NEW WARIETIES. 
Each season brings to our notice a number of new varieties of Strawberries for which 
more or less strong claims are made, and, as often proves to be the case, many of them 
are almost worthless, except, perhaps, in the locality in which they originated. 
But some are grand berries, and in the following list we offer only the 
rarious sections of the country and in all kinds of locations, 
have been tested in 
that 
and can- 
varieties 
not fail to give satisfaction if given proper care: 
Glen Mary. A superb variety which unites 
large size, great productiveness and good 
quality to a remarkable degree, and is evi- 
dently one of those sorts that are especially 
adapted to the amateur and those who 
grow extra fine berries for market. It is of 
extra large size, bringing the highest price 
in market, bright, glossy crimson, and fine 
in flavor. The plant is strong-and healthy, 
very prolific and on good soil the berries 
maintain their large size to the end of the 
season. We feel confident it will give great 
satisfaction, and all who delight in fine 
berries should not fail to set at least a few 
plants of it this season. Early.

BISMARCK. 
Bismarck. 
No. 5, of which it is a seedling. 
resembles Bubach in general appearance but 
is more robust and stocky, with the 
ironclad foliage, and is even more product- 
ive. The berries ,are very large, 
conical, seldom or never cockscombed, bright 
scarlet, firm and and of 
quality. It colors all with 
tip, and ships well.

somewhat resembles Bubach No. 5, but the 
plant is a better grower and the fruit is 
even larger and very much firmer. Often 
variable in shape, deep crimson, very glossy, 
firm and solid; quality very good indeed. 
It is excellent for canning, retaining its form 
perfectly. The plant is a strong grower and 
abundant bearer, its foliage showing not 
the slightest sign of rust. It has given im- 
mense satisfaction wherever fruited and will 
undoubtedly take a high rank. Early. 
$1.00 a doz., $4.50 a 100. 
MARSHALL. 
Marshall. A superb variety, especially 
desirable for its large size and fine flavor. 
It brings the highest price in market and is 
profitable where fancy berries are in demand. 
The berries are uniformly large, dark crim- 
son handsome and good.

The plant is strong and luxuriant but hardly 
productive enough in ordinary field culture, 
needing the rich soil and careful culture of 
the home garden, given which it will prove 
very satisfactory. Its excellent quality, fine 
flavor and large size render it admirable for 
table use. Mid-season.,
