DESCRIPTIVE PRICE LIST OF CHOICE STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 



county, North Carolina, and is there cultivated extensively for northern marl 

 Also is taking the lead near Norfork, Va. Fruited this one year only. I have many 

 new varieties, but above are the most promising. 



From a letter addressed to S. S. Darmon, a leading Commission Merchant or 

 Philadelphia, I have the following: 



W. F. Allen, Jr., Salisbury. Md. Dear Sir. Yours of the 12th to hand and con- 

 tents noted. We have sold quite a number of thf^ Westbrook strawberry last •• 

 some as high as §1.00 per quart. They present a very nice appearance and are very 

 good carriers. In our opinion they stand a very long journey better than any berry 

 that comes to this market. Their appearance adds very much to their selling quali- 

 ties, their flavor is also very good. We consider them upon the whole a very good 

 berry for Northern markets. Yours Truly, S. S. DARMON. 



Belle of L,aero§se.— With me this makes a vigorous and healthy growth and 



Jorks promising, but has not fruited hf-re yet. 

 John A. Salzer of Lacrosse, Wis., says of it. This 

 is a seedling. It is the finest and most prolific 

 berry we know. It is hardy as an oak: it is the 

 coming berry for home use and for market, on a 

 two year old plant at our Horticultural Exhibit 

 there were 142 berries. I. A. Wooll of Elsie. 

 Michigan, writes of it. Originated in Wise* 

 and said to be very productive and our exp< i 

 corroborates the ftatenient. Plant exceedingly 

 productive and vigorous, fruit large. We would 

 heartily recommend it for trial. Berries large and 

 showy and of go^d quality. 



Steven*. — This is a good berry for early 

 market, being productive very early and very solid. 

 Charles W T right of Sussex Co., Delaware, de- 

 scribes it thus. Ripened its first berries l>t of 

 May notwithstanding it was planted on the north- 

 west side of a woods, being twelve days ahead of 

 Belle of Lacrosse. Cresent in same field. It seems to be the earlie-t 



good berry, dark red very solid and productive. 



Alabama.— Another grand, early berry that has come to stay: a rank grower. 

 throwing up a strong fruit-stalk, which holds its fruit 

 up off the ground: drought does not seem to affect it: 

 moderately productive; fruit glossy bright red — looks as 

 if varnished: of large size and firm: will ship any 

 distance. 



Priee Seedling. — This new strawberry comes to 

 us from North Carolina. Our friends there say thai it is a 

 noble sort worthy of attention to all lovers of straw- 

 berries. It has done remarkably well with us, both in 

 plant and fruit, and it must be remember that do straw- 

 berry can be profitable unless its leaves are rigorous 

 and healthy. We see every evidence <>t a successful 

 variety in Price Seedling. The fruit is glossy scarlet, 

 elongated, with shining waw neck. The quality is 

 superb. We advise our friends to test this new candidate.
