ELLWANGER & BARRY S CATALOGUE OF 



Sharpless — This variety 

 originated in Pennsyl- 

 vania, and was introduced 

 by us sixteen years ago. 

 We have fruited it exten- 

 sively ever since, and still 

 regard it as one of the 

 very largest and best 

 strawberries in cultiva- 

 tion. Plant very hardy, 

 enduring both heat and 

 cold without injury here. 

 To secure the best results. 

 we advise "hill culture." 

 (See Directions for Cul- 

 ture.)"

 hardy, vigorous and pro- 

 ductive. The most widely known and universally successful 

 strawberry grown. Holds its own wonderfully. 



CUMBERLAND. 



SHARPLESS. 



Mr. E. S. Carman, Editor of the Rural New Yorker, says in the issue of that paper, July lJj., 1893 : 

 " It is the writer's belief that there is as yet no variety of the Sharpless class that is superior 

 to the Sharpless itself. We were among the first to try the Sharpless after its introduction by 

 Ellwanger & Barry, and we have tried about every variety of this class introduced since." 



New and Recently Introduced Varieties of Promise. 



Under this heading we embrace such of the newer kinds as we have not yet tested sufficiently

 most promising and we hope, all may prove worthy of a permanent place on our list, after 

 longer trial.
