Columbian 



COLUMBIAN 



Thrifty, very productive, uniform and medium size, 

 roundish somewhat corrugated, light scarlet, seed 

 red when fully ripe, pink flesh, white at center, me- 

 dium soft, mild, sweet and pleasant, fine for fami- 

 ly or nearby maket. Ripens early. 



Berlin (Imp Per)— This variety we sent out sev- 

 eral years ago but did not put the price so high that 

 every one took hold of it at once. When this var- 

 iety is properly pollenized with some good variety it 

 will make a good crop of large dark colored fine ber- 

 ries. The plant is faultless in growth, healthy and 

 hasTnever shown any sign of rust. We recommend 

 it for trial. 



Cumberland— It is the old Cumberland which 

 has been grovtn for a number of years, it has been 

 cultivated quite extensively on a large scale and in 

 many sections is one of the most saleable varieties: 

 very large, not as bright in color as is desired. Old 

 beds left standing seem to produce more fruit each 

 season if fertilized. '^.■.^: 



Eleanor (Per)— The introducer of this described it being the largest and best 

 early strawberry and in productiveness it surpasses the famous Crescent, m firm- 

 ness equal to Wilson, color bright scarlet and has few equals in quality. We 

 say the past season it did very poor. We recommend it only for trial. 



Qlen Mary— About one-half perfect blossom, sufficient pollen to pollenize 

 itself although some growers f plant staminate varieties with it. Two years ago 

 this gave fine crops, the past season the fruit was only medium and the plai§;s 

 rusted very bad so that the crop of this variety was a failure. We hope that 

 others had better succe on different soils. Our original stock of plants came di- 

 rect from the introducer and arevery tine. We have put the price very low for 

 such a new variety. 



Holland (Per)— Stout' vigorous grower, foliage rich dark green and berries 

 Sarge. 



Morgan's Favorite (Per)— It was one among the very best this season fruit 

 of large • size, firm and a very ' 



heavy bearer. The plant will at- 

 tract more attention than proba- 

 bly any variety on our grounds, 

 owing to its stout, upright growth 

 It is an extremely large plant 

 and a great drouth resister. If 

 you want fancy berries ^do not 

 miss this one. From all reports 

 we have heard over the country 

 it has given perfect satisfaction 

 the past season. We recommend 

 this as one of the good kinds. .::.;:^, 



Margaret (Per)— This variety 

 was originated about six years 

 ago by John F. Beaver, Dayton, 

 Ohio, from seed of the Crawford. 

 It has made a remarkable record 

 —perhaps never equaled — and is 

 now offered with great confidence. 

 All careful growers may expect it 

 to produce the finest fruit in 

 great abundance. The plant is 

 large and healthy and so vigor- 

 ous in growth that it will mature its last berries and continue green and lux- 

 uriant while an abundance of strong runners are produced. The foliage is dark 

 greenlt commences to ripen soon after the early varieties and continues to bear
