DESCRIPTIVE PRICE LIST OF CHOICE STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 7 



LaFayette, Ind. The Greenvills Strawberry which you sent us in the spring of 

 1890 has made a good growth, and we have just finished picking a magnificent crop 

 of fruit. The berry is quite uniformly large, of good quality, and makes a fine 

 appearance. I am very much pleased with its behavior this year — J. Troop, Horti- 

 culturist, Indiana Agricultural Experiment Station. 



The Greenville Strawberry has been one of the best varieties tested at this Sta- 

 tion this year. The fruits are very fine and of good quality. The plants make a 

 vigorous growth and multiply rapidly. — Peter Collier, Director New York Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station. 



The following is the official report of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta- 

 tion: The Greenville is a strong competitor of the Bubach, and indeed bears some 

 resemblance to that variety. The plants are a shade lighter in color than the Bu- 

 bach, make a stronger growth and are quite as productive. The berries average a 

 little smaller than Bubach, but are more uniform in size and regular in outline, and 

 of finer texture. It seems probable that the Greenville will have the important ad- 

 vantage over the Bubach of being a better shipper. — W. J. Green, Horticulturist 

 Ohio Experiment Station. 



Ft. Hill, S. C. Dear Sir. Replying to your favor in regard to behavior of 

 Greenville Strawberry, I will say that it ripens a week earlier than the Sharpless 

 and Wilson. The berry is a little larger than Wilson, fine in texture, superior in 

 flavor. Leaves small and erect, and comparatively free from rust. It was not 

 planted near Crescent and Michael's Early, but gave ripe berries at the same time. 

 I consider it a valuable acquisition to our list of varieties. — J. S. Newman, Vice 

 Director Experiment Station. 



Seaford, Del. The Greenville as I saw it on June 1, at my home in Delaware, was 

 the best I had, all things considered, in over 100 varieties. It seems to be all right, 

 and was the admiration of all who saw it. A strong grower, good bearer, large 

 size, firm and sweet. — Charles Wright. 



Under date of July 17, 1893, G. W. Tryon, Tryonville, Pa., writes: As regards 

 Greenville Strawberry, as a matter of course, I had expected a good showing from 

 it, from the fact that I had seen so many favorable reports from it, but must say 

 that it has far exceeded ray expectations. The plants are vigorous and very pro- 

 ductive. Berries of fine flavor and uniformly large. Surely the Greenville has 

 come to stay. 



Hanover, Wis., July 10, 1893. Dear Sir. In reply to your inquiry of July 1, 

 will say that the strawberry crop of Southern Wisconsin was not satisfactory, but 

 nevertheless Greenville showed its colors and is a " dandy" — no mistake. It is one 

 among a hundred that will take and hold rank among the standards. I only set out 

 100 plants of it this Spring — am very sorry now that I did not set out more, but I 

 make it a rule not to set out but very sparingly of any new thing until I know what 

 it is. Out of forty varieties I give it first place for productiveness. For hardiness, 

 shape and color it is all that could be desired, and for quality and aroma it is sim- 

 ply delicious. My twenty-five pickers all took notice of this feature, and had some 

 remarks to make when they came into the sheds where Greenville was. My dealer 

 said tome the first time I went to the city, after sending him a few of the Green- 

 ville : li What new variety is that you sent me the other day ? It is grand. It fills 

 the store with a delightful aroma. My customers all noticed it as soon as they came 

 in the door." Very truly, E. J. Scofield.
