MARSHALL {Henry). Few strawberries are more 

 desirable for table use than this, but it possesses 

 many other good properties, and brings a high price in 



market wherever fine berries are in demand. The ber- 

 ries are uniformly large, very dark crimson when fully 

 ripe, handsome, and all that can be desired in the way of 

 quality and fine flavor. The plant is strong and luxuri- 

 ant, but needs rich soil and good culture for best results. 

 Under such conditions it is one of tlie best, and its ex- 

 cellent quality and large size render it unsurpassed for 

 the familv garden. Midseason. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 

 1000, $3.50. 



NICK OHMER. Comparatively new, but worthy of 

 the highest praise, being remarkable for great size, beau- 

 tiful color, and immense productiveness. The plant is 

 exceedingly vigorous, with clean, healthy foliage, with- 

 out the slightest tendency to rust. The berries are of 

 the largest size, roundish-conical in form, uniform and 

 regular, rich, glossy crimson, firm and solid, excellent in 

 fjualitv, and average large to the verv last picking. Mid- 

 season. Doz., 30c: 100, 75c ; 1000, $5.'00.

IVHJRRAY;S extra early. Especially valuable 

 on account of its extreme earliness, but it possesses also 

 large size, productiveness, firmness, and good quality. 



Of Southern origin, it is well adapted to Southern loca- 

 tions, its foliage being free from sun-scald, and the 

 plant strong and productive. The berries are large, 

 deep crimson, of firm, dr}' flesh, sweet and richly fla- 

 vored. It is valuable for an early supply of berries in 

 the home garden, and also for market-growing. Doz., 

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



SEAFORD (Lloyd,), p. Of the Bubach type and 

 something similar. The berry is large, deep, rich, 

 glossy crimson, and of good quality. Plant large and 

 vigorous, with foliage that endures hot suns with w^on- 

 derful endurance. Yalnable either for market shipment 

 or for family use, yielding an abundance of splendid ber- 

 ries. It ripens about second early, and will be found 

 verv desirable to succeed the earlv sorts and iisher in 

 those ripening later. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00. 



SHARPLESS. A well-known and popular variety, 

 producing large berries of mild, pleasant flavor, but in lini- 

 ited quantities, except under favorable conditions. The 

 plant is large and vigorous, free from rust or blight.

 bright crimson, of good quality, but rather soft. Its 

 large, handsome fruit and good qualitv have made it a

TIMBRELL (P). Where it succeeds'it is a valuable 

 variety for the home garden by reason of its fine, hand- 

 some berries, but it demands rich soil and careful cul- 

 ture. A good grower, with rank dark foliage ; berries large, 

 firm, dark crimson, and of fine quality. Excellent for 

 canning. Especially suited to the amateur who will 

 grow it well, and very desiiable for his table on account 

 of its fine qualitv and large size. Late. Doz.. 25c ; 100,

Strawberry-Raspberry, 



A true raspberry of herbaceous habit, exceedingly 

 unique both in plant and fruit, and so ornamental as 

 to be worthy of a place in the garden for that reason 

 alone. It is a wonderful grower, always clean and vig- 

 orous, with a mass of deep green foliage Avith large, 

 fragrant, pure white blossoms, and although it suckers 

 immoderately, it is extremely hardy and produces ripe 

 berries for a period of some ten or twelve weeks — from 

 early in July until frost. The berries are of enormous 

 size, of the richest shade of bright crimson imaginable, 

 and are in very truth the most exquisitely beautiful of 

 any berry I have ever looked upon; but sadly deficient 

 in flavor, being dry and insipid. When stewed, how- 

 ever, it is very good, and superb when cooked with 

 some other red raspberry. It has been claimed to be a 

 hybrid of the Strawberry and the Raspberry, but this I 

 do not think is correct.
