CANDY. This valuable strawberry, introduced by me 

 in 1888, retains its popularity as a late variety, throughout 

 the length and breadth of the lard. In fact, as a large, 

 handsome and very firm berry, it still remains pre-eminent; 



GLADSTONE. From the 

 home of the popular Sharpless, in 

 Columbia County, Pa., comes this 

 worthy companion of it, and it 

 seems destined to become equally 

 popular. So far as tested I find it 

 a good bearer of uniformly large 

 berries of high quality, and these 

 alone render it of the highest value 

 for the home garden or as a fancy 

 berry for market. The plant is of 

 extraordinary vigor and exceed- 

 ingly robust; on rich soil bearing 

 immensely. The berries are of 

 great size, frequently measuring 

 2M inches in diameter, of broad, 

 roundish-conical form, of rich crim- 

 son color, very handsome in ap- 

 pearance and a good shipper. It 

 begins to ripen early and continues 

 in bearing for a long season, even 

 until quite late; but its greatest 

 value lies in its enormous yield and 

 general adaptability. The prop- 

 erties added to its uniformly large 

 size and high quality render it of 

 the foremost value, either for the 

 home garden or for market. Doz., 

 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.50. 



GLEN MARY (P). Achoice 

 variety that will well repay extra 

 care and culture, delighting the 

 amateur; and one that is profit- 

 able also in a fancy market. The 

 berries are large, bright glossy 

 crimson, and so handsome as to 

 bring the highest price ; moder- 

 ately firm and fine in flavor. The 

 plant is vigorous and health}', 

 very productive, and the berries 

 maintain their large size until the 

 close of the season. Quite early. 

 Doz., 20c ; 100, 50c ; 1000, $3.00. 



HOOD RIVER. A marvel- 

 ous variety in man}' respects, 

 combining earliness and great 

 shipping properties with extra 

 high flavor. Berries of large size, almost round and of 

 a deep brilliant scarlet. The plant is a rapid grower, but 

 strong and excessively productive; the berries lying in heaps 

 about the plants. Season very early, ripening with Michel's 

 Early. Doz., 35c ; 100, $1.00. 



H U N N . Remarkable for its extreme lateness, ripening 

 considerably later than Gandy and Michigan. The fruit 

 is large, dark crimson, and attractive, of uniform size 



lacking only productiveness and sweetness to render it well- 

 nigh perfect as a late market sort. Under high culture its 

 productiveness is greatly improved, as it is a vigorous grower 

 with an extremely robust plant; but it suffers from drought, 

 and must in consequence be given moist land or liberally sup- 

 plied with manures to counteract the ill-effects of dry weather. 

 The berries are large and uniform, both in size and shape, 

 bright flaming crimson and remarkably firm— standing long- 

 er and enduring shipment better in hot weather than almost 

 any other variety; but the quality is but ordinary. Plants 

 strong and vigorous, with large, clean leaves and stout fruit 

 stems which support the fruit from the ground. A superior 

 variety for canning and one that has proved a great money- 

 maker for many growers through the United States and 

 Canada. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



and shape, exceedingly firm, and of excellent quality. It is 

 a splendid shipper and stands up well. For the home garden 

 it will prove one of the best ; its superior quality commending 

 it for the table and its solid flesh making it unsurpassed for 

 canning. Doz., 20c; 100,50c; 1000, $2.50. 



Westchester Co., N. Y., April 20, 1900. 

 The strawberry plants were received yesterday in fine 

 order and we are very much pleased with them, the roots 

 being so nice and bright, which showed them to be young 

 plants. H. L. CARPENTER.
