 ductive, of better flavor and has a perfect blossom. I allowed a number of 

 spring set plants to bear, and the fruit was large, bright glossy red and of ex- 

 cell ent quality. The plant is a vigorous grower, and has dark, clean, glossy 

 foliage. — Crawford.

PRINCETON CHIEF.— Originated in Illinois in 1884. The following is the 



originators description : 

 "it is a tall luxuriant 

 grower, with large, dark 

 green foliage, free from 

 rust or disease, very pro- 

 lific, enduring extremes 

 of heat or cold. It has 

 been tested on different 

 soils ior six years: it will 

 grow on am- soil the 

 same as the Crescent. 

 The blossom is large and 

 perfect and always sets 

 perfect fruit.

 ed in great abundance, 

 on tall, stout stems, 

 which stand up irom 

 PRINCETON CHIEF. six to eight inches the 



entire season, holding its load of berries irom the ground: there are no berries 

 on the ground to get dirty, rotten or scalded. The iruit is given the best chance 

 to mature and ripens all over at once, leaving no green spots or white tips. It is 

 beautiful in color, being of a dark glossy red. which alone will make it an orna- 

 ment for any table. They are so beautiiul in appearance that the moment they 

 are put on the market they will sell like hot cakes for the highest price. The 

 flavor is delicious and very sweet: being one of the sweetest of strawberries, it 

 can be called the honey strawberry: while its fine aromatic flavor, resembling 

 that of the wild strawberry, makes it one of the most delicious of berries. "—
