STAR(Per) — The largest berries we had last season were the Star. Were 

 we to tell you ten filled a quart, you might say that Worcester county will not 

 grow berries of that size, but we grew the Star this large in a low moist soil in 

 a favored spot in the garden, and similar soils to this must be had to grow the 

 finest specimens of any of the large berries. When you are look rag for some- 

 thing for the fancy market, you cannot strike one better than this. The plant 

 is strong, very vigorous and with no sign of rust, makes plants quite freely for 

 such a large berry as it is. In fact it will make twice as many as the Sharpless, 

 which it resembles, although it is superior to this variety with us. The berry 

 is as near perfect in shape as can be possible; bright glossy redfand of excellent 

 flavor. Its season of ripening is late. The accompanying cut^ is a very good 

 representation of this variety. 



BUBACM (Imp) — Hundreds of varieties have come up since this one was put 

 on the market by Mr. Bubach of Illinois, and there will be hundreds more of 

 them that will go before this variety. When you sum up the whole substance 

 of the strawberry crop you will find the Bubach will be among the leaders of 

 the old standard varieties when your hair has turned gray. This berry has been 

 thoroughly described year after year but for the benefit of those who have not 

 grown them we would say the fruit is of the largest size, ofttimes coxcombed 

 and it is not at all unusual to find berries of this variety weighing an ounce to 

 and ounce and a quarter. It will do fairly well under poor cultivation but re- 

 sponds freely to good food. The plant is perfect, having dark foliage very 

 stout crown, a prolific grower and only sets enough plants to give^ good sized 

 berries. 



SAUNDERS (Perj — One of the very best to plant with pistillate^varieties as 

 the pollen of it is very strong. The plant is a healthy grower, very productive, 

 fruit large, conical, slightly flattened and often has a depression on one or both 

 sides. It is deep red and is remarkably glossy. The past season only confirmed 

 our belief stronger in this variety as it was up to its standard in every respect. 



LOVETT (Per) — Plants are perfect beauties, healthy, no rust, spreading 

 out profusely if allowed. A good standard sort, medium to late, firm and pro- 

 ductive.
