DESCRIPTIVE PRICE LIST OF CHOICE STRAWBERRY PLAVTS. 







largest are coxcomb. They ripen very evenly all over: the berries never scald or 

 burn in the sun, and we have had them hang on vines for several davs after ripen- 

 ing without spoiling. The berry is a very nice, red, glossy color, v. ith red flesh and 

 of goad flavor, which makes it a good berry for home use and one of the most profit- 

 able market berries we have ever grown. 



It is as productive as the Crescent, in quarts. In June, 1890, one row made 

 nearly as much money as two rows of Crescent with equal cultivation. 



M. Crawford says : *' This has again succeeded admirably, and is likely to be- 

 come a standard variety. It seems to do well on any soil, and it needs no special 

 culture. With an ordinary chance it bears a heavy crop of large, fine looking ber- 

 ries. It is usually of roundish, conical form, rarely misshapen, and of fine color 

 clear through." / 



* CHAIRS.— Originated with Franklin 

 Chairs of Anne Arundle County. Maryland. 

 This is of very large size, medium early, 

 productive, and a vigorous grower. The 

 fruit is round-conical and perfectly formed, 

 making it very attractive. Those who are 

 looking for a fine large variety for home 

 use or near market should not fail to in- 

 clude Chairs in their collection. 



DEW. — Is a very vigorous grower with 

 large healthy foliage, somewhat resembling 

 Sharpless, but perhaps a little larger. It 

 has done very well here, but I hear some 

 bad reports. also some gcod ones. Origi- 

 nated in Michigan.

 be selected from his catalogue, to the 

 amount paid him for Beebe plants. I have 

 fruited it and shall not call on him to re- 

 fund anything to me. as with me it is a fine 

 berry. It was an easy matter to find speci- 

 mens that would measure six and seven 

 inches in circumference. It was the most 

 productive of very large berries of any 

 variety I ever fruited, and the average 

 size was the largest of any we had. The 

 berry is, however, too soft for distant ship- 

 ment, and did not ripen as early as might 

 be desired, but it is a grand berry neverthe- 

 less, if planted in rich soil, given thorough 

 cultivation and not allowed to get too 

 thick. BEEBE. 



LEADER. — The Leader fills the long felt want of a large extremely early berry. 

 It is of fine quality, oblong in shape and very bright crimson in color, enormously 

 productive and continues in fruit for a long season, maturing the last berries nearly 

 as large as the first. Blossoms are strong staminate. Plants very vigorous, making 

 plenty of runners, and showing no trace of scald or rust.
