The above was my description of Glen Mary last year, and thus far I have 

 nothing to add to or take away from except that I have paid the $100 m gold to

If I were going to plant 10,000

for twelve plants which I must admit excelled 

 .......£ tne Clen Mary to some extent, although 



this was the only one that came any- 

 where near equaling it. 



W. E. Palmer, of Florida, says: "The 

 Glen Mary plants I bought of you last 

 spring are a sight to see. I have plants 

 a half bushel measure would not cover." 



T. C. Kevitt, of X. J., says under date 



53 " "" " ' fc of October 20, 1897: "Glen Mary is the 



best strawberry on earth. The man plants Glen Mary will have a Klondyke 

 right at home. We are going to set out six acres of Glen Mary in the spring, we 

 have fruited it now for two years and it has proven to be the best out of a thou- 

 sand sorts on our grounds. " 



HARGARET — "The plant is large and healthy, and so vigorous in growth 

 that it will mature its last berries and continue green and luxuriant while an 

 abundance of strong runners are produced. The foliage is dark green, and so 

 clean and healthy looking that it is a pleasure to work among the plants. The 

 blossom is perfect and one of the strongest ever seen. It commences to ripen 

 soon after the early varieties and hears until nearly all others are gone. With 

 a good chance its berries are all of large size. The plant with its habit of 

 growth and productiveness is faithless The fruit is dark, glossy red, and the 

 berries are not inclined to have white tips. The large, green calyx adds to its 

 beauty. The flesh is firmer than most very Large berries, and of excellent flavor. 

 For healthy vigorous growth, productiveness, size, beauty and quality, the Mar- 

 garet is a remarkable variety." 



The Margaret was at its best here last summer. We had bushels from ordi- 

 nary matted rows, that contained just about 20 berri< b to the quart. It contin- 

 ued in bearing over a month, and produced nice berries to the last. 71 M. Craw

With me the Margaret is a line health} grower and corresponds with the a 

 description as near as I can tell without hiving fruited it.
