 E. J. Dakin. ^ 



GRJEENVILL<E (Imp.)— The berries are of lai'ge size, good quality and medium, texture. 

 color very even and fine, plant very productive^ vigorous and free from rust, good grower, 

 season medium to late. 



SAMPLE (Imp.)— Not having fruited this variety we can only give the descriptiofl as the 

 originator describes it. The Sample strawberry is admired by everyone who has seen it, and it 

 only awaits to be known to be universally appreciated. No one who has seen it has been able 

 to criticise it. We have now watched it with great- 

 est interest for three years, and are not able to say 

 that it has a single weak point. Believing that in 

 introducing it we are advancing the inreresL of the 

 fruit growers and the general public, Ave have no 

 hesitation in asking a consideration of its claims. 

 The introducer says: "This new berry is large size 

 and tine quality, quite firm, continues a long time in 

 fruit. The berries are large to the last. For the 

 marketmen it is the best strawberry ever grown. 

 Yields as many berries as Haverland, and averages as large as the Bubach. 



GEORGE TRIU3IPH— Plant in color very dark green, good stout grower, very large. 

 Fruit surface bright red, with inside yellowish tint. 



OCEAN CITY (Per)— The plant has dark green foliage, berries very large, of Sharp] ess 

 type, originated in this county. Succeeds well in light, moist, rich land: when put in high 

 sandy land it is a failure. We recommend it wherever late berries of fine quality are desired. 



JERRY RUSK (Per;— Fruit is magnificent, large, evenly colored, fine quality. The- 

 growth is all that could be desired, being strong, healthy and vigorous. Where it wa« origin- 

 ated it is claimed to be the best variety ever grown. Being a new variety it is Avorthy of trial.- 



JEK«EY MARKET (Imp.)— The berries are bright crimson in color and of large, but not 

 of mammoth size, being remarkably uniform in both size and color. They are above the aver- 

 age m firmness, of rich, delicious quality, and ripen in raidseason. Plant has large and abund- 

 ant foliage, and has never been affected by rust or scald. 



PRTDE OF CUMBER- 

 LAND (Per)— Fruit medium, 

 to large size, Avben fully ripe 

 is dark red. Perfect shape, 

 somewhat of Gandy type. 

 Sets lots of berries, but to 

 mature them it requires a 

 good soil. This variety 

 should not be planted on 

 light soils, as there are a 

 number ol other varieties 

 that Avill do much better. 

 Rather sharp, but pleasant 

 flavor. Planted very largelj' 

 in X. J.

; Dear Sirs:— The Straw-; 

 ^berry plants came in fine^ 

 ^condition and are first-.^ 

 ^class. I planted them the^ 

 ^same day that I received, 

 ^them, and all are growing^ 

 ^finely. Tbanks for your^ 

 ^liberal count and prompt^ 



shipment. y 



Yours very respectfully,^ 



H. A. Atkinson, i 



GLEN MARY (Per)— 



Shows up better than last 

 season, and it makes some 

 very large berries, but the 

 plant rusts very badly and 

 by rusting as it does, it does 

 not seem to have sufficient 

 foliage to cover the fruit 

 from the hot sun. therefore, 

 we consider Ave have better 

 varieties in cultivation than 

 this. 



SHARPLESS (Per)— An old standard A'ariety, one of the very largest, when planted on 

 strong, rich, moist soil, one Avould be surprised at the fine specimens it Avill produce, but this 

 A-ariefy Avill do fairly Avell in lighter soils, but not as well as a variety like Tennessee Prolific on 

 poor soils. The berry when not fullv ripe is a little Avhite at the tip. There have been numer- 

 ous A-arieties of this type put out in the past few vears Av:th the claim that it ripens all OA-er. 

 and for this reason onlv, they Avere superior to Sharpless, but I fear that they have missed it as 

 Ave find when it comes down to actual facts there are but few of this type that Avill surpass it. 



LADY THOMPSON (Per)— This A'ariety has been grown Avorld wide for the past three 

 years and in great A'ariety of soils, and it seems to succeed quite Avell; however it is better 

 adapted to rich, loamy or sandy soils. It is early, A'ery large and quite productive.
