Eleanor. All we claimed for it in beauty but has 



proved a disap- 

 pointment in earli- 

 ness and produc- 

 tiveness with us at 

 Monmouth the past 

 season. We may- 

 add it was the most 

 unfavorable year 

 for strawberries 

 we have ever 

 known ; a very dry 

 autumn injuring 

 the blossoms of all 

 varieties, followed 

 in spring by con- 

 tinued dr}^ weather 

 and excessive heat 

 from early May to 

 the end of the fruit- 

 ing season. The El- 

 eanor, we regret to be obliged to state, suffered greatly 

 — more in fact than most varieties — and we cannot 

 recommend her until by good behavior in the future, 

 she shall have redeemed her character. Doz., 25c; 100, 

 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



Enhance. A most profitable market variety and ad- 

 mirable for home use, yielding splendid fruit in great 

 abundance. The plant is a strong vigorous grower 

 with superb foliage, arid is exceedingly productive 

 under fairly good culture. Fruit is lai'ge, rather irreg- 

 ular in shape, dark crimson, moderately firm and of 

 excellent quality. It has many enthusiastic friends 

 and is really a first class strawberry. Midseason to 

 late. Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00. 



Of remarkable productiveness, being excel- 

 led by few others in 

 this respect; it sets 

 fully as much fruit 

 as does the Parker 

 Earle. The berries 

 are large, crimson, 

 very firm, and of 

 excellent quality. 

 In firmness and 

 ability to hold up 

 well in shipping it 

 is one of the best, 

 and market grow- 

 ers will find it un- 

 surpassed for ship- 

 ping to distant 

 markets. The plant 

 grows well and is sti'ong, robust and healthy. It is to 

 be recommended for its productiveness, firmness and 

 general adaptability to all soils, whilst its good quality, 

 partaking somewhat of the wild strawberry fiavor, 

 increases its value for home use. Early. Doz., 25c. ; 

 100, 50c.; 1000, $3.00. 



GTeenville (P). Large, showy and productive, but 

 like other similar varieties requires rich soil for best 

 results, under which condition it gives splendid returns. 

 It somewhat resembles Bubach being of vigorous plant 

 and producing large berries not very firm, bright crim- 

 son, of very good quality, fine appearance, and sells 

 readily at sight, consequently a profitable sort to grow 

 for a nearby market. The plant is large and robust 

 with healthy, clean foliage. Midseason. Doz., 25c.; 

 100, 50c.; 1000, $3.50. 



Gardner. 



Doz. 



Gandy. One of the best of the late strawberries, its 

 only fault being 

 a lack of produc- 

 tiveness, and 

 even this is reme- 

 died by making 

 the soil rich. The 

 berries are large, 

 very uniform, of 

 bright crimson 

 color, handsome 

 and showy, firm] 

 and of good qual-| 

 ity. The plant isj 

 a strong, vigor- 

 ous grower with 

 clean healthy fol 

 iage. I s lateness 

 in ripening and 

 handsome ap- 

 pearance causes 

 it to sell well in 



market and it is equally desirable for home use. 

 25c.; 100, 50c.; 100 , S-IOO. 



Haveriand (P). The great productiveness of this vari- 

 ety renders it exceedingly profitable for a local or 

 nearby market, and also desirable for the home garden. 

 The plant is a strong grower with good foliage and the 

 fruit is large, long, of a bright, glossy crimson, good 

 quality and moderately firm. On strong, heavy soil 

 it will give great satisfaction and yield large crops of 

 fine berries. Early. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c.; 1000, $3.50. 



Henry Ward Beecher. Firmness and large size are the 

 leading charac- 

 teristics of this 

 choice variety . It 

 possesses a plant 

 of more than or- 

 dinary sturdiness 

 and vigor with 

 unfailingly heal- 

 thy bright foli- 

 age; on good soil 

 is very produc- 

 tive. The berries! 

 are large, richW 

 dark crimson, 

 firm and high 

 quality. For can- 

 ning it is one of 

 the best, retain- 

 ing its form per- 

 fectly. Midsea- 

 son. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c. 



Iowa Beauty (Childs). A beautiful berry of uniform- 

 ly perfect shape and good size. Large, brilliant crim- 

 son color, as glossy as if varnished, firm, and of the 

 highest quality. The plant is of vigorous though not 

 rampant growth and yields abundantly. We give it our 

 unqualified commendation to those seking choice fruit. 

 Midseason. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c.; 1000, $3.00. 



Jucunda Improved. Those who remember the old pop- 

 ular Jucunda or Knox's 500 will find in this a great 

 improvement on that favorite variety, the plant being 

 far more vigorous and enduring, with fruit equall}^ as 

 fine. The berries are large, firm and solid, rich crim- 

 son, sweet and very good. Midseason. Doz., 25c. ; 100, 

 50c.; 1000, $3.50. 



1000, $3.00.
