handsome, glossy, dark crimson color, and of delicious flavor. It is one 
of the best midseason berries, either for private use or market. It is 
a vigorous grower and requires good soil and high cultivation. As it 
does not thrive in all soils, it should not be planted extensively until its 
adaptability is ascertained,

fertilized to ensure best results.

color and of a rich aromatic flavor. 
Commonwealth. This is the latest of all Strawberries; bearing large 
conical, deep crimson fruit, sweet and of quality equal to the well known 
Bubach. Not only an extra large berry, but also very productive, of 
deep rich color and solid. It is smooth and quite juicy. The plants are 
strong, not quite so rank in growth as the Marshall, and free from rust. 
One of the best introductions of recent years. 
Gandy. This popular old variety is probably known by most berry 
growers. It is more largely grown than any other late variety. It is at 
home on black swamp land if well drained, upon medium stiff or red 
clay land. On sandy soils it is unproductive. All late varieties are 
compared by Gandy, which is the highest praise that could be given it.

British Queen. A popular English variety producing large, conical pale 
red berries of excellent flavor. 
President. The fruit is crimson in color and of superior flavor.

does not lose its lustre and turn dark for a long time after being picked. 
It is a vigorous grower, and, unlike Gandy, will produce a large crop on 
either high or low land. The fruit is so firm and keeps so well, it does 
not need to be picked oftener than three times a week. Its great 
productiveness, uniform large size, and unsurpassed carrying and keep- 
ing qualities make it one of the most desirable on the list. 
William Belt. An exceptionally fine berry. In quality it heads the list. 
The berries are as large, with some specimens larger than the Bubach. 
It is about as productive as the Bubach, and of nearly the same shape. 
Its color is a bright, glossy, deep red ; its season as late as Gandy. 
Stevens’ Late Champion. A new variety of the Gandy type yielding 
large crops of beautiful berries very late in the season. In New Jersey 
it is considered one of the finest sorts for late crop.
