ENHANCE. — Plant vigorous; dark green foliage. A 

 profitable berry for market, and worthy of trial for

 Edgar Courow, Moorestown, N. .1. : " My best berry next

 nia : " Will plant Enhance again." 50 cents per dozen ; 

 $4.00 per 100 ; $30.00 per 1000.

 with May King, Sharpless, or some other comparatively 

 early perfect-flowered sort. $1.00 per dozen ; $6.00 per

PARKER EARLE.— A most wonderful producer, 

 having yielded at the rate of 15,000 quarts to the acre. 

 It succeeds everywhere under proper treatment. Berries 

 are long, conical, regular and uniform, glossy red in 

 color, and of good quality. The variety is of Southern 

 origin, and, although it bears dry weather well, its best 

 and most prolific results are obtained under high culture, 

 rich manuring and irrigation. The plant usually sets 

 more fruit than it can possibly perfect except with a 

 copious water supply. ''First choice" of Mr. Albert 

 Atkinson, of Three Tuns, Montgomery county. Pa., in 

 our recent canvass. 50 cents per dozen ; $3.00 per 100 ; 

 $25.00 per 1000.

 borne upon long, strong stalks, well above the ground. 

 " Best when fully ripe," says Mr. Rudolph Bingh.am, 

 of Camden, N. J. Mr. Edwin Satterthwaite, the 

 leading grower of Eastern Pennsylvania, has fifteen acres 

 of Gandy strawberries on his farm at ..Tei\kintown. It is 

 his leading berry at this time. Under his high culture it 

 is a money maker. Walter Yahn, market gardener, Olney, 

 likes Gandy best. 50 cents per dozen ; $3.00 per 100 ; 

 $25.00 per 1000.
