JUCUNDA IMPROVED. 



Old-time lovers of the Jucunda or Knox's 700 

 who are now mourning the absence of that caprici- 

 ous old favorite may well be consoled by the ad- 

 vent of this fine variety, which not only possesses 

 the sterling virtues and attributes of the old favor- 

 ite, but is truly, as its name implies, a decided im- 

 provement upon it. For the Jucunda in its palm- 

 iest days never possessed the vigor and endurance 

 of this noble vari ty. And the berry itself is no 

 less fine, large, regular and uniform, Arm and solid, 

 rich crimson in color and sweet in flavor; it is one 

 of the finest for the home garden and profitable for 

 markets where larye fancy fruit is in demand. It 

 is a good bearer and delights in a rich, moist soil. 

 Midseason. Doz., 35e; 100, $1.00; 1,000, $5.00.

MAXWELL. 



A very promising sort which should be better 

 known. Although of recent introduction, it has 

 been fruited for several years and, at its home, is 

 the best strawberry, all points considered, among 

 a collection of some sixty- five varieties. The plant 

 is exceedingly productive and grows well. The 

 berries are held up on tall, strong fruit- stalks, and 

 are large, round, very uniform, and of superior 

 quality. It is a seedling of Windsor Chief fertilized 

 by Chas. Downing and a worthy scion of such par- 

 entage. Midseason. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50; 1,000, 

 $20.00. 



TIMBRE LL (P), 



A new variety of undoubted value and which 

 promises to take a leading position among standard 

 sorts. A seedling from Orange County, New York, 

 it has fruited in various parts of the country with 

 decided success and is now very favorably looked 

 upon as one of the " coming berries." We have 

 fruited it here with much satisfaction and know it 

 to possess much merit. The plant is a thrifty 

 grower, with rank dark foliage, and a heavy 

 yielder; the berry is large, round, symmetrical, 

 dark crimson in color, hi*h flavored, firm, and 

 bears shipment well. This is without doubt the 

 highest in quality of any of the extra large berries 

 that has yet appeared. Late. Doz.. $2.00; 100, 

 $10.00; 1,00\ $75.00. 



BEVERLY. 



A choice variety that will give much pleasure 

 and satisfaction when grown on good, strong soil. 

 It is not adapted to careless, slovenly culture, but 

 will give splendid results if properly cared for. 

 Tlje plant is robust and its foliage is bright and 

 clean. The fruit is uniformly large, of bright 

 glossy crimson, flesh firm, and excellent in qual- 

 ity. It is one of the best of the large, productive 

 sorts and maintains its large size to the last. 

 Midseason to late. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1,000» 

 $6.00.
