Sharpless — This variety originated in 

 Pennsylvania, and was introduced by 

 us fourteen years ago. We have fruited 

 it extensively ever since, and still regard 

 it as one of the very largest and best 

 strawberries in cultivation. Plant very 

 hardy, enduring both heat and cold 

 without injury here. To secure the best 

 results, we advise "hill culture." (See 

 "Directions for Culture.")
