Glen Plary (P). For choice, extra fine berries, good 

 quality and productiveness this is surpassed by very 

 few, and it gives splendid retm'ns for extra care and 

 culture. Berries large, bright glossy crimson, and so 

 handsome as to bring the highest price in market ; 

 moderately firm and fine in flavor. The plant is vigor- 

 ous and healthy, very productive, and the berries 

 maintain their large size until the close of the season.

Haverland. A strong grower, yielding an abimdance 

 of large, long berries, of a bright glossy crimson ; good 

 quality, but only moderately firm. On strong heavy 

 soil it will prove very profitable for nearby markets, 

 and is alwavs desirable for the home garden. Earlv.

bright color, large. 



Its large yield, firmness of flesh, 

 uniform size of berrv. and fine 



quality combine to make it one of the most profltable 

 market strawberries I have ever grown, and also verv 

 desirable for the home supply. It resembles Chas. 

 Downing somewhat, but is larg'er and firmer, whilst its 

 abundant, clean foliage is never affected bv rust or 

 scald. The berries are bright crimson in color, retain- 

 ing their fresh appearance for a long time. May be 

 depended upon for a crop under all conditions, llid- 

 season. Doz., 25c ; 100. 50c ; 1000. 83.00. 

 Lovctt. One of the most profltable berries for mar 



ket by reason of its

 long keeping pro] er- 

 ties. Very desii'able 

 also for the heme 

 garden. Plant a 

 sti'ong grower ■uith 

 clean, bright foliage. 

 Berries large, though 

 not of the largest, 

 regular, a u i f o r ni 

 shape, conical, bright 

 crimson, very firm 

 and of e X c f 1 1 e n t

 stand up well and re- 

 tain its bright color 

 is something remark- 

 able. Ripens second 

 early and continues 

 long' in bearing. 

 Doz., 25c: 100, 50c: 1000. $2.50. 



IMarshall. Brings a high price in market and is pro- 

 fitable wherever fine berries are in demand. ITni- 

 formly large, dark crim^ou, handsome, and very good 

 in qua'lity. The plant is strong and luxuriant but needs 

 rich soil and good culture for best results. Under these 

 conditions it is one of the very best and its excellent 

 quality and large size render it admirable for table use.

>lichig[an. By far the best late strawberry yet pro- 

 duced. It never fails to yield a crop of berries second 

 to none in value and which ripen the latest of any — 

 being a week to ten days later than the Gandy. The 

 berries are uniformly of 'extra large size, bluntly conic, 

 as shown m the cut. very even in size and form, deep 

 crimson color, fii-m anH attractive. The plant is a 

 strong grower and very prolific. Ever}- garden should 

 contain it for its supph' of late strawberries and every 

 fruit-grower to lengthen the picking season and ren- 

 der the price a profitable one. By reason of its solid 

 flesh, rich flavor and fine color it is the very finest 

 variety for canning. Doz.. 25c; 100, 60c: 1000. 84.00. 



>lurray's Eitra Early. Especially valuable for its 

 earliness, but it possesses also large size, productive- 

 ness, firmness and good quality. Of southern origin it 

 is well adapted to southern locations, its foliage being 

 free from sun-scald, and the plant st]-ong and product- 

 ive. The berries are large, deep crimson, of firm, drj- 

 flesh, sweet and richly flavored. It will be found valu- 

 able for an early supply of berries in the home garden, 

 and undoubtedly profitable for distant shipment to 

 market. Doz., 2oc: 100. 50c; 1000, 83.50. 



Parker Earle. One of the best for hot. dry locations 

 but succeeds on all good soils and v^ields enormously. 

 Plant large, forming large stools. \\\x\i foliage bright 

 and healthy. Ben-res large, long, regular and uni- 

 form, rich crimson, moderately firm and of excellent 

 quality. Midseason. Doz.. 25c: 100. 65c: 1000, .84.00. 



Seaford (P). Of the Bubach type, somewhat simi- 

 lar, but much better: fully equal to it in size, more 

 productive and sufficiently firm for shipment. The 

 tierry is large and solid, deep, rich, glossy crimson, 

 and 'of good Quality. Plant large and vigorous, \\ith 

 foliage that endures hot suns with wonderful endur- 

 ance' Valuable either for market shipment or for 

 family use. yielding an abundance of splendid berries. 

 It ripens about second earlv. Doz., 25c: 100. 50c; 

 1000. 83.-^0. 



Tennyson. Possesses to some degree the unusual 

 character of everbearing which gives it special value 

 for the family garden. Though rather irregular in 

 shape, the berVies are of good size, bright scarlet, flrm. 

 and of excellent quality. The plant is a fine grower, 

 with abundant, tough, healthy foliage, bearing early 

 in the season a heavy croj) and later a second lot, the 

 plants continuing to produce ripe berries sparingly 

 until early frost. Doz.. 25c: 100. 60c; 1000, 84.00. 



Timbrell (P). Demands rich soil and good culture. 

 It is a good grower with rank dark foliage: berries 

 large, solid, dark crimson and fine quality. Excellent 

 for canning. Especially suited to the amateur who 

 \\\\\ grow it well and very desirable for his table on 

 account of its fine quality and large size. Late. Doz., 

 25c: 100. 60c: 1000, 84.00.'
