The Pearl Strawberry 



With the exception of the Van Fleet Hybrids, no strawberry that has appeared during the past 

 twenty years interests me so greatly or one I believe to be so valuable as this. It is of the type 

 of the famous Gandy, sent out from the Monmouth Nursery in 1888, but superior to it in some im- 

 portant properties. It ripens late and continues until very late, a full week to ten days after Gandy 

 is gone, the berries are of mammoth size — larger even than Gandy — and bright flame color; it is ex- 

 ceedingly prolific, yielding a far greater crop than Gandy; it is of sweet, mild flavor, better than 

 the grand old Gandy, but the berries are not so firm. Plant of large proportions with clean, spot- 

 less foliage and succeeds on light and heavy soil. 



I am pleas-ed to be able to give this variety unqualified endorsement both as a market berry or 

 for the home garden. Pot-grown plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00.
