MARSHALL (Henry, New York, etc.).— 



An old variety highly esteemed by many, es- 

 pecially in the New England States and New 

 York. It is a large, beautiful berry of rich 

 quality and meaty texture, but one that is de- 

 cidedly unproductive except upon fertile soil 

 and under high culture. Plant of vigorous 

 growth with clean, healthy foliage. Ripens in 

 midseason. 



McKINLEY.— Until the appearance of the 

 Van Fleet Hybrids, this variety was unrivalled 



as a Strawberry of high quality. Berries large, 

 handsome and freely produced on strong grow- 

 ing healthy plants. - Ripens in midseason and 

 is too tender in texture to endure shipment. It 

 is pre-eminently a variety for the home garden. 



POCOMOKE.— Supposed to be a seedling 

 of the old Wilson crossed by the Sharpless. 

 The berries resemble the old Wilson hut are 

 much larger. One of the best varieties; not 

 only for its enormous productiveness but on 

 account of its beauty, adaptability to all soils 

 (its foliage enduring dry hot weather) large 

 size, deep color, firmness and high flavor. The 

 plant is a strong, robust grower with_ deep 

 roots and lots of them; and is a prodigious 

 yielder. It ripens second early to midseason, 

 colors all over evenly and is very firm. 



PEARL.— (The last of all to ripen and all 

 things considered the best very late variety. 

 The berries are of colossal size, somewhat ir- 



regular in form, with uneven surface, light 

 scarlet in color and of superior quality, but 

 not very firm. Plant of strong, robust habit 

 and prolific. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $6.00. 



SENATOR DUNLAP.— For quarts, this 

 variety has few equals; and the berries, al- 



though not of large size, are attractive and very 

 firm. It is one of the most reliable varieties 

 for a crop, has bright clear foliage and has be- 

 come exceedingly popular, especially through- 

 out the Middle West. We are told there are a 

 great many spurious plants being sold for it. 

 Ripens in midseason.

 Fleets have proved the best. I have recommended them 

 to more than one." — Milford E. Bliss (Mass.).'
