 soil and does wel lin all sections where grown. The

 plenty of plants for a good fruiting bed. It is very 

 productive of large, handsome berries. The large, light

Glen Mary Strawberries 



GLEN MARY. In the middle and northern states where 

 Glen Mary is at its best, probably no variety of straw-

 and good quality. Glen Mary is a strong grower and 

 produces an abundance of foliage. The blossoms are 

 about half perfect, but carry enough pollen for their own

 berries can be increased by planting in a few rows of 

 some strong pollenizer, as Big Joe. Ekey, or Rewastico. 

 Get your order in early, because Glen Mary is popular 

 and you should not miss it. Price $8 per thousand.
