Chas. Wright, of Sussex Co.. Del., says: Mrs. 

 Cleveland is a strong grower, large size, very 

 pretty (like the fair one for whom it is named), 

 and promises to rival Bubaeh. 



The following is what the originator says: This 

 plant was produced from seed sown about the 

 middle of July, 1883. It denotes Cumberland 

 parentage. A mixture of several varieties was 

 sown together, among which was Cumberland. 



It is a very large berry, vigorous stock, healthy 

 plant: fruited the next June and every season 

 since, bearing large, uniform berries of excellent shape and quality: color scarlet 

 and very attractive; pistillate blossom: withstands heat and drouth admirably well. 

 It was exhibited at Montgomery Horticultural Society. Ohio. June 2, 1886. and 

 ported as quite promising. Its intended name was Mrs. Garfield. Mr. N. H. 

 baugh moved that, as there was a Mrs. Garfield strawberry, this seedling be named 

 Mrs. Cleveland (if it be not too previous) in honor of the estimable lady which the 

 President weds this day. It originated with Mr. Geo. Townsend. of D^rk^ Co.. Ohio. 



Crawford— Originated bv and named after Matthew Crawford, of Ohio, who 

 holds an enviable reputation as a strawberry 

 expert: and I am sure Mr. Crawford would 

 never allow it sent out did it not possess de- 

 sirable qualities. He thus describes it: '"The 

 plant is very large and stalky, dark green, and 

 free from defects. It has a perfect blossom 

 and is a good bearer. The fruit is large to 

 very large, somewhat irregular at first, but 

 never coxcombed. Color bright, glossy red. 

 and lighter within. The flesh is firm and of 

 excellent quality, one of the best. It produces 

 a go>d number of strong runners, and i- a 

 variety of decided character." 



With me the Crawford is a fine berry, large, 

 firm, and of good quality, it is also a sturdy 

 and healthy grower, but will not do on poor 

 sandy soil. 



IIuverluiHl. — This variety is creating quite a Btii among Btrawberry growers 

 on account of its great productiveness, quite equaling the Crescent in yield, nearly 

 as large as Bubaeh No. 5. The plant i- a very vigorous gr >w< r It bids fair to 

 fine shipping variety, and, as it is v.-rv large, will command good prices in market 

 for years to come. No one will ever regret planting it. I shall plant largely of it for 

 market, as I believe it to be one of the most profitable varieties in cultivation.
