JESSIE. 



(Bisexual. Early to mid-season.) 



A very large and handsome strawberry, 

 of bright, glossy crimson. Where /light, 

 rich soil and good culture has been given 

 it has given splendid satisfaction. Its 

 large size, handsome^ regular form and 

 fine quality makes it the most desirab'e 

 of berries. A gentleman in Massachusetts 

 who was awarded the $25.00 prize for larg- 

 est yield, grew gij^ pounds of fruit from 

 12 plants, the largest berry measuring q% 

 inches around . Plant strong, stocky, vig- 

 orous, iree from rust and wonderfully 

 productive. Jessie is one of the best pol- 

 ienizets for Haverland. The Wisconsin 

 Horticultural Society, after examining 

 the plants in fruit, unanimously adopted 

 the following: li Resolved \ That the show 



of the Jessie upon the grounds of. 



exceeds anything ive have ever seen in 

 size, productiveness a?id quality* and 

 ive believe it possesses more valuable 

 qualities than any new variety now 

 disseminated" (See cut.) Price, {pot

JEWELL. 



{Mid-season. Pistillate.) 

 A wonder among strawberries 

 when grown on heavy, rich soil 

 in hills and highly cultivated, 

 with a bi-sexual variety to pol- 

 lenize it; under such conditions 

 it is the most productive variety 

 grown. From single plant at one 

 picking we have filled a quart 

 basket heaping full. The ber- 

 ries are very large, well formed 

 and exceedingly showy; color, 

 rich crimson, flavor delightful. 

 It is a luxuriant grower; single 

 plants have covered a space 7 

 feet in circumference. Price,

 doz., $4.00 per 100. 



LEADER. 



(Bisexual. Early) sjj 



This will be a fine berry for 

 those who wish to raise some- 

 thing extra nice in early berries. 

 It is a strong, healthy plant 

 and is abundantly productive; the fruit 

 tall, stout stems, is of excellent quality, am 

 the berries are large, firm and of long, con-

LOVETT. 



{Bisexual. Early to ?nid-season) 



Fruit large, firm and handsome, a 

 decided beauty. In productiveness it 

 excels all other varieties we have ever 

 fruited, succeeding everywhere, even 

 upon poor, light land. We do not 

 claim for it mammoth size, but averag- 

 ing large and uniform, holding its size 

 to the close of the season better than 

 any other varieties; the berries color all 

 over at once. It gave us ripe fruit on 

 May 22d, and continued until the close 

 of tr e season. At a single picking it 

 does not give as much fruit as some 

 varieties that go quickly, but from first 

 to last we have never seen a strawberry 

 yield so much fruit. The agricultural 

 papers and State Experiment Stations 

 all speak highly of it. Its value is in- 

 creased from its being a splendid pol- 

 lemzer for mid-season pistillates. {See

JESSIE. 



MARY. (NeW.) (Pistillate. Mid-season to late.) 



One of the largest strawberries yet produced; the most prolific, the most beautiful. The berries are uniformly of the conical form 

 shown in the illustration, exceptiona ly uniform in size and shape, deep crimson color, and of extra rich, high quality, and keeps long when 



ripe, the berries retaining their 

 large size to the end of the sea- 

 son. The fruit is rarely ill- 

 shaped, never cockscombed, — an 

 unusual feature in a large berry. 

 We have had it in bearing for 

 three consecutive years and it 

 has not developed a single defect

MIDDLEFIELD. 



(Mid-season. Pistillate.) 

 Those who want something 

 extra fine in strawberries and are 

 willing to give good culture on 

 strong, rich soil, will find this va- 

 riety strictly * 4 fancy," and a 

 prize winner. The fruit is very 

 large, very symmetrical, firm and 



luscious quality and exceeding- 

 ly handsome. The berries color 

 all over, at first a light scarlet, 

 then deepening to rich crimson 

 as they mature, with a high gloss, 

 making them as brilliant as if 

 varnished; the flesh is also crim- 

 son clear through. The plant is 

 a healthy, vigorous grower, and 

 bears a long time. (See cut.)
