MARIE— Is one of a lot of seedlings grown in i892 from seed of Crescent, fertilized with 



Cumberland. When you can get 

 a berry that will make as many 

 bushels as the old Crescent, and 

 as large as Cumberland, with 

 good solid color, then you are 

 approaching the ideal " in the 

 strawberry. 



Originator's Description.— 

 Marie, grown from seed of Cres- 

 cent, fertilized with Cumberland, 

 in 1892. As a seeding it showed 

 great promise. We planted for 

 field culture as soon as sufficient 

 number of plat ts were obtained, 

 and as yet have failed to detect 

 any weak points in either fruit 

 ., V - .w ■, , or plant of this grand varietv.

;ood crop, and show no signs of 

 disease. The blossom is imper- 

 fect; season same as Bubach and 

 Hayerland, Equally as large as 

 Bubach, Glen Mary or Brandy- 

 wine, and yielding with any ya- 

 riety: besides, it is the most at- 

 tractive in appearance when 

 picked and ready for market of 

 any in our entire collection. 

 The berries are round as a ball, 

 dark crimson in color; flesh 

 dark and quality first-class, hold- 

 ing up in size to the very last 

 pickings. 



MARIE. 



rir. W. J. Green, of the Ohio Experiment Station, says: "According to your request I 

 giye you the report of your seedling No. 2 Strawberry, (now named Marie), which was sent here 

 for trial. We have found it to be a thrifty, healthy growing plant, and quite prolific; the ber- 

 ries are medium to large, and hold their size quite well during the entire season. I think it is 

 sufficiently firm for market, and when the plants are restricted as to numbers, I believe that the 

 berries will be of fair size. We allowed them to run very much as they would, and so the ber- 

 ries were not quite as large as was desirable. Its great prolificacy makes it a variety of con- 

 siderable promise." 



MONITOR.— This magnificent berry, a product of southwest Missouri, originated as a 

 chance seedling in the orchard of Mr. Z. T Russell on a Plot that formerly contained Crescent, 

 Capt. Jack and Cumberland. It has all the productiveness of the most productive Crescent, the 

 beautiful, vigorous foliage of the Capt. Jack and is very much larger and mora firm than the 

 Cumberland. It is a fine plant maker. 



Mr. S.S. Riley, Secretary of the Carthage Fruit Growers' Union, says: "It has been my 

 privilege many times during the past three seasons to observe the habits and characteristics of 

 this new seedling. The plant is large and healthy and so vigorous in growth that it will m ture 

 its last berries and continue such a nice dark green that it is a pleasure to walk among them. 

 The bloom is perfect and one of the richest in pollen. Time of ripening is with the first Cres- 

 cent and continues until nearly all others are gone. The berries are all of large size. The plant 

 with its habit of growth, its productiveness and beauty is without a peer. The fruit is bright, 

 shiny red and uniformly large, firm and attractive. The flesh is firmer than most large berries 

 and "is of excellent flavor. All points considered, I regard it as a very remarkable variety, and it 

 will be a valuable addition to the list of every one who gives it a fair trial.'' 



LIVI.NQSTON (Per.)— Is a seedling of the Warfield.pollenized by Jessie. It is a vigorous 



healthy plant, with very thick, leathery, dark.

t Messrs. J. G. Harrison & Sons 



Sirs:— The 9,000 strawberry plants and X 

 the bale of trees arrived several days ago | 

 and we must confess it was the nicest order t 

 we have ever received in our 12 years of ex- | 



Ferience in the business. The" plants are t 

 resh dug, well rooted, strong and robust J 

 and another point you observed was that X 

 every variety we ordered we g-^t. There t 

 X was no substitution. We can truly recom- ♦ 



♦ mend you to ail growers and buyers as true ♦ 



♦ and re"liable as far as our orders for several ♦ 

 J years are concerned. | 



Yours truly, Geo. H. Rex & Sons. ♦ 



green leaves that never damp off under mulch. 

 It forms splendid crov. ns and roots very deep. 

 The berries are a beautiful scarlet, and po-sess 

 a lustre that I never saw on any ether berry 

 that gives a well filled crate the tippoarrnce of 

 being'constantly swept by flames. It.- quality is 

 the very best. The shape is '■imilarto War- 

 field, biit more full at the poirt. In size it 

 equals the best specimens of the Jessie, and 

 with the exceptions of Its quality and appear- 

 ance, its greate>t value lies in the fact that its 

 size inci-eases as the season advances.— Intro- 

 ducer. 



CARRIE SILVERS. (Imp.)— This vr.riety 

 was the result of cio-sing with Sharpless a 

 seedling of Warfiehl fertilized by Parker E.irle. 

 Plant and foliage strong, vigorous and healthy; flower imperfect; enormously productive; 

 berry large, bright red, good quality and firm. 



ROBBIE. (Per.)— A strong plant, exceedingly vigorous, healthy and productive. Berry 

 large, round, bright red, firm, and of exceptiorially fiiie (quality. Ripeii.s very late.
