MEEKS EARLY. 



MEEKS EARLY ripens with Michel's Early, Hoffman, etc., it is quite firm. 



large size for an early berry, and more productive 



than most early sorts. I believe this is destined 



to become the leadirig berry for many sections. 



The plants are large and vigorous, do not make as 



many runners as MitcheFs Early but plants are 



twice as large. 

 x SAUNDERS.— A Canadian berry of 'great 



'value for the market grower. I wish that all my 



customers would test it, as it is among the most 



desirable. The plant is large and vigorous, and is 



as healthy and hardy as any ever sent out. It 



makes ruany runners, has a perfect blossom, and 



is very productive. The fruit is very large, coni- 

 cal, slightly flattened, and often has a depression 



on one or both sides. It is deep red, and remark- 

 ably glossy. The flesh is of the same color, and 



has a sprightly, agreeable flavor. 



EDGAR QUEEN.— This is the result of a lifetime devoted to improving the 



strawberry. The originator selected this as the 

 very best from a lot of 5,000 plants grown from 

 the seed. It is unrivaled as a plant producer and 

 equals Crescent in productiveness. Probably the 

 most beautiful berry ever raised. The originator 

 selected berries over 2% inches in diameter, six- 

 teen of which filled a quart basket and weighed 

 one pound. 



MRS. CLEVELAND is one of the finest 

 growers I ever saw. Always making large, 

 healthy, vigorous plants. The fruit is very large 

 and fine but too soft for distant shipment. For 

 home use or near market it is one of the best. 



STEVENS very much resembles Hoffman, 

 same BUU UU(T*as firm. It is more productive, 



EDGAR QUEEN. \y ut ms t s worse. 



VAN DE M AN.— A vigorous grower, with strong and healthy foliage, that much 

 resembles the Lovett in plant and habit, and is re- 

 markably productive under favorable conditions. It 

 has received much praise from the Experiment Sta- 

 tions and is said to combine more good qualities than 

 any of the other new varieties. The berries are 

 large, conical, uniform and regular, deep glossy 

 scarlet in color, firm, and of a sprightly sub-acid 

 flavor. They are handsome and attractive and the 

 variety is to be commended as a very promising new 

 market sort, yielding profitable returns. Early. 



MINEOLA — This berry has been grown on Long 

 Island for seven or eight year.-!, but has never before 

 been offered to the public. It is a berry of exceptional 

 good quality. The fruit is very large in size and ex- 

 ceedingly sweet and luscious in quality. The foliage 

 is of great size, vigorous and healthy. Fruit borne
