized 
with some perfect flowering sort, as Clyde, May King or Sharp- 
less. Fruit stalks long. Enormously productive. Berries 
medium to large, of pale scarlet color, of good flavor, and so 
extremely prolific and showy that the Haverland is a wide

MARSHALL. 
This is one of the finest berries, all things considered, now 
before the public. It is so well and favorably known that it is 
almost useless to describe it. The plant is large and stocky, 
a vigorous grower and a good bearer. It has rusted sometimes, 
and the number of berries on a plant is not so large as on many 
other sorts, but if counted in quarts it is productive. It is the 
earliest of all the very large varieties, and it usually matures all 
The berry is very large, of regular form, dark glossy 
red, very beautiful, and of fine quality. There is no other va- 
riety in the market to compare with it in its season. It is the 
great berry in New England, and has captured most of the 
prizes at the great Boston show for years. No careful grower 
who takes pride in his berries can afford to leave out the Mar- 
shall. 50c. per doz.; $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1,000.

PARKER EARLE IMPROVED. 
Mid-Season, Perfect. 
Seedling of Parker Earle, which it very clearly resembles, ex- 
cept that the plant makes runners rather more freely, does not 
stool up so heavily and is more productive; the berries have 
shorter neck and are better flavored. J. L. Arnont, the origi- 
nator, picked 11,968 guarts from two acres at one picking, which 
was the third of the season. A wonderful yielder, but like the 
original Parker Earle, must have deep, moist soil and heavy 
manuring to show grandest results. 50c. per doz.; $300 per

fruit large to very large, regular, deep, dark red clear through; 
retaining its rich color when canned; superb in quality, abun- 
dantly productive. Prof. Green, of Ohio Experiment Station, 
says: ‘‘ The fine color and firmness of Ruby command a place 
for it anywhere.” 60c. per doz.; $4.00 per 100; $30.00 per 
1,000. 
SHARPLESS. 
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 sales of strawberries. For a 
number of years back we find that up to within three years 
Sharpless was the variety we sold the greater quantity of, and 
even in the past three years it has held a good second place. 
Even now it is doubtful if there is anything of better flavor on

OUR ADVICE. 
Place chief reliance upon Standard varieties of known excellence, but do not be afraid to test 
the newer varieties. There is no better pleasure in Strawberry growing than in selecting the prizes 
from the ripe fruit of the test-bed.
