Miller. — The plant is as large as that of the Nick 

 Ohmcr, or Marshall, periectly healthy, has a perfect 

 blossom, and continues to blossom until the fruit 

 begins to ripen— ripening every berr>' under favor- 

 able conditions, and thus giving a very long season 

 of picking. It sends out an abundance of strong 

 runners and is wonderfully productive. 



The fruit is very large, roundish-conical in form, 

 and of a bright, glossy red color. It is very uniform 

 in shape and size. It ripens all over at once, light 

 red at first, getting darker until fully ripe. The 

 coloring extends but a short distance from the 

 surface, the flesh being cream or light salmon. The 

 quality is among the best. The fruit-stalks are 

 strong and of sufficient length, but the fruit is 

 always protected by the foliage. It is easily picked 

 and prepared for the table. When the calyx is 

 removed, there is no cavity, but simply a white 

 spot where it was attached to the berry. All things 

 considered, it is the finest berr\- I have seen this 

 season. 



The above is a condensed description by the 

 introducer. At Monmouth it is a superb grower 

 and grows so well and I have heard so many nice 

 things said about it. I believe it to be an exceed- 

 ingly valuable kind. I shall plant it largely myself 

 the coming spring, and recommend others to do 

 likewise. Doz., 25c.; 100. 50c. ; 1000, $3.50. 



New York. — Produces the largest berries of any 

 variety in commerce, and especially desirable for 

 exhibition. It is also of fine appearance and good 

 quality, but the plant is a poor grower and succeeds 

 only upon heavy soil and under high culture. 

 Strictly an amateur sort, yet ver>- interesting and 

 worthy the care necessary to succeed with it, to 

 those who prize berries of mammoth size. Doz., 

 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1000, $4.00. 



Nichol's Graoiville. — Equalled by few strawber- 

 ries in point of fiavor, which is sweet and delicious. 

 It is a welcome acquisition, especially to the home 

 grower and sells quickly and well in the local 

 markets. The berry is of the old Charles Down- 

 ing type, but larger ; regular in shape, dark glossy 

 red. solid, and of the finest quality, but hardly firm 

 enough for shipment to distant markets The 

 plants are vigorous and healthy, with not the 

 slightest trace of rust or scald, and mature their 

 large berries to the ver\' last, yielding a large crop 

 under good cultivation. Midseason to late. Doz., 

 25c.; 100, 50c.; 1000, $3.50. 



Pennell. — So beautiful and attractive as to take 

 one's fancy at the first sight and so good as to con- 

 firm it afterwards, for in quality, too, it is one of 

 the best. The berries are large, nearly round, very 

 uniform in both size and shape, dark red, firm, rich 

 and very good. Plant vigorous, hardy and pro- 

 ductive, with foliage free from rust or burn. It is 

 of much value for both market and home use, 

 being so firm as to ship well and so handsome as 

 to sell well, whilst its good quality will commend 

 it for the family garden. Being so large, firm and 

 good, it is also one of the best for canning. Mid- 

 season. Doz., 25c.; 100,50c.; 1000, $3.50. 



Rough Rider. — Highly commended in Western 

 New York, where it originated, as a large and 

 beautiful ven.' late strawberry- of high quality, and 

 so firm of flesh and so prolific in yield as to render 

 it, with its other valuable properties, a most profit- 

 able variety for the market grower. At Mon- 

 mouth, however, the plant is of weak growth, 

 resembling in habit the old " Triomphe de Gand," 

 and consequently not yery satisfactory. It is with 

 me quite inferior to other late varieties. Doz. , 25c. ; 

 100, 50c.; 1000, $3.50. 



Ssunple iP). — Avery prolific variety and a very 

 fine strawberry in many ways. The berries are large 

 and continue large throughout the season ; round- 

 ish conical in form, attractive in appearance, quite 

 firm and of decidedly good fla\ or. Plant a strong 

 grower with clean, healthy foliage, and succeeds 

 upon a wide range of soil — although it prefers 

 rather heavy land. It has rapidly become popu- 

 lar and continues to become more so from vear to 

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



Salem. — A New England variety, which piom- 

 ises to take a front place by reason of its fine 

 quality. The berries are ver>' distinct, being cor- 

 rugated in form and uniform in shape, large, firm, 

 dark crimson, and of extra good quality, finely 

 flavored. It bears well, and the plant is ver>' 

 thriftv and stout. Ripens mid-season to late. Doz., 

 25c.; '100, 75c.; 1000, $5.00. 



Success. — With the exception of the Anna Ken- 

 nedy, the most beautiful strawberry I have ever 

 grown, and is one of the earliest large berries to 

 ripen. It is larger and more productive than the 

 Anna Kennedy, hence I grow it in preference to 

 that variety. The berries are large, of globular 

 form, bright flame color, and of superior mild, 

 sweet flavor ; but they are too soft in texture for 

 market growing. Plant of strong vigorous 

 growth, and one of the most prolific varieties in 

 cultivation. By reason of its earliness, beauty, 

 fine quality and productiveness, it is a strau;berry 

 of great value to the home grower. Doz., 25c.; 

 100. 50c. : 1000, $3.50. 



Thompson's Earliest. — A seedling of Michel's 

 Early, which it somewhat resembles both in plant 

 and fruit ; but the berries are larger and the plants 

 more productive. The color is bright, and the 

 flesh firm and good in quality. Its extreme earli- 

 ness renders it of great value, whether grown for 

 market or for a ver\- earlv home supplv. Succeeds 

 finelv at the South. Doz.. 25c.; 100. 60c.; 1000. 

 $4,00.
