Five Fine New Strawberries. 



Pot-grown plants which, if planted this sanimer, will produce a FDIiL CKOP of fruit next June. 



The varieties offered under this head have been selected from the many novelties offered during the past few years, and possess 

 so many good qualities that we can strongly recommend all for trial, and the Gladstone for extensive planting, as all indications are 

 that this variety will fully meet all promises made for it. 



Kansas Medium Late, Pistillate 



The introducer of this variety, one of the most extensive grow- 

 ers in Maryland, paid |loo for the original 12 plants, and in 

 offering same gives the following description : 



"There were over 100 varieties sent that were eligible to com- 

 pete for this prize. After several examinations by myself and a 

 number of disinterested growers, it was decided that the Kansas 

 had more good points than any of the others. 



" The Kansas originated in the State from which it takes its 

 name. The plant is an extremely vigorous grower, as free from 

 rust or disease of any kind as was ever grown ; its drouth re- 

 sisting qualities are surpassed by none ; its blossoms are pistil- 

 late, fruit a brilliant crimson, not only on the surface, but 

 through and through ; time of ripening medium late ; it is quite 

 productive, of medium to large berries that show up well in 

 the baskets and attract the best buyers ; the berry is firm, and 

 as soon as its merits become known we expect to see it ranking 

 high among standard varieties."

Xick Olliner Mid- Season, Perfect 



A great surprise is in store for all who fruit this strawbern,- fo 

 the first time ; its mammoth size, beautiful color and great pro- 

 ductiveness being really astonishing. The plant is exceedingly 

 vigorous, with clean, healthy foliage, without the slightest ten- 

 dency to rust. The berries are of largest size — a perfect giant 

 among strawberries — roundish-conical in form, uniform and regu- 

 lar ; rich, glossy, crimson, firm and solid, excellent in qualit)-, and 

 average large to the very last picking.

 per 1000. 



Gladstone Mld-Season, Perfect 



Without doubt the most important berry introduced in many 

 years, and one that we can, without hesitation, recommend for 

 extensive planting. It is a remarkably strong growing variety, 

 producing larger and stronger plants than any other sort known 

 to us ; its blossoms are perfect, and the fruit, which is borne in 

 great clusters, are of largest size and beauty, and unexcelled in 

 quality. 



We have distributed many thousand plants of the Gladstone 

 'during the past two seasons, and have heard only words of praise 

 :for it, from all sections of the country.

New York Mid- Season, Perfect 



Another extra large fruited variety that is very promising. W. 

 F. Allen, of Salisbury, Md , an extensive gi^ower of strawberries, 

 says of the New York : 



' ' As fruited here the berries are large to very large ; season of 

 ripening medium ; color dark scarlet, changing to crimson when 

 fully ripe ; colors all over at once ; no green sides or tips ; qual- 

 ity good. In growth of plant it is very large and stalky, equal- 

 ing in this respect the very largest ever grown, and for health 

 and vigor I have yet to see one that would surpass it."
