originated Young's Early Sunrise, and must be pure. It is evident however,that 

 he originated the name onl j. We bave a fine stock of these plants and will

ANNA KENNEDY — Remarkable in uniformity of size and shape and of 

 great beauty— a berry to delight the amateur . 

 It is a stout, vigorous grower with large, 

 healthy foliage, bearing abundantly under 

 fairly good culture. The berries are medium, 



globular in shape, very smooth and regular, CluJif ^ 



of brilliant flame color, firm and of fine qual- 

 ity, rich and sweet. I have iruited it and 

 can recommend it as an abundant bearer of 

 fine berries, ripening in mid-season. It will 

 charm all who enjoy beautiful, luscious 

 strawberries. 



SPLENDID— This berry is well named. 

 The vines are a rich dark yreen in color, with- 

 out a spot of rust or disease of any kind and 

 grow like weeds It is \ ery productive of 

 uniform medium size berries, berries that are 

 firm and show up well in the package. It is 

 an excellent shipper. 



G ANDY— This is the standard late berry anna Kennedy. 



of America, large, firm, uniform and very at- 

 tractive. Will not do its best afc fruiting time 

 on light sandy soil. Black swamp or medium 

 stiff soil seems to suit it best My present stock 

 of this popular variety is the largest I ever grew 

 and is very fine in quality as well as quantity. 



SATISFACTION— This is a seedling of Wil- 

 son and a reproduction of that grand old varie- 

 ty, having a large full perfect blossom and the 

 plant in every way closely resembling its par- 

 ent, except that it is a much more vigorous 

 grower and makes plants more freely, w T ith a 

 clean healthy ioilage, having no rust or weak- 

 ness of any kind, berries medium large, heart- 

 shaped and always of the same shape. It holds 

 fruit up well on strong trusses. Color scarlet, 

 always coloring all over at the same time. 

 Flesh red, quality good, being less acid than its 

 parent. It is very productive, at least equal to 

 Haverland in ihis respect. Berries firm and 

 will carry well to a distant market. Season 

 gandy. medium. 



GERTRUDE — 'The Gertrude strawberry was a chance seedling found grow- 

 ing among some grape vines on my place in 1887 by my daughter, Gertrude, 

 from whom it derives its name. Among known varieties this is one of the ear- 

 liest to mature. It ripens with the Bedar Wood and other sorts, being larger 

 than any early variety, and ranks in size with sharpless, Bubach and Gandy. It 

 holds well to the last picking. It is a pleasing bright scarlet color, very attrac- 

 tive. Its flesh is firm and of good quality. I has no sign of rust or other de- 

 fects about it and is quite productive. The blossoms are large and perfect, and 

 well supplied with the much desired pollen, making it a grand pollenizer for 

 other pistillate sorts." — Introducer. I have now fruited this berry one time and 

 am inclined to believe the originators description is correct. He is certainly 

 more conservative than most orignators.
