STRAlVBEFOilES, HOLLAND BULDS, ETC. 



A gentleman wrote to us from Kentucky recently as follows : " In looking over the Strawberries at 

 the Kentucky Experiment Station, June i, 1899, I fmd to my judgment the McKinley the best berry on 

 the ground. Their size, color, and quality were very superior, andthere were a good many on the vines.' 



Marshall — Very large, roundish, dark, rich crimson ; 

 quality ver\' good, firm ; plant vigorous, pro- 

 ductive ; jseason medium to late. One of 

 the largest and fmest Strawberries of recent 

 introduction. We consider this one of the 

 very best varieties for all purposes. 



One of our customers wTites : " The Marshall 

 Strawbem.' plants you furnished me were more than 

 a success ;' they are much the best very large berry 

 I have ever fruited. The fruits were immense in 

 size, and held it until the end in a remarkable degree. " 



Michel's Early— This is the first variety to ripen 

 here ; berr\^ medium to large, roundish, bright 

 crimson, firm, fair quality' ; plant a strong 

 grower and a good bearer. We consider 

 this valuable on account of its earliness and 

 productiveness. 



Parker Earle — Un if r m ly 



large, regular, conical, 

 with a short neck ; 

 color, glossy scarlet 

 crimson ; ripens all 

 over ; flesh moderately 

 firm, no hollovv core', 



quality good : flowers perfect. Plant very vigorous, healthy, 

 and remarkably productive. 

 Sharpless— Introduced by us. We have fruited it extensively, 

 and regard it as one of the very largest and best straw- 

 berries in cultivation. Plant ver\- hardy, enduring both 

 heat and cold without injury here. To secure the best 

 results, we advise " hill culture."

 strong, healthy, vigorous and productive. A year ago we receive'd a sample of the fruit and it
