HARRISON'S NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 



Excelsior (Per.) — Early, large, firm, high colored 

 and well-shaped berry. It is immensely productive 

 and will take the place of Michel's Early wherever 

 tried. Wilson shaped and colored. Plant resembles 

 Hoffman, but larger and more robust. 



Fairfield. — Remarkably productive, medium to 

 large in size, firm enough for a commercial variety, 

 quite early and good quality. 



Gandy (Per.) — While this is an old variety, it is 

 probably the best late variety that has ever been 

 produced; is growing more and more in favor each 

 year. It does best in low bottom land that can be 

 well drained, and will do extra well in rich clay 

 soil. Fruit above medium size, dark color, very firm 

 and is a good shipper. 



Gladstone (Per.) — The berries are uniformly very 

 large, rich crimson in color, firm and of excellent 

 quality. Plant i§ large, exceedingly vigorous and 

 robust and on good soil an immense bearer, and the 

 berries bring the highest prices in market. Early 

 to midseason. 



Crlen Mary (Per.) — Under high cultivation in rich 

 clay soil is a remarkable good variety, but for the 

 careless way of planting we do not recommend it. 

 Fruit of large size, good color, firm and a good 

 shipper. 



'Haverland (Imp.) — The berry is from medium to 

 large size, bright red, long and pointed, fair in qual- 

 ity, and as a shipper it should be well pollenized 

 with perfect bloomers, and in this way you can im- 

 prove the firmness. It is one of the most productive 

 varieties grown. Medium. 



Jessie (Per.) — This berry does not seem to be 

 adapted to all kinds of soil. It is a splendid ferti- 

 lizer, good quality and good color; does extra well 

 in some sections. Very early and is one of the 

 largest berries on the market. 



Johnson's Early (Per.) — Clean, healthy grower 

 and a most rampant runner. In size this berry is 

 much larger than Hoffman, deep red in color, glossy, 

 firm, sweet and of excellent flavor. The plant re- 

 sembles Hoffman. Early. 



Kansas (Imp.) — Its drouth-resisting qualities are 

 superb. Its fruit is brilliant crimson, not only on 

 the surface, but through and through. It is very 

 productive, of fine, medium to large berries, firm 

 and good shipper. Late. 



King- Philip. — Plant and fruit of this variety 

 much resembles the Gandy, but is more productive. 

 Fancy-fruit growers would do well to plant this 

 variety. — Originator. 



Klondyke. — The plants are only medium size, btit 

 are very productive. Like Gandy, it produces some 

 pistillate blossoms early in the season. The fruit 

 is very large, obtusely conical, smooth, red, firm 

 and of good quality. 



Ziady Thompson (Per.) — This variety has been 

 grown world wide and in great variety of soils, and 

 it seems to succeed quite well. However, it is bet- 

 ter adapted to rich, loamy or sandy soils. It is 

 early, very large and quite productive. 



I^ouis Bubach (Imp.) — Large size, somewhat round, 

 very firm, immensely productive, claiming to pro- 

 duce three times as many berries as Lady Thomp- 

 son on the same soil; a business berry, dark red in 

 color. Four days later than Early Hathaway. 



Iiiving-ston (Per.) — In size it equals the best 

 specimens of the Jessie, and with the exception of 

 its quality and appearance, its greatest value lies 

 in the fact that its size increases as the season 

 advances. 



Midnig-ht (Per.) — Berries of very large average 

 size. It is a seedling of Haverland and Parker 

 Early. Last of all the season, ripening long after 

 the main crop of Strawberries is out of the way. 



Mark Hanna (Per.) — Seedling of Bubach, which it 

 very much resembles; berries on an average not 

 quite so large; very productive. Plants are very 

 large, fine growers. 



Marie (Imp.) — Season same as Bubach. The ber- 

 ries are round, dark crimson in color; flesh dark and 

 quality first-class, holding up in size to the very 

 last pickings. 



McKinley (Per.) — The plant is a fine grower, of 

 good size, a fair runner, clean, thrifty and product- 

 ive. The fruit is large, firm, bright red, red clear 

 through, roundish, conical in form, very attractive 

 and of high quality. Season medium to late. 



Michel's Early (Per.) — One among the very earli- 

 est; medium size. Berries rather sour, scarlet in 

 color. A healthy and abundant plant maker. Must 

 be thinned to get best results. 



New Home. — ^We have fruited this two seasons. 

 It has not been just as good as we hoped for; the 

 plants are not sufficiently strong to mature a crop 

 of fruit in a dry season. Lacking in foliage, the 

 fruit is of medium size, bright red color, but it is 

 a good keeper and shipper. 



New Globe. — A late berry. The plants are large, 

 vigorous and stocky, perfectly free from rust or 

 blight, and is a very heavy cropper of large, bright, 

 fine flavored and solid berries, which are good ship- 

 pers. The roots of these plants are very long, tak- 

 ing strengtli and vigor from a large surface of 

 ground, which enables every berry to mature and 

 hold a good size to the end of the season, stand 

 severe drought and the plants grow vigorously. 



Nick Ohmer (Per.) — When perfectly ripe it is of 

 a beautiful carmine color. An excellent shipper 

 and will surely suit the fancy trade. Berries run 

 in size from large to the very largest. The flavor 

 is delicious. Ripens about May 20 and continues 

 for about three weeks. 



New York. — This variety is fast becoming a 

 favorite. It is a cross of Bubach and Jessie. "New 

 York is a fancy berry for fancy trade. Very large, 

 bright red, strong foliage and heavy fruiter." 



Oak's Early. — Originated in Somerset county, 

 Maryland, in an old oak stump, from which it de- 

 rives its name. Ripens with Michel's and Hoff- 

 man's, resembling the latter, but far superior in 

 many respects, being a much stronger grower and 

 three times as productive and adapted to most any 

 soil. This berry is beautiful in appearance and fine 

 in quality. 



Tennessee Prolific (Perfect). — A desirable vari- 

 ety; ripens medium season; berries above medium 

 size. One of the most prolific varieties grown; 

 desirable to plant with pistillate varieties. Plants 

 should be thinned in order to get the largest 

 berries. 



Roug-h Rider (Per.) — Size and shape of the Bu- 

 bach, color and firmness of the Gandy, productive- 

 ness of the Sample; firm. The plants are very 

 rugged in growth, with thick, leathery foliage. 



Sharpless (Per.) — One of the largest when planted 

 on strong, rich, moist soil, but the variety will do 

 fairly well in lighter soils, but not as well as a va- 

 riety like Tennessee Prolific on poor soils. The 

 berry when not fully ripe is a little white at the tip. 

 Parsons (Perfect). — A berry that has probably 

 given the growers more money than any one va- 

 riety on the list during the past five years. It is 

 as productive as Tennessee Prolific, begins to ripen 

 with Tennessee and extends its season into Gandy. 

 Is firm, about the same shape as Tennessee, dark 

 brilliant in color; flesh dark red. It was originated 

 in Maryland in a noted strawberry section. It Jias 

 been extensively planted and is_ in greater demand 

 than ever. The plant in growth resembles Bubach 

 and will make twice as many plants to the acre. 

 Is a strong, perfect bloomer and a desirable vari- 

 ety to plant with varieties like Haverland. 



Superior. — It ripens midway between Michel's 

 Early and Haverland. It does not seem to be at all 

 affected by the dry, hot weather. The berries are 

 good size and shape and of a beautiful glossy red 

 color. Try Superior on rich land. Very productive. 

 Sample (Imp.) — This new berry is of large size 

 and fine quality, quite firm and continues a long 

 time in fruit. The berries are large to the last. 

 Yields as many berries as the Haverland and aver- 

 ages as large as the Bubach. Late. 



Senator Dunlap (Per.) — Medium to large, conical, 

 occasionally flattened slightly or ribbed; color a 

 rich dark crimson. Flesh red throughout, firm and 

 fine in texture; quality excellent, sprightly. Plant 

 a good strong grower and healthy. 



Sutherland (Imp.) — Plants have a dark green foli- 

 age and no rust. Seedling of the Bubach, with a 

 strong, vigorous, healthy foliage and a great bearer. 

 The fruit is large, bright color and has an elegant 

 flavor. 



Tilg-hman's Favorite. — Originated in Wicomico 

 county, Maryland, by one of the leading Strawberry 

 growers. Spoken of as a good market variety, ripen- 

 ing medium to late. 



ITncIe Jim (Per.) — Berry is very large and uni- 

 form in size, of a bright, beautiful red color, of high 

 quality; very productive. The plant is large and 

 healthy, with abundant foliage, forming a row just 

 right for fruiting. Season medium to late. 



Warfield (Imp.) — To get the best fruit of this 

 variety it must be thinned at least of one-half of the 

 runners that are made in order to give it sufficient 

 room and sunlight. If neglected and left too thick, 

 the berries are sure to be small, but in productive- 

 ness it is almost unsurpassed. The berry is dark 

 red color, firm and of medium size, 



Woolverton. — It will succeed on almost any soil, 

 but will do better on a sandy loam. The plants 

 make a good growth, have a perfect blossom, which 

 is full of pollen, and make an excellent variety to 

 plant with medium early to late pistillate varieties. 

 It is no uncommon thing to see blossoms and ripe 

 fruit at the same time.
