OF CHOICE STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



GANDY BELLE. 



GANDY BELLE. — Is a large berry, perfect bloom and very productive. 



Benies dark red when ripe. The plant is a very 



strong grower; always makes a heavy bed of 



plants. Time of ripening, early: quality very 



fine. Cleveland Nursery company descritx - it 



as follows : It was sent to us as the best berry 



ever sent out, being large, early, firm, productive 



and healthy. We find it all that was claimed 



for it and this year out of all our berries this 



was put down as the best taking into considera- 

 tion its firmness, making a good shipper. It is 



a perfect beauty and this season as near the 



Ideal strawberry as can be found or that we find 



up to this time. 



JAY GOULD is not a large, showy berry bat 



for a canning berry beats anything we have 



grown, firm as Wilson, much brighter looking, 



quality better and produced a crop much above 



the average. 



SHUSTER'S GEM.— A fine variety with a strong, vigorous plant rnd bright, 



healthy foliage. Fruit large globuhr. regu- 

 lar and uniform, beautiful bright scarlet, 

 excellent quality. It is only moderately firm 

 and hence not especially adapted . or distant 

 shipment, but for local market or the home 

 garden it is unexcelled. Early to midseason. 

 KLICKITIA. — Another year's uniting in 

 a season wholly unfavorable, supports my 

 previous good opinion of this variety. It 

 lacks firmness as a market iruit. but is super- 

 ior for home use, where highest quality is 

 desired. Very few of its rivals can equal it 

 in delicate flavor, while in good looks and 

 productiveness it is not deficient. In all of 

 the above points it has two seasons with me 

 surpassed Mrs. Cleveland, Eurekr, Prin< 

 and Shuster's Gem. growing < n the same 

 shuster's gem. so il a f ew ro j s distant. — Originator. 



CRESCENT.— Too well known to need description. My stock of this old 

 standard sort is very fine. 



DAYTON.— It is a fine large berry i of dark 

 crimson color, firm^of handsome form and 

 excellent quality. The plant is a healthy and 

 vigorous grower with large, cle?n foliage. It 

 possesses unusual shipping qualities. It is 

 among the best of the Large, newer sorts ;md 

 we can recommend this variety as one that 

 will give satisfactory returns in the sl>. pe of 

 handsome ruit ii given a tail treatment. 

 Season early.

 quality. A reliable grower in Ohio describes 

 it as being very productive and quite early. 

 Berries Large, roundish conical, Blightly flat- 

 tened and usually necked, iirsli firm and o 

 rich agreeable flavor snd thinks it will disap- 

 point no one, especially <>r home use.
