MARY (P). 



Of the numerous straw- 

 berries we have introduced 

 none of them has more ful- 

 ly sustained the strong com- 

 mendation we then gave it 

 than has the Mary. It has, 

 in all respects, most fully 

 borne out all that we have 

 claimed for it and, what is 

 perhaps more convincing, 

 greatly pleased and fully 

 satisfied all who have fruit- 

 ed it. The belfries are uni- 

 formly of extra large size, 

 obtuse-conical in form, reg- 

 ular in size and shape, never cockscombed, deep 

 crimson, firm and solid, and of a rich, high quali- 

 ty. The plant is very vigorous, exceedingly hardy 

 immensely productive and withstands all extremes 

 of weather without injury. Briefly stated, it is 

 the largest in size of all strawberries, and one of the 

 most prolific, beautiful and firm strawberry ever 

 produced. Midseason to late. 



Mr. J. H. Norris, Greenup Co., Ky., the origina- 

 tor of the Lovett Strawberry and a veteran profes- 

 sional strawberry grower^ writes us the following 

 unsolicited letter : "I have tested during the last 

 sixteen years over 200 different varieties and have nev- 

 er found any strawberry that would anywhere near 

 equal Mary in vigor of plant, hardiness, productive- 

 ness, large size and beautiful appearance. Some of the 

 plants bought from you yielded over two quarts per 

 single plant of the largest and finest strawberries I ever 

 saw. The berry is of good quality and a good shipper."

ANNA KENNEDY (P). 



One of the most 

 valuable of recent 

 introductions and 

 a seedling of our 

 own produced by 

 crossing Jersey 

 Queen with a 

 seedling descend- 

 ed from the finest 

 varieties of the 

 'time. It was se- 

 lected as the best 

 among over three 

 thousand seed- 

 lings and we have 

 fruited it for sev- 

 eral years with 

 immense success. 

 The plant is extremely sturdy and vigorous with large 

 foliage, clean and healthy. The fruit is truly wonder- 

 ful in its smooth, regular form and beautiful appear- 

 ance. Medium to large, globular, of an intensely bril- 

 liant flame color, very glossy, firm, rich and sweet in 

 flavor. We have never yet found an ill-formed or 

 cockscombed berry among them but all are of perfect 

 shape and marvelous beauty. Midseason. Doz., 75c; 

 100, $5.00. 



MARSHALL, 



Especially desirable for the amateur; he will find in 

 it all that he may desire in the way of large size 

 and fine flavor. The berries are uniformly large, very 

 dark crimson when fully ripe, 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. Midseason. Doz., 60c; 100, $4.00.
